I assume they are still trying to figure out what the situation actually is, and on top of that, a lot of the initial audits that various states are doing are not completed yet so no action can begin yet, I know that North Carolina has already announced their audits will not be complete by the deadline.

Hopefully, when they do know exactly what is happening and what is the best way to proceed, they will also let the public know, but until then, so far, silence.

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
