ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this powerful episode of SYNC-O-WICZ, Linda sits down with Ana M. Díaz and Debbie Faris for an in-depth conversation on election integrity, electoral fraud, and the global lessons Americans need to understand now.Ana M. Díaz is a Venezuelan attorney with advanced studies in Administrative Law and more than 45 years of experience defending democracy and its institutions. She served as a Director of Venezuela’s National Elections Council until she was forced out for refusing to participate in the 2004 referendum fraud, losing nearly two decades of her public service pension just months before retirement. Since then, Ana has provided technical and legal counsel on electoral processes across Honduras, Guatemala, Spain, Colombia, and Ecuador, and is widely recognized as an international authority on voting system oversight and the protection of sovereign will. She is also the author of a groundbreaking technical doctrine on electoral fraud, redefining subversion as legal and procedural omissions occurring before, during, and after elections. Her books, including Debemos Cobrar (We Must Collect) and 72 Hours in Ecuador, document firsthand experiences from critical moments in recent political history.Debbie Faris — known to readers as Praying Mantis — is a naturalized American citizen, election integrity advocate, and widely read Substack writer. With an MBA and a career as a former Fortune 500 executive, Debbie brings firsthand insight shaped by years living in Panama, Venezuela, and Mexico, offering a rare perspective on how socialist systems and election subversion take hold — and how citizens can push back. Debbie played a direct role in crafting Florida’s landmark election integrity law (SB 524) and continues to lead grassroots accountability efforts nationwide. Her work is read in all 50 states and 57 countries. She is also the author of Beyond the Breakpoint, a faith-based story of loss, resilience, and restoration.
