Leah Hoopes The Delco Patriot

.In 2020 and 2021, we did not sit online repeating rumors. We investigated. We preserved evidence. We submitted formal disclosures under penalty of perjury. We provided sworn declarations to federal authorities. We testified publicly before the Pennsylvania Senate. We filed complaints, pursued public records, petitioned government officials, and published The Parallel Election in 2021 so the evidence, system vulnerabilities, witness accounts, and documented failures could not simply be erased or buried. We specifically raised concerns involving insider access, centralized election-management systems, removable media, third-party vendors, remote access, ballot preparation, chain of custody, electronic records, system logs, election databases, tabulation infrastructure, and the ability of individuals with privileged access to alter, conceal, transfer, overwrite, or manipulate election-related data. We raised those issues while government officials, media outlets, political operatives, and so-called experts dismissed the entire subject as “misinformation” and attacked the people demanding an investigation. These were not casual accusations. I personally signed disclosures under penalty of perjury. That means I placed my name, credibility, liberty, and legal exposure behind the facts I reported. I did not hide behind anonymous sources. I did not rely on government talking points. I identified what I witnessed, what was documented, what records existed, what systems were vulnerable, and what government officials had a legal duty to investigate. The newly declassified National Intelligence Council and CIA materials now identify the same categories of risk we were warning about years ago: insider threats during voting-machine preparation; vulnerabilities in centralized election-data repositories; Internet-connected systems used in ballot preparation; inadequate password and encryption controls; third-party vendor and supply-chain exposure; malware introduced during machine configuration; vulnerabilities affecting voter-registration databases and electronic pollbooks; physical access capable of altering machine functions or installing malicious software; manipulation of electronic records, hash files, virtual-machine data, and centrally counted results; attacks against result-transmission and public-reporting systems; and cyber operations capable of delaying results, creating uncertainty, and undermining public confidence. That is the point. We were not demanding that government officials accept our conclusions without investigation. We were demanding that they perform their constitutional and statutory duties: preserve the evidence, examine the machines and systems, secure the records, investigate insider access, obtain communications, review vendor relationships, inspect logs, trace removable media, audit the election-management system, and answer sworn allegations submitted by citizens under penalty of perjury. Instead, the government dismissed us, defamed us, withheld records, resisted transparency, and used litigation and public resources against the people who petitioned for redress. The declassified documents do not create the issues we raised. They confirm that the federal intelligence community had already assessed these vulnerabilities as real, serious, technically feasible, and worthy of classified analysis. We identified those same vulnerabilities publicly, documented them, testified about them, published them, and placed them before government agencies years before these records were released. We did exactly what citizens are supposed to do in a constitutional republic: investigate misconduct, preserve evidence, swear to the truth of our disclosures, testify, publish, and petition the government. The government’s response was not investigation. It was suppression, retaliation, ridicule, concealment, and lawfare. The record now speaks for itself.

Today I served Delaware County with a formal Litigation Preservation Notice. Every email. Every text. Every Teams message. Every backup. Every server log. Every phone record. Every metadata trail. No excuses. No "routine deletion." No missing records. The duty to preserve evidence has been triggered. The public deserves the truth, and the record will speak for itself. #DelawareCounty #Transparency #RightToKnow #CivilRights #Lawfare

Furthermore, Delaware County is already aware that I possess evidence raising serious questions regarding its prior redaction practices. In a previous Right-to-Know production, counsel for the County inadvertently produced an unredacted billing page that revealed the information previously withheld was not, in my view, protected by attorney-client privilege as represented. That production demonstrated that at least some redactions were not supported by the asserted privilege claim and calls into question the County's redaction methodology and representations made in subsequent RTKL responses. This evidence will be preserved and may be relied upon in future administrative and judicial proceedings concerning the County's compliance with the Right-to-Know Law. Please provide written confirmation that Delaware County has implemented a litigation hold and has instructed all custodians, departments, contractors, and third-party vendors to preserve all potentially relevant evidence. Given this history, Delaware County should reasonably anticipate that its search procedures, privilege determinations, redaction decisions, metadata, withheld attachments, billing records, and internal communications concerning these productions will be subject to discovery. Accordingly, those materials must be preserved in their original native format, including all associated metadata, audit logs, and version history. Delaware County is hereby placed on notice that the destruction, alteration, deletion, overwriting, replacement, migration, or failure to preserve potentially relevant evidence after litigation became reasonably foreseeable may subject the County and responsible individuals to sanctions under the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure and the inherent authority of the courts. The County is further reminded of its obligations under the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law, including 65 P.S. §§ 67.506, 67.901, and 67.902, and that any knowing alteration or destruction of public records may implicate 18 Pa.C.S. § 4911. Public officials are likewise reminded of their duties under the Public Official and Employee Ethics Act, 65 Pa.C.S. Chapter 11, and, where applicable, the criminal provisions governing official misconduct, including 18 Pa.C.S. § 5301. This email is supplemental to US certified mailing. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Govern yourselves accordingly.

My email and certified letter sent this morning to Delaware County PA. Dear Solicitor Awbrey, Please accept this correspondence as formal notice that Delaware County is under an immediate and continuing legal obligation to preserve all documents, electronically stored information ("ESI"), metadata, communications, system logs, backup media, and other potentially relevant evidence relating to my pending Right-to-Know Law requests, Office of Open Records appeals, and reasonably anticipated litigation. This obligation is neither new nor speculative. Delaware County has been a respondent in multiple Right-to-Know appeals filed by the undersigned, including: OOR Docket No. AP 2023-2757 OOR Docket No. AP 2024-0241 OOR Docket No. AP 2024-1191 OOR Docket No. AP 2026-2145 (currently pending) These matters establish a longstanding pattern of disputes concerning the County's compliance with the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law. Despite years of litigation, the County has repeatedly delayed production, provided inconsistent representations regarding the existence and volume of responsive records, failed to produce records on a rolling basis, failed to identify withheld attachments or metadata, and failed to provide any privilege or redaction log sufficient to permit meaningful review of withheld information. The County is further on notice that I have submitted reports concerning these matters to federal authorities. Accordingly, Delaware County should reasonably anticipate continued administrative review, civil litigation, and any other proceedings authorized by law. As County Solicitor, I request that you immediately implement a litigation hold directing all County departments, elected officials, employees, contractors, consultants, information technology personnel, third-party vendors, and any individual acting on the County's behalf to preserve all potentially relevant evidence, including but not limited to: Emails, attachments, calendars, text messages, Microsoft Teams messages, instant messages, and other electronic communications; Native electronic files and all associated metadata; Records identifying custodians, search methodologies, search terms, repositories searched, and documentation relating to my Right-to-Know requests; Records reflecting redactions, withheld documents, omitted attachments, withheld metadata, and privilege determinations; Server logs, audit logs, authentication logs, firewall logs, VPN logs, backup logs, security event logs, and system access records; Backup media, archived email, cloud storage, disaster recovery images, snapshots, forensic images, and other recoverable electronically stored information; Records relating to the County's reported cyber incident, including forensic reports, incident response materials, restoration efforts, server replacements, backup restoration, communications regarding preservation or loss of electronically stored information, and all communications with outside vendors or consultants concerning those matters. The County's reported cyber incident only heightens its preservation obligations. Any destruction, deletion, overwriting, alteration, migration, restoration without preservation, or failure to preserve potentially relevant evidence after receipt of this notice may constitute spoliation of evidence and may be presented to the appropriate tribunal in support of requests for sanctions, adverse evidentiary inferences, and any other relief authorized by law. Please also preserve all communications concerning my pending Office of Open Records appeals, including discussions relating to extension requests, production schedules, record searches, redactions, exemptions asserted, and internal deliberations concerning responsive records. Given the County's repeated requests for additional time based upon the alleged volume of records, I further request that no responsive records, backup media, metadata, or system logs be altered, deleted, replaced, or destroyed while these matters remain pending.

The deeper I dig, the more the same names keep appearing. Delaware County. Bucks County. The Amistad Law Project. UDTJ. Opioid settlement funds. Josh Shapiro's political allies. Different counties. Same questions. Pennsylvania families were promised opioid settlement money would go toward treatment, recovery, and prevention. Show us the grant agreements. Show us the expenditures. Show us the deliverables. Because "trust us" isn't transparency. Follow the money. https://open.substack.com/pub/delcopatriot2020/p/follow-the-network-part-ii-when-opioid?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=24vfjx

The MAGA movement used to stand for one simple principle: Question everything. Somewhere along the way, that became: Don't question certain people because they're MAGA. That's not how truth works. Wearing a MAGA hat, speaking at conservative events, or building a large following doesn't make someone beyond scrutiny. If anything, those with influence deserve more scrutiny, not less. Every movement attracts opportunists, controlled opposition, chaos agents, grifters, and establishment figures who learn the language of the grassroots while serving entirely different interests. Blind loyalty is what we criticized in the establishment. We shouldn't replicate it ourselves. I don't care whether someone has an R, a D, or an America First label next to their name. If their words or actions don't line up, I'm going to ask questions. That's not disloyalty to MAGA. That's exactly what made the movement powerful in the first place. Independent thought. Healthy skepticism. Following the facts wherever they lead even when they're uncomfortable. If we're no longer willing to question our own side, then we've become the very thing we claimed to oppose. #MAGA

Less than 24 hours after I appeared on Emerald Robinson's show discussing Pennsylvania's energy transition, hydrogen development, and the dismantling and repurposing of traditional oil and natural gas infrastructure, a fire was reported at the Monroe Energy refinery in Trainer near Marcus Hook. The timing is noteworthy, but at this point there is no evidence that my interview and the refinery incident are related. What it does underscore is how significant—and vulnerable—this energy corridor remains as Pennsylvania undergoes major changes in its energy infrastructure. My focus remains on following the public records, the investment, the policy decisions, and the redevelopment plans that are reshaping the region.

They sued me. They investigated me. They tried to silence me. They thought I'd quit. Instead, I built a platform. I built a business. I built a record. I built a community.

On November 25, 2020, I testified before the Pennsylvania Senate Committee in Gettysburg regarding the 2020 election. Five days later, on November 30, 2020, the Pennsylvania Senate adopted Resolution 410, formally declaring Pennsylvania's presidential electors to be in dispute and urging Congress to investigate constitutional violations involving the election. On December 14, 2020, I took the place of Lawrence Tabas as a Pennsylvania Alternate Elector. That decision changed my life. In 2022, I became a target of Arctic Frost. Federal agents came to my home. My family was targeted. My name was dragged through the media. I was defamed, threatened, and financially damaged. Then came the lawfare. Three lawsuits. Two victories representing myself pro se. One lawsuit remains. Delaware County has now spent 1,045 days and untold taxpayer dollars pursuing litigation against me. The irony? The same people who called election concerns "baseless" conveniently forget there were legislative hearings, sworn testimony, court filings, congressional objections, and a formal Pennsylvania Senate Resolution declaring the electors in dispute. I didn't back down then. I haven't backed down now. And after six years, I still refuse to be intimidated into silence. https://electioncrimebureau.com/ic-io-05/ https://www.palegis.us/legislation/bills/text/PDF/2019/0/SR0410/PN2133

I normally don't ask for much, but today I'm asking for prayers. For nearly three years—1,045 days—I have been fighting a lawsuit filed against me by Delaware County. It has cost me financially, professionally, emotionally, and personally. My family has lived through the stress, uncertainty, public attacks, and constant pressure that comes with being dragged through litigation. Today, I learned there may finally be a path toward resolution. I don't know what happens next. What I do know is that God has carried me through every attack, every lawsuit, every threat, every lie, and every attempt to break my spirit. Please pray for wisdom, discernment, truth, justice, and peace as decisions are made in the coming days. Pray that the right doors open and the wrong doors close. Pray that whatever happens, it brings an end to a chapter that has consumed so much of my life and allows me to move forward with purpose. Thank you to everyone who has stood by me, prayed for me, encouraged me, and refused to let me walk this road alone. God is good. Always.

Remember James Allen the implant from Cook County Chicago, who came to Delaware County PA in 2021. He became the Elections Director , he wass tied to Noah Praetz. And we caught him in our sting operation involving election fraud in 2020. Delaware County PA still suing (lawfare) me and Greg Stenstrom for exercising our 1st Amendment (petitioning, speaking) . Well my dear friend Robert Mancini caught the County still violating the law . James Allen admitting to yet again election security violations.

Today is Flag Day and the Army's birthday It is also my 45th birthday. I share this day with President Donald J. Trump, and whether people agree with my politics or not, I have never hidden where I stand or what I have been willing to sacrifice for this country most importantly for my son's future . Challenged election processes through the courts, using the legal avenues available to every American. Served as an Alternate Elector for President Trump. Endured investigations, intimidation, censorship, threats, and relentless lawfare for exercising my constitutional rights. Represented myself in court and fought back against those who sought to silence dissent. Continued to investigate, expose misconduct, and help others navigate legal and governmental systems despite the personal cost.Flag Day is a reminder that the American flag does not belong to any political party, institution, or government official. It belongs to We the People.
