An accuracy alert was placed on first post, but he’s been researched and he is who he says he is.
He gives a very plausible reason why the vote looks like it does. It’s worth a look.
I think recounts are definitely in order.
And check your ballots if you didn’t vote in person , y’all.

Right now is the time to test his theory. He suggests finding precincts with whacked out inexplicable or excess vote shifts and request they be recounted. It’s not necessary to do an entire recount but a limited targeted one that can yield a meaningful statistical sample. Call it quality control which is what is routinely done in testing mass produced products. I think it’s worth it, and the money in the recount fund can finance it. At least it would produce meaningful evidence one way or the other.

If something "wrong" happened, the people deserve to know even if that "wrong" can not be "righted". But you should never assume anything, if evidence points to something being wrong, I sure as hell want it investigated. If wrongdoing is then proven, we deal with that when it happens. Never, unilaterally disarm and give up without a fight.

I trust that Rethuglicans cheated because that's what they do. The math does not make any sense given the huge number of newly registered young voters who largely supported Kamala. I hope she is putting on her prosecutor's hat and doing a deep dive into what really happened. Some think she set a trap for Shitler and he walked right into it. Both he and Eloon were making some very strange comments in the days leading up to the election, and it was called way TF too soon.

No one is even going to investigate this afaik. Some states are challenging and trying to have provisional and other ballots- mail in and recounted and I guess compared to the digital trail or whatever. However, that has already been blocked or attempted to be blocked by R in one state.

I saw I believe 3 voters say their mail in ballots were not counted who posted on twitter, that doesn’t mean there aren’t more of course, but those are the only ones that I saw. But I get certain things in my feed so I probably would not get a lot of that, but if you search, you may find more.

However, I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do really. I don’t have any power in the party and I can’t donate to them and I wouldn’t even if I were able due to various things they have done which have affected me and my family severely. For nine years I watched while they meaning not just dems failed in every way to stop him and kept denying what he is- now they’re doing it all over again. I am hoping for divine intervention to get justice. If I somehow became a billionaire that situation would change probably because I could then try to change the face of the party. Of course that is never going to happen.

So I intend as much as possible to enjoy each day of whatever is left of my life and try not to focus my thoughts on the severe trauma that has happened to me from all of this and that I now have to be tortured all over again

if there is a recount, I’ll be happy about it but it’s going to have to be someone said elsewhere digital forensic recount, not just recounting of ballots, etc. any evidence may already have been destroyed. If there was major fraud, we know there’s always some type of fraud in each election. If you don’t, you must be living under a rock or very gullible.


Anyway, I’m beyond putting too much my emotional energy into this. I’m not doing any marches or anything like that but good luck to you and everybody else… I hope you can actually get a result.


I don’t think the requirements for a recount have even been met although some have been done in some states, but there are as I said somewhere already trying to block it successfully I think in state in court. After he gets in and I believe he will, he’s going to make sure that every judge in the country that he can get rid of who doesn’t bow down to him will be replaced with a loyalist.

We haven’t had a Republican as President who hasn’t cheated or has been the legacy of cheating
since since Dwight Eisenhower. Nixon in 1968 told both the North and South Vietnamese to not
sign the deal that was on the table from LBJ because he would get them a better deal only to wait
to sign the exact same deal in January of ‘73 which made the war go on another 4+ years costing
millions of lives needlessly.

Btw as a kid in a middle class neighborhood in N.W. PA our next door neighbor’s brother was
Ray Shafer the Governor of PA and he was as fine of a man you would ever meet and a republican
too. For some reason he liked to talk to me when I was fishing in the lake behind our houses and play
ball with the kids too. The days of good republicans is long gone.

I keep saying Donald Trump is the worst puppet ever. He always blows it so he can appear to be the guy who knows it all. Every. Single. Time.

And you know what else? As soon as the election was called for him, I said yeah, watch. This will be another effing blowhard scam of his.

But they needed a puppet and he was the only one they had, so here ya' go.

People, ask yourselves this question. Which one of these is most likely to be true?

--Democrats are conspiracy nutcases who can't accept a loss.

or

--Donald Trump just did the first honest thing in his life.

Which one is most likely to be true?

if I read that right.

Trump being honest--about anything--is so laughable,

and

Democrats being nutcase conspiracy theorists is debatable at times. For the most part, I think Democrats are the "smart, sensible party",
who can come up with smart, sensible resolutions when they are clear-headed and do a thorough, diligent, investigation of the purported evidence.

What I know to be true right now, is this election sucks and we need to be diligent with everything.

Sun Nov 10, 2024, 07:49 AM
Nov 10

There are almost double the number of register Rs than Ds and the Independents and NPAs lean right. It's a solidly red area and has been for quite a while.

It was never not going to favor Trump.

However.

Enough of those registered Rs are registered that way because we have a closed primary in Florida and the Ds rarely have primary races of any interest or that matters more than trying to get a more moderate R come the general election.

Perfect place to commit election fraud undetected. Quite a few similar areas of FL, just the one I am most familiar with.

Folks, the Ds were the most organized, energized, and numerically supported in visible and financial ways than I have seen in 20 years.

I met more never Trumper Rs and D converts in the last 3 months than I have in 8 years. They weren't lying to me.

Do I think fraud happened? I honestly don't know. Just saying that if someone was looking for evidence, this county fits his criteria to a T!

But will never happen because there is no cause. Florida wasn't perceived as a swing state and the results aren't close.

However, if and I do mean IF, it happened in swing states, I would bet it happened here too. Friendly officials at all levels and his ego would never allow Florida to even be close.

Last edited Sun Nov 10, 2024, 05:25 PM - Edit history (2)

Summary of what may have happened: Trump is a Russian asset working for Putin (see American Kompromat by journalist Craig Unger or Active Measures documentary with Hillary Clinton). Trump stole election software in 2020 (see below). Starlink, Elon's satellite company was installed in voting tabulation machines across the country. In September, Politco had an investigation finding Russian malware on a state voter registration database. Also there were malicious fake texts and fake DNC organizations likely fishing voter info. Elon and Trump are working together. Elon had results of election on an app 4 hours before official counts had it. They will release more info admitting their fraud because they are a Russian asset trying to start a civil war here (speculation).

Also speculation, but please do your own citizen journalism, are reports of widespread ballot rejection, especially for signatures. There are articles claiming already that it is because GenZ does not know cursive - except the signature simply must match your driver's license. It's not a cursive writing test.
https://fortune.com/2024/11/07/gen-z-voters-basic-skill-signing-names-vote-counting-chaos-election-official/

https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-voters-struggle-signatures-cast-mail-ballot-problems-2024-11

Imo Russia did a 3 pronged attack: ballot signature denials for younger leftists, especially college students; tabulation manipulation; and text fishing which especially impacted 45-65 year olds who aren't as internet scam savvy but still have access to phones and use them.

Preliminary Results Indicates Suspicion of Yet Another Republican Stolen Election Via Voting Machines Via 6.6 Point Anomaly; Evidence of Republican Election Theft in Prior Elections

Introduction: My conclusion as of 1:40 AM November 10, 2024 is that the “12 million Democrats stayed home” theory is demonstrably false.

If that’s true then the only possible conclusion is that there was massive Republican election fraud via voting machines in this election. I conclude that Kamala Harris won the popular vote.
