I think that's the famous last line of the poem. --And apropos to what we're trying to do!

Mail Biden, Harris/campaign to ask for recounts in swing states re Spoonamore etc. [View all] David Boyle Nov 16 OP

Here is a working non-paywall link to the article referred to above... Think. Again. Nov 16 #1

Thanks so much! David Boyle Nov 16 #2

And here is a copied version of the Spoonamore letter referred to above.. Think. Again. Nov 16 #3

Thanks very much again, Think. Again. David Boyle Nov 16 #4

You should bold the part where he claims to be a republican. DiamondShark Nov 17 #73

Nah, the priority is on assuring the counts are correct. And rightfully so. Think. Again. Nov 17 #74

And here is the text of the CyberSecurity Experts letter to Harris... Think. Again. Nov 16 #5

Dang, you're good! David Boyle Nov 16 #6

I believe this stuff is extremely important... Think. Again. Nov 16 #7

Yeah, more could've been done maybe David Boyle Nov 16 #8

And recounts done after the election was closed showed that Gore actually did win legitimately. Think. Again. Nov 16 #9

Thanks to the Supreme Court etc. David Boyle Nov 16 #10

Clarifying: NO thanks to the Supreme Court David Boyle Nov 16 #11

In any case, we should have learned the lesson that any election results must be vigorously verified. Think. Again. Nov 16 #12

I hope people at DU are learning it... David Boyle Nov 16 #14

I agree with you. XarmyGal Nov 16 #46

Sounds like an Army thing too David Boyle Nov 16 #57

How does Spoonamore explain the actual numbers? onenote Nov 16 #13

Yes, apparently Spoonamore has started doing some media... Think. Again. Nov 16 #15

He has a great name, by the way David Boyle Nov 16 #17

I got 20 dollas in my pocket.... Think. Again. Nov 16 #18

"Thrift Shop", heh David Boyle Nov 16 #21

I'll be interested to see what you find. onenote Nov 16 #20

Me too David Boyle Nov 16 #22

Here it is, Buell (from the tirst letter) not Spoonamore... Think. Again. Nov 16 #33

Another DUer mentioned he did an interview today ... Think. Again. Nov 16 #24

Brad Pitt? David Boyle Nov 16 #27

Here it is, Buell, not Spoonamore (my apologies)... Think. Again. Nov 16 #30

Bueller! Bueller! (heh - kidding) David Boyle Nov 16 #34

Other than noting that the bullet ballot issue has been raised, there is nothing substantiating it onenote Nov 17 #76

Correct, audits and recounts must be done to compare the first-count numbers... Think. Again. Nov 17 #77

Recounts are harmless, at worst David Boyle Nov 17 #83

Exactly my thought, especially with public trust in the election system at such extreme risk right now. Think. Again. Nov 17 #85

Maybe people'll are retreating into a virtual world instead of politics David Boyle Nov 17 #87

Superfluous " 'll " David Boyle Nov 17 #88

Ha! I've pretty much given up correcting my own typos at this point. Think. Again. Nov 17 #89

At least you have extra periods in your name David Boyle Nov 17 #90

I ws trying to be clever... Think. Again. Nov 17 #92

Therefore, you are. David Boyle Nov 17 #94

Good questions David Boyle Nov 16 #16

I don't think 350,000 votes for trump only and not for any other repub doesn't look more legit than a ballot onenote Nov 16 #19

Your grammar is confusing me a little, but I see what you mean David Boyle Nov 16 #23

I believe the total was +/- 600,000 spread among the swing states. Think. Again. Nov 16 #25

350,000 in NC alone. Leaving 250,000 spread among 6 other states. onenote Nov 16 #26

Okay, the figures sound a little odd David Boyle Nov 16 #28

NC uses paper ballots Abnredleg Nov 16 #29

You do know computerized voting machines use code to read paper ballots, right? Think. Again. Nov 16 #31

Correct, but NC does hand count audits in each county Abnredleg Nov 16 #36

Thanks; interesting David Boyle Nov 16 #38

Nope - life long Dem Abnredleg Nov 16 #41

I like it too David Boyle Nov 16 #47

Excellent! Let's hope our attorneys and watchers are keeping a close eye on this.... Think. Again. Nov 16 #39

Canvassing is complete Abnredleg Nov 16 #40

Unless there has been any discrepencies that would allow for a recount to be requested. Think. Again. Nov 16 #43

How do you silence the party witnesses? Abnredleg Nov 16 #51

Good points, though Buell et al. note that David Boyle Nov 17 #71

Voting equipment is not networked Abnredleg Nov 17 #72

That's comforting, actually David Boyle Nov 17 #75

Hmmm David Boyle Nov 16 #32

Oh, maybe reply 31 David Boyle Nov 16 #35

But reply #36 Abnredleg Nov 16 #37

And this website explains that NC audits are not required to be made public... Think. Again. Nov 16 #42

A ha! David Boyle Nov 16 #44

They post them to their website Abnredleg Nov 16 #45

Hope so David Boyle Nov 16 #49

Let's hope they do... Think. Again. Nov 16 #50

As pointed out, the 350,000 numer from NC is wrong Abnredleg Nov 16 #54

I have only seen reference to a +/-600,000 number spread among all the swing states. Think. Again. Nov 16 #56

There is another version of this letter on DU Abnredleg Nov 16 #58

There have actually been 2 letters sent to Harris... Think. Again. Nov 16 #59

"Double trouble" David Boyle Nov 16 #60

No. sorry but this is nonsense...... Takket Nov 16 #48

There is Duncan Buell etc. David Boyle Nov 16 #52

I find it hard to imagine why a true Democrat would be AGAINST... Think. Again. Nov 16 #53

Not sure how it'd hurt David Boyle Nov 16 #55

So Harris is not a true Dem? Abnredleg Nov 17 #79

You are erroneously speaking for them... Think. Again. Nov 17 #80

Maybe they should... David Boyle Nov 17 #82

I agree.... Think. Again. Nov 17 #84

"Silence of the Dems" David Boyle Nov 17 #86

I also emailed the Spoonamore letter to ten Democrats I know. Already generating some outrage! Took five minutes. If Doodley Nov 16 #61

Fabulous! David Boyle Nov 16 #62

Ty, for the links. Sent letfers to both Vice President Harris & President Biden. electric_blue68 Nov 16 #63

Thank you! David Boyle Nov 16 #64

YW. But I think you asked me about a quote -Ulysses, which I did share. No problem, just ask the right poster👍 electric_blue68 Nov 16 #65

"To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield" David Boyle Nov 16 #66

True that. And, yes, i do know the quote - but didn't know it was Ulysses electric_blue68 Nov 17 #67

Not to be confused with James Joyce's "Ulysses" David Boyle Nov 17 #68

Well, I wouldn't know enough about either... electric_blue68 Nov 17 #69

States charge significant amounts of money to conduct recounts MichMan Nov 17 #78
