The Federal Government's Chief Information Security Officer, Camilo Sandoval, says he has taken Leave from his Day job to help the Private Voter Fraud Investigation Group, "Voter Integrity Fund."
"Voter Integrity should matter to everyone, and a failed or flawed contest undermines the legitimacy of our democracy. As a volunteer on this project and former campaign political data scientist, I am leveraging my skills to bring further transparency and accountability to our electoral process by rigorously modeling and evaluating publicly available election Results. The results of our findings should be fascinating to everyone, Republican or Democrat. Sandoval, a Trump Appointee said.
But Local, State, and Federal Officials across the Country have stated there is No Evidence of Widespread Voter Fraud. And while the Founder of Voter Integrity Fund, Matt Braynard, said the Group has found Some Evidence of Voters Illegally Voting across State Lines, they haven't made any Evidence Ppublic.
Multiple Lawsuits filed by the Trump Campaign and Others have been Thrown Out of Court, for Lack of Evidence.
Chris Krebs, the Trump Administration Official in Charge of helping States Secure their Elections, has ramped up his Efforts to Reject the False Claims coming from Trump and his Supporters.
His Agency, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, released a Statement last week along with State and Private Election Officials saying, "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised."
Multiple Federal Officials are working in the Voter Integrity Fund, according to Braynard, which is based out of his Apartment in Northern Virginia.
"This is neither illegal, unprecedented, or you can make the argument but I would also say it's clearly (ethical)," Braynard said.
The Hatch Act Prohibits Federal Employees from Engaging in Political Activities while on Official Duty, making it Illegal for any Federal Officials in the Group to use Government Resources or Invoke their Government Titles. The Federal Officials Working for the Group are on Leave from their Federal Government Jobs, according to Braynard.
"None of them are here because they work in the Trump administration. They're all here because I worked with them on the campaign and they happened to get jobs in the administration," Braynard said of the Team who worked Together on Trump's 2016 Campaign.
Still, the Officials are on a Potentially Slippery Slope. "All it would take is a slip of a few words," Nick Schwellenbach, a Senior Investigator at the Nonprofit Watchdog Group Project on Government Oversight and an Obama-era Spokesman for the Office of Special Counsel said. "Even if they stay on the right side of the law, they could be treading in dangerous territory."
For his part, Sandoval said he has No Concerns about any Potential Violations. "I'm volunteering as a data scientist, while on leave, to evaluate the data after Election Day and sharing the results for public scrutiny," Sandoval said.
Except for the President and Vice President, All Federal Civilian Executive Branch Employees are Covered by the Hatch Act, including Employees of the U.S. Postal Service. Even Part-Time Employees are Covered by the Act, and All Employees continue to be Covered while on Annual Leave, Sick Leave, Leave without Pay, or Furlough.
