Meet the 'Ghost' Woman Fox Relied on for Voter Fraud Claims

A voting machine company’s $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News has rocked the conservative media giant, exposing rifts between its journalists and the star hosts and executives more concerned with mollifying pro-Trump viewers than accurately reporting that the 2020 election wasn’t stolen.

But the strangest revelation so far from the Dominion Voting Systems case against the cable channel may be the alleged source of the voter-fraud claims that sparked the lawsuit: a single email from a previously unknown woman who was convinced, among other things, that late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was murdered while being hunted for sport.

“My point of view sometimes is so far outside the box it’s not even on the same playing field, it’s not even on the same planet,” she said.

For example, Bourne got the idea that Scalia was murdered in a human-hunt because it just made logical sense from what she had seen from watching movies and television.

“What’s one way to get rid of a Supreme Court justice in order to get the kind of people that you want on it?” Bourne said. “Hunting.”

Bourne admitted in her email to Powell that her ideas were “pretty wackadoodle.”

But less than an hour after receiving the email, Powell had ignored the many red-flags the email contained about Bourne’s credibility and forwarded it to Bartiromo.

Three minutes later, Bartiromo forwarded Bourne’s theories to her producer and replied to Powell, saying the lawyer had provided Fox with “very imp[ortant] info.”

The next day, Fox aired a pre-taped interview with Bartiromo and Powell on Bartiromo’s show, Sunday Morning Futures. The segment appears to be based in large part on Bourne’s email—in Bartiromo’s deposition, she was unable to point to another source for Powell’s ideas.

The Nov. 8 segment on Bartiromo’s show echoed a number of claims made in Bourne’s email. Powell said Dominion software “used an algorithm to calculate the votes they would need to flip,” converting Trump votes into Biden votes.
