I also await any proof Spoonamore, or the other experts that are sounding the alarm, to post their proof.

I know I did my job to secure our elections against bad actors in the major elections 2016, 2018, 2020. And during the minor elections in the off years. My former co-workers do the same, past and present. I spoke with a former co-worker about 2022 and 2024, and she retired before the 2024 general election. She stated nothing major has changed since I worked there.

I Implore you to read my other replies I made to you Friday night, outside that, I don't understand why you are focusing me quoting Spoonamore's statement about being a republicans in his letter to Harris/Walz.

It would seem that NJCher Nov 16 #12

Ok. Thanks! Kaleva Nov 16 #13

You don't need to call an elections office to know that it's false FBaggins Nov 17 #46

Yes! We definitely need to confirm there is nothing wrong there! Think. Again. Nov 17 #27

True. Verifying Spoonamore's info is important Kaleva Nov 17 #45

Absolutely, the allegations in the first letter from the cybersecurity expert group must be carefully investigated also Think. Again. Nov 17 #47

His numbers just don't add up Zeitghost Nov 16 #18

Good point! Yet another reason to verify all this through recounts! Think. Again. Nov 17 #28

He doesn't need to FBaggins Nov 17 #25

Provide links NJCher Nov 17 #26

What an ironic response FBaggins Nov 17 #31

You're calling NJCher Nov 17 #33

Sure. Or "entirely fabricated/unsubstantiated claims outside of reality " FBaggins Nov 17 #38

Oh, you mean like any allegation of a crime having been committed? Would those be woo's? Think. Again. Nov 17 #48

Any allegation? No FBaggins Nov 17 #50

You must stay very busy deciding all those 911 calls. Think. Again. Nov 17 #52

Spoonamore claims to be a republican in the Nov-15-24 letter that is circulating. DiamondShark Nov 17 #37

As I addressed FBaggins Nov 17 #40

I'm a slow typer it seems. DiamondShark Nov 17 #41

You mean like Liz Cheney? Think. Again. Nov 17 #49

What about Liz Cheney? I don't follow. DiamondShark Nov 17 #68

Doesn't she say she's a republican too? Think. Again. Nov 17 #71

Oh, I thought Liz Cheney was doing something important and I missed it. DiamondShark Nov 17 #77

Paper ballots are tabulated by digital machines. Think. Again. Nov 17 #83

I implore you to come work at any County Election Department... DiamondShark Nov 17 #84

If I do, will that make all the digitized tabulation machines disappear or something? Think. Again. Nov 17 #85

You would learn how we public workers secure our elections against bad actors. DiamondShark Nov 17 #86

And I can teach what I do also.... Think. Again. Nov 17 #87

I concede the argument. DiamondShark Nov 17 #88

Michigan, controlled by Dems, prohibits hand counting of ballots Kaleva Nov 16 #10

the idea that 'hand counting' ballots is more accurate than by machine stopdiggin Nov 16 #19

It's about the transparency questionseverything Nov 17 #21

I'm not real sold on the 'transparancy' argument either stopdiggin Nov 17 #24

The obvious idea is that using 2 different processes to count the same numbers will expose discrepencies. Think. Again. Nov 17 #32

which is where hand count 'audits' come into play stopdiggin Nov 17 #57

Correct, discrepencies discovered during audits would then prompt full recounts to arrive at true results. Think. Again. Nov 17 #58

which is pretty much the system we have in place today ? stopdiggin Nov 17 #60

Except that "non-binding" audits would not necessarily lead to recounts if a candidate doesn't request that... Think. Again. Nov 17 #63

total recounts are arduous and expensive stopdiggin Nov 17 #67

Democracy is arduous and expensive? Think. Again. Nov 17 #70

how profound ! stopdiggin Nov 17 #75
