When Reddit is actually interested in asking the obvious questions . . .

It'll be interesting to see what he chooses to answer.

Give false hope to Harris voters that the election was stolen and could be overturned, thereby avoiding the painful grief of a lost election and second Trump term, while simultaneously driving clicks and ad revenue to himself.

Perish the thought.

Apparently the push to get his "information" to VP Harris was met with anger by her staffers.

L.O.L.

Can you imagine? She just lost a brutal election. They just want what peace they can find so they can soldier on to what's next. But oh no, here come the Internet loons whipping up a crowd.

By the end of this, this will all somehow be Harris' fault. The guy is already laying the groundwork for, "I'm right, but Harris is blocking us from revealing the real truth!"

Oh, bank on it.

Doesn’t pass the sniff tes

He may know something about computer security… but he clearly does not understand election security or standard processes.

Why so many security experts are signing on to the nonsense? THIS is so confusing to me.

9. So many "security experts"?
Sun Nov 17, 2024, 11:32 AM
Nov 2024

How many? Who? Were they known as “security experts” before the election?

Enough for the story to get picked up by CNN?

Certainly not enough to get Harris to withdraw her concession and file court challenges, which is all that matters here in the reality based community.

Is Bullshit. Then i see all these so called security people's names signing that letter in the original article. I do 100% trust Marc here just for the record, but that LETTER gave me hope that something stinks to high heaven. The NC. numbers thing didn't match at all, so there's that problem. I see that plain as day, sso why don't these so called security people see that? Thanks for all you do to try to clear our minds here. Nice knowing there are members here that KNOW things we don't. THAT NC numbers thing is the icing on the cake for ME!

Rather - there are uncounted actual experts like Elias (who would make bank if there was the slightest chance that this was reality) saying we clearly lost

There are millions of us still grasping for some faint hope that it didn’t really happen.

Just hope that we recover from the temporary insanity prior to January 6th

I hope I'm wrong. He's generous with his time, but if I had something like this I would probably initially be a little bit quiet and meet directly with the Department of Justice or F.B.I. or some local Attorney General, or get a shitload of lawyers involved. I dunno. I doubt I'd be on Reddit and Thom Hartmann (nothing against Thom). Only if everything else failed would I be doing a social media tour.

18. Some concerns.
Sun Nov 17, 2024, 02:09 PM
Nov 2024

Reasons I can't simply dismiss rigged election suspicions:

1. Gang of crooks since Watergate (basically attempted election rigging) to include 1980 Iran hostage deal, Iran–Contra, Reagan admin's record scandals, GWB WMD bullshit to start a war, TSF endless bullshit, etc.

2. Cyber Ninjas spent quite a while after 2020 election "examining" election system in AZ. Maybe others at state level? Did they learn anything?

3. MAGAt "royalty" includes some tech bros with access to skilled programmers, some of whom would likely be more than happy to help.

4. Almost four years since J6 insurrection to collaborate, experiment, test, hack, install rigging systems.

About data, evidence, sourcing, and methodology.

Instead, he's just going on about vague political sentiments and generalized statements about elections.

This AMA isn't about shoring up claims. It's about getting true believers to buy further in.

All the surprised people, raise your hands.
