99. And one more I see on my screen: "2024: Rigged Election or National Psychosis?"

"If Trump had found himself on the losing end last week — even without the red flags we’ve already identified — we would have seen Stop the Steal on Steroids. Instead, at best, we’ll have Stop the Steal on Quaaludes. Nobody is going to be storming the Capitol, and that’s a good thing.

But being forced to accept election results that just don’t add up, without any real transparency, with not so much as an official peek under the hood? That is not a good thing." ...

Vice President Harris, if you are by some chance listening, I hope you understand that committing to the peaceful transfer of power is not incompatible with using whatever legal means are provided to ensure that the election giving rise to that transfer was legitimate. [etc.]"

But we'll see what happens.

Yeah, more could've been done maybe David Boyle Nov 2024 #8
And recounts done after the election was closed showed that Gore actually did win legitimately. Think. Again. Nov 2024 #9
Thanks to the Supreme Court etc. David Boyle Nov 2024 #10
Clarifying: NO thanks to the Supreme Court David Boyle Nov 2024 #11
In any case, we should have learned the lesson that any election results must be vigorously verified. Think. Again. Nov 2024 #12
I hope people at DU are learning it... David Boyle Nov 2024 #14
I agree with you. XarmyGal Nov 2024 #46
Sounds like an Army thing too David Boyle Nov 2024 #57
How does Spoonamore explain the actual numbers? onenote Nov 2024 #13
Yes, apparently Spoonamore has started doing some media... Think. Again. Nov 2024 #15
He has a great name, by the way David Boyle Nov 2024 #17
I got 20 dollas in my pocket.... Think. Again. Nov 2024 #18
"Thrift Shop", heh David Boyle Nov 2024 #21
I'll be interested to see what you find. onenote Nov 2024 #20
Me too David Boyle Nov 2024 #22
Here it is, Buell (from the tirst letter) not Spoonamore... Think. Again. Nov 2024 #33
Another DUer mentioned he did an interview today ... Think. Again. Nov 2024 #24
Brad Pitt? David Boyle Nov 2024 #27
Here it is, Buell, not Spoonamore (my apologies)... Think. Again. Nov 2024 #30
Bueller! Bueller! (heh - kidding) David Boyle Nov 2024 #34
Other than noting that the bullet ballot issue has been raised, there is nothing substantiating it onenote Nov 2024 #76
Correct, audits and recounts must be done to compare the first-count numbers... Think. Again. Nov 2024 #77
Recounts are harmless, at worst David Boyle Nov 2024 #83
Exactly my thought, especially with public trust in the election system at such extreme risk right now. Think. Again. Nov 2024 #85
Maybe people'll are retreating into a virtual world instead of politics David Boyle Nov 2024 #87
Superfluous " 'll " David Boyle Nov 2024 #88
Ha! I've pretty much given up correcting my own typos at this point. Think. Again. Nov 2024 #89
At least you have extra periods in your name David Boyle Nov 2024 #90
I ws trying to be clever... Think. Again. Nov 2024 #92
Therefore, you are. David Boyle Nov 2024 #94
Good questions David Boyle Nov 2024 #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 2024 #19
Your grammar is confusing me a little, but I see what you mean David Boyle Nov 2024 #23
I believe the total was +/- 600,000 spread among the swing states. Think. Again. Nov 2024 #25
350,000 in NC alone. Leaving 250,000 spread among 6 other states. onenote Nov 2024 #26
Okay, the figures sound a little odd David Boyle Nov 2024 #28
NC uses paper ballots Abnredleg Nov 2024 #29
You do know computerized voting machines use code to read paper ballots, right? Think. Again. Nov 2024 #31
Correct, but NC does hand count audits in each county Abnredleg Nov 2024 #36
Thanks; interesting David Boyle Nov 2024 #38
Nope - life long Dem Abnredleg Nov 2024 #41
I like it too David Boyle Nov 2024 #47
Excellent! Let's hope our attorneys and watchers are keeping a close eye on this.... Think. Again. Nov 2024 #39
Canvassing is complete Abnredleg Nov 2024 #40
Unless there has been any discrepencies that would allow for a recount to be requested. Think. Again. Nov 2024 #43
How do you silence the party witnesses? Abnredleg Nov 2024 #51
Good points, though Buell et al. note that David Boyle Nov 2024 #71
Voting equipment is not networked Abnredleg Nov 2024 #72
That's comforting, actually David Boyle Nov 2024 #75
Hmmm David Boyle Nov 2024 #32
Oh, maybe reply 31 David Boyle Nov 2024 #35
But reply #36 Abnredleg Nov 2024 #37
And this website explains that NC audits are not required to be made public... Think. Again. Nov 2024 #42
A ha! David Boyle Nov 2024 #44
They post them to their website Abnredleg Nov 2024 #45
Hope so David Boyle Nov 2024 #49
Let's hope they do... Think. Again. Nov 2024 #50
As pointed out, the 350,000 numer from NC is wrong Abnredleg Nov 2024 #54
I have only seen reference to a +/-600,000 number spread among all the swing states. Think. Again. Nov 2024 #56
There is another version of this letter on DU Abnredleg Nov 2024 #58
There have actually been 2 letters sent to Harris... Think. Again. Nov 2024 #59

I find it hard to imagine why a true Democrat would be AGAINST... Think. Again. Nov 2024 #53
Not sure how it'd hurt David Boyle Nov 2024 #55
So Harris is not a true Dem? Abnredleg Nov 2024 #79
You are erroneously speaking for them... Think. Again. Nov 2024 #80
Maybe they should... David Boyle Nov 2024 #82
I agree.... Think. Again. Nov 2024 #84

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 2024 #65
"To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield" David Boyle Nov 2024 #66
True that. And, yes, i do know the quote - but didn't know it was Ulysses electric_blue68 Nov 2024 #67
Not to be confused with James Joyce's "Ulysses" David Boyle Nov 2024 #68
Well, I wouldn't know enough about either... electric_blue68 Nov 2024 #69
