Debunked?: An auditor reviews the 2020 election―and the lessons learned Paperback – January 16, 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
On one side there are claims of a “stolen” election, foreign infiltration of election equipment, middle-of-the-night ballot dumps, and impossible mathematical anomalies. On the other side, everything is dismissed as “baseless,” “debunked,” and “conspiratorial.”
This controversy goes directly to the integrity of our vote, a topic that should interest and concern us all. Yet despite the importance of this controversy, very little objective analysis is available, and there is a reason. Some people are afraid to touch this subject. A careless comment could cause the loss of friends, business, and even employment.
Debunked? fearlessly fills this void—with facts. Written by a veteran auditor, it provides a reasoned, in-depth examination of the many controversies in the election, including:
- Dominion Voting Systems
- The “Kraken” lawsuits
- Missing signature standards
- Mike Lindell
- Drop boxes
- Cyber irregularities
- Mail-in ballots
- Ballot harvesting
- Illegal certifications
- Noncitizen voting
Without a doubt, the most controversial section of the book is the detailed and quantified analysis of the election in each of 6 swing states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. For each of those states, the decision to certify the election is given a thumbs up—or down. Conclusions are fully supported.
The sanctity of our vote could easily be considered the key footing in the foundation of our democracy. But, given the extreme censorship of this subject, the public is largely unaware of the issues in this book. Reading it provides important insights into one of the key controversies of our age and should, perhaps, encourage us all to demand that our votes are considered sacrosanct.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2023I just finished reading this entire book including the appendices.
It is fantastic and should be made into a 2hr documentary for American’s who don’t have time to read.
I’ve already read dozens of articles about the 2020 election fraud and would estimate that I was aware of about 40% of what I read in this book. For me, it combined the knowledge of those articles into one place and then filled in a bunch of gaps. The author, a certified public accountant, explains how an independent audit is performed and then discusses the 2020 election irregularities in general. He follows up with a deep dive into election irregularities that occurred in each swing state: AZ, GA, MI, NV, PA and WI. I found myself repeating the word “unbelievable” over and over again. I’ve dog-eared dozens of pages. After covering the swing states, the author addresses Mike Lindell, Douglas Frank, Patrick Colbeck, Dominion, the “fact checking” media, Christopher Krebs, and William Barr. The author also does a great job addressing the misleading and dishonest claim that Trump lost nearly 60 election fights in court. The author ends with a humorous chapter on how to achieve a Journalism PhD. This book is an excellent reference book that you can use to counter your uninformed friends who parrot the claim that the 2020 election was “the most secure in American history”. Have them read pages 10, 11 and 68. If that doesn’t pique their curiosity, nothing will. The book is an easy read and written in a colloquial style. It's fully documented with footnotes and links. It validated my observations about the 2020 election… which I would like to state here, but won’t because I don’t want my review to be taken down.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2023I think the overall format was well organized, and the issues were clearly articulated. His usage of sarcasm, in my opinion, takes a little away from trying to present an unbiased, audit-worthy result. But it is minimal, and easy to set aside if you want to focus on facts as much as possible.
A few loose ends that I hope he will tie up in future printings, or on his website. A good read overall.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2023With 40 years experience as a CPA conducting and reviewing corporate audits, this guy knows how to detect fraud. He is not a sensantionalist, but the irregularities he discovered are truly sensational, not to mentioning deeply disturbing.
The problem starts with outdated voter rolls with many voters listed who have long since moved away or died. Despite laws that require them to do so, the Democrats refuse to clean up those voter rolls, and they also fight tooth and nail against voter ID laws. The net effect is that anyone can go and vote for anyone else, dead or alive, with no fear of getting caught.
That was bad enough, but with COVID it has gotten much worse. Many Democrat-controlled states now automatically mail out ballots to everyone on the rolls, whether they requested it or not. The result is ballots everywhere, many not retrieved by the actual voter they were intended for. Add to that the widespread legalization of ballot harvesting and the failure to do real signature checks, and it is a prescription for wholesale voting fraud.
But that's just the start of it. This book is loaded with all kinds of other massive irregularities, particularly in the swing states. Those irregularities dwarf Bidens margin of victory in most of the swing states, and the certification of the election was a sham.
The courts have largely rejected any challenges based on standing or other technicalities rather than the underlying issues, but the media distorts it to mislead people into thinking the courts have rejected the claims of election fraud. In the vast majority of cases, they have done no such thing.
If we don't figure how to stop the wholesale election fraud, democracy as we know it is in serious jeopardy.
Unfortunately, the kindle version of this book was badly formatted (with many section headers at the bottom of the page, for example), so I recommend getting the hardcopy even though it is more expensive. This book is well worth reading, but unfortunately it is not yet getting anywhere near the attention it deserves.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2024Great unbiased information.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2024The author doesn't embrace unsubstantiated conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. For example, there have been accusations that local voting officials shredded ballots. Fried quotes the officials who claim they were shredding outdated material unrelated to the 2020 election.
The fact that he didn't buy into every claim gives the book more credibility.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2023I like the extensive Table of Contents.
but
I don't see mention of Ruby Freeman....... You know, the GA election worker caught on camera scanning ballots 3 times. Biden gave her a medal, and the craziest part is, "she accepted it".
- Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2023The author methodically goes through the claims and issues that surrounded the most contested election of our time. It raises serious questions and speak openly and honestly about the numerous issues. The book is an easy read, although, I would say that if you work in Finance or Accounting you may have an even greater appreciation for it.
The author doesn't delve into the legal challenges (why should he, he isn't a lawyer) - he does take it from an auditor's point of view. Something I appreciate having worked in Finance at large public companies.
If you care about our union and what the constitution stands for then you should be able to read this and understand the amount of issues that came up across states was more than just "coincidence." The lengths that entities went through to block audits is mind numbing and very concerning.

cnagappaReviewed in Canada on September 21, 20245.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, well researched, fully referenced and indexed book on the 2020 election
In addition to the title of this review I would like to add that it is very well written, such that it holds your interest throughout. It covers the anomalies that were observed, with focus on the swing states. It also covers a range of topics, from the highly questionable and irregular laws that were hastily passed under the cover of Covid, to remote drop boxes, mail in ballots, ballot harvesting, lack of signature verification and so on. Mr Fried also goes into the various claims and theories, like those made by people such as Mike Lindell and Sidney Powell, the various lawsuits by Trump and the GOP, the audits by third-parties and the road blocks and threats by lawmakers to prevent people from looking too deep. I can highly recommend this book to those interested in election integrity, which is one of the main corner stones of Democracy.
