A video exclusively obtained by The Federalist purports to show poll workers in Pennsylvania during the 2020 election talking about ways to hide “derogatory” information from the public about how the election was managed.
According to The Federalist’s Margot Cleveland, the video was taken by a whistleblower and features election workers from Delaware County, Pa., adding it represents “further evidence of fraud undertaken to conceal the widespread violations of Pennsylvania election law that occurred during last year’s presidential election, according to a source familiar with the recording.”
Cleveland adds:
The video, surreptitiously recorded by whistleblower Regina Miller, is one of many Miller took while working as a contract employee for the county. Miller began secretly recording the behind-the-scenes conduct after witnessing concerning behavior by several election officials, a person with knowledge of a lawsuit filed last month against county election officials, based in part on the recordings, told The Federalist.

In that lawsuit, Delaware County residents Ruth Moton, Leah Hoopes, and Gregory Stenstrom, as well as the Friends of Ruth Moton campaign, alleged former Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, Delaware County, the Delaware County Board of Elections, and more than a dozen individual election officials destroyed election records and conspired to do so, to hide violations of election law.
The lawsuit alleges a number of violations of election law, including a failure on the part of defendants to reconcile votes after polls closed, which is required by state election codes.
But unlike other suits that followed the November 2020 election alleging violations of the U.S. Constitution and state election laws, Moton v. Boockvar focuses on defendants’ alleged efforts to fraudulently cover up the purported violations, Cleveland notes.
“In fact, four of the five counts set forth in the court filing were premised on Pennsylvania’s civil law of fraud and misrepresentation,” she added.
“The fraud and misrepresentation, according to the petition, involved the defendants’ alleged destruction of evidence and their purported representation of compliance with a May 21, 2021 Right to Know Request filed with Delaware County,” Cleveland wrote.
“That request, according to sources with knowledge of the lawsuit, sought documentation from the county to confirm the November 2020 election results that were certified,” says Cleveland’s report.
The suit claims that the Right to Knew request specifically sought the “final certified return sheets from the November 3, 2020, general election” for all precincts in Delaware County, as well as the attached tapes from voting machines.
The request also sought “any additional notes written on the back of the return sheet, as well as any attached notes that are related to each return sheet,” which Cleveland described as “significant.”
Cleveland went on to describe what the video shows:
The latest video obtained by The Federalist appears filmed soon after the Right to Know request, displaying a June 3, 2021 date. The recording shows two men identified by a source close to the matter as Delaware County election official James Ziegelhoffer and Delaware County lawyer Tom Gallagher.
The video captures the duo flipping through a box marked November 2020 “return sheets,” with the individual identified to The Federalist as Gallagher saying: “When we Xerox these return sheets there are notes on these return sheets and we are going to have to cover them over with paper. Somebody wrote on there ‘this is an outrageous example.”

The man identified by sources as Ziegelhoffer, whom county records show held the position of “Judge of Election” for the Western Precinct in the Media Borough, is heard on the recording saying, “So, like, any derogatory or whatever.”
“Right,” says a more senior election official before adding that “most of the stuff is written on the back so we’re alright.”
Cleveland goes on to add: “The latest video appears filmed in the same room as another video obtained last month by The Federalist. That video depicts the man identified by sources as Gallager tearing up tapes from the voting machines and tossing them in a garbage can.”
