Meryl, I think there is a lot more to this story that hasn't been reported. Dominion machines were proven to be easily hackable a few years ago. I'll look it up.

Yes there has to be. Apparently another trial is underway but I had trouble finding info. And I have a bad cold and feel crumby. But Georgia is a hotspot with the Trump case falling apart over the DA's affair with her overpaid prosecutor, controversial Raffensberger, MTG. Hopefully there will be good media coverage.

If the truth about Jan. 6th would be recognized it would help get things right for Trump in all his crazy lawsuits. We all want the truth, not to hijack the 2024 elections.

Some people are not acting in good faith. That's bad for the country.

Dominion? What happened to Diebold?

P.S. observe that the word "dominion" is a literal opposite of the word "democracy".

Just spell it out for us, why don't ya?

what happened to diebold? they went through a few name changes and are now known as dominion...

Diebold was also a criminal operator. they changed their name. I don't know what it is now.

Dominion is not the only election machine cheat. there are several.

Putting aside differences we may have, Jeff O'Donnell and a few others have analyzed analyzed the tabulator logs (Cast Vote Records) from maybe half or more counties across the country. Once became known widely, some counties and states began balking or refusing at requests for these records. The CVR gives a "time" series plot in a race. As recently said by Ed Solomon in his presentation of El Paso County [Colorado?] 2020 data, the "time" is of ballots or batch ID's of ballots being counted. Ed was credited by others as having suggested maybe back in early 2021 for plotting ratio between candidate sums thereby uncovering the engineering system control technique or algorithm called the PID, the behavior of which was clearly visible in the progression of ballot batch time everywhere looked including for counties in Florida in 2020 election.

Then, in Aug 2022 was uncovering of uncertified database software and a 2nd database file on hard drive image of dominion computer EMS of Mesa County, Colorado. Jeff was picked to do forensic analyses of the 2 images recorded before and after system update in May 2021 by dominion technician.

OK.

they were proven to be hackable and hacked in 2000, when dominion was known as diebold.

Voting: safe and effective!

And apparently just as hazardous to American life!

But wasn't the vote "injection" referred to as "fair and secure"?

Mr. Magoo holds TWO modern, irreconcilable records:

the greatest number of presidential votes in modern history as well as the lowest poll ratings.

Hmmm🤔

Thank you for sharing this incredible story! I watched many hours of statements by frustrated and abused poll workers, statisticians and technology experts who were willing to sign affidavits stating that there were substantial irregularities during the 2020 presidential election. I was certain that it was NOT the most secure election in U.S. history as that Chris Krebs guy declared.

Voting machines 😂. We could have OpenSource Blockchain voting but that would make cheating next to impossible so politicians would never allow it.

Here in France, voters register, proving their citizenship, ID & address.

On voting day, they go to a local polling station. With representatives from all parties present in the hall, they mark their vote on paper (behind a curtain), show their photo ID, sign their signature against their registration data to say they are voting and can then drop their ballot in the ballot box. They leave.

Results for the nation come in before midnight.

Seems pretty simple & secure.

I've counted votes in this same fashion in Canada. It's simple, secure and fast. It takes about 30 minutes to count a box containing 150 ballots.

I recall complaints about ballots having tears in them and not being counted and many said they arrived that way. I believe this was during “covid”. I’m curious if that is something that happened during France last election as many were not happy with the out come.

If we''re to being a cracking of the Electoral Circus, Paper Ballets are Step One. https://donpaulwearerev.com/flipping-the-script/paper-ballots-all-the-way-again-and-vote-fraud-2020-and-2004

This is hardly new, though. Read BLACK BOX VOTING (2004), which is available online for free; or watch Hacking Democracy (2006?) on youtube, if you can find the whole thing. Paper ballots only help IF they get counted accurately; at least the vote count CAN be verified if the chain-of-custody between the ballots & their voters is still intact. There's NO way to verify any count of votes on a touch-screen machine.

Hackers breach dozens of voting machines brought to conference

One of the nation’s largest cybersecurity conferences is inviting attendees to get hands-on experience hacking a slew of voting machines, demonstrating to researchers how easy the process can be.

“It took me only a few minutes to see how to hack it,” said security consultant Thomas Richards, glancing at a Premier Election Solutions machine currently in use in Georgia.

The DEF CON cybersecurity conference is held annually in Las Vegas. This year, for the first time, the conference is hosting a “Voting Machine Village,” where attendees can try to hack a number of systems and help catch vulnerabilities.

The conference acquired 30 machines for hackers to toy with. Every voting machine in the village was hacked.

Though voting machines are technologically simple, they are difficult for researchers to obtain for independent research. The machine that Richards learned how to hack used beneath-the-surface software, known as firmware, designed in 2007. But a number of well-known vulnerabilities in that firmware have developed over the past decade.

In the 2020 election only Florida held a secure vote, mainly due to procedures and laws enacted after the embarrassment of the 2000 elections. Trump won Florida by a huge margin in 2020. If every state ran elections as secure as Florida did, Trump would have won the biggest landslide since 1984.

Florida only recently became a red state after its elections became the most secure and honest.

How did people in Europe have the ability to know election results, before the American people? The only way we can have an honest election is do it the old way... Voters must have IDs, paper ballot counting by hand. no voting by mail; No more drop boxes and Hold public officials accountable for not cleaning up voter rolls.

Yes, juicy.

I ask because there is a level of preciseness you display that is only slightly less impressive than the depth and frequency of what you display.

I remember watching the election results come in late that night, and when the when it was looking like a Trump win, the remaining Democrat-run states like Georgia and Wisconsin stopped counting. I smelled a rat, and sure enough; he lost despite the mathematical improbability. This is how it was done.

If a country like the US with such financial and technological might cannot hold fair elections, that can be for only one reason : someone wants it that way?

Expand full comment

Precisely. 2020 was as fake as fake can get. In addition to obvious Dominion voting system manipulation (which one could watch on TV at night... when they just plain stopped counting Trump votes and/or shifted his accumulation to a 3/4 Trump-Biden algorithm, which utterly defied all "physics" of statistics), there were: democrat dead voter rolls and ballot harvesting in swing state big cities, like Philly; USPS back-dating mail-in ballots (as ordered by supervisors); on-site ballot manipulation / multiple scans by poll workers (during shut-outs of republican inspectors); van-loads of Biden-only ballots (with no votes cast for local offices); 1,000s of drop box fake ballot mules; etc.

Plenty of sworn affidavits and in-person testimonies before state commissions (I watched a few hours on CSPAN, FFS.) were submitted by credible witnesses, attesting to these crimes.

And our illustrious (corrupt kangaroo) court system dumped all of it, and SCOTUS ignored it.

And yes, they want it to continue this way, so despite the fact that almost all European and other countries around the world employ voter picture ID measures, we won't in the US... because it is supposedly "racist." (My, how the Founders continue to turn--no, SPIN--in their sad graves.)

"Hack" implies an action meant to circumvent proper operation of the machines, but this access point / function is clearly engineered for utility.

This is a feature, not a bug.

The Republic will continue to languish under illegitimate government as long as we use electronic voting machines.

(For Christ's sake, Black Box Voting was calling this sort of thing out YEARS ago.)
