Fri Oct 3, 2025, 02:11 PM
Oct 3

Because they are not the secret ballots that can be easily changed. If the mail in ballots are changed, you can call voters to see true voter intent. 2020 was won with mail in ballots. 2024 was stolen with changed secret ballots.

(1) the ballot is returned in a double envelope. The outer envelope allows for verification of voter ID. Once the outer envelope is separated from the inner envelope, it cannot be connected back to the person who cast the ballot.

(2) even if it was somehow possible to connect ballot to voter, asking a voter post-election who they voted for is subject to outcome bias (i.e. people like to be perceived as voting for the winner - so they are less likely to disclose their actual vote.

Fri Oct 3, 2025, 04:32 PM

In order to save our Democracy we need to figure out how to promote and protect free and fair and elections.

I think the Dem leadership is not helping the situation by holding onto the message: "we are not election deniers". There is a difference between making false accusations and pursuing true irregularities.

I believe the consultant class and strategists may have dissuaded leadership and/or Harris from requesting paper ballot hand recounts.

We (meaning) everyone including Dem leadership) need to keep our eyes and voices on the topic.

Not enough Dems juxtapose the saving of Democracy and the need to for free and fair elections. Chris Murphy regularly gives voice to these concerns. (However, I have never heard him question the 2024 results.)

Fri Oct 3, 2025, 02:33 PM

I'm not buying it. Results change from election to election and an unusual result is not evidence of fraud. He says some precincts with higher turnout went more for Trump but that's probably because Trump voters turned out at a higher rate.

It would be almost impossible to fix an election. He has no explanation for how it could have been done.

I really dislike the hoaxes because I take pride in the fact that my side doesn't have many conspiracy theories while the other side has them all the time. The next time we complain about the right wing making false claims of vote fraud I don't want to see them saying "your guys do it too."

It was a waste of time. Did you notice how often he uses words like "could" "if" "seems" etc? He says it every time. He says if someone could have stuff ballot boxes or switched votes but has no explanation how and offers nothing at all that is evidence that someone did. He talks about what happened at Volkswagen but when voting machines are programmed there are lots of people watching. He talks about someone hacking a central tabulator but here in PA, which is one of the two states he cites, newspapers publish precinct by precinct results and people who were there watch. If votes were switched at a central location there would be plenty who would spot it. The fact that results were similar all over is strong evidence that there was no fraud, as it would have had to have been done in NUMEROUS places. He says some counties in PA got 92% turnout. I'd like to know which ones.

Since you've spent all this time I'd love to see any real evidence you have. There is none here.

The only tabulators outside of the precincts in Virginia are the ones that count the mail-in and drop off ballots, and the same security processes are followed for those, and attested to by elections officers of both parties. Partisan election observers from both parties are also present at the central offices and most precincts.

It sure looks like the architecture was in place to allow that to happen.
Btw three things that makes the election not pass my smell test is that every glitch, crazy
stat, and what have you helped the republicans and has so for years, and 70% + of Americans
supported a woman’s right to choose about her body and health care but that vote disappeared
in the November 24 elections even though post the overturning of Roe v Wade every election
showed strong support for women’s rights but somehow that vote disappeared, and just Trump’s
actions during the campaign showed to me at least he knew “the fix was in.”

2000 and 2004. Do you remember how far off the exit polls were, especially in 2004? The exits were so far off that they started "correcting" the exits to more match the official vote counts. I remember research posted here on DU showing that some voting machine results matched the exits, while ES&S machines were responsible for the lack of precision.

Was it done is the first question. The statistician’s job is to examine the numbers, the probability of it being rigged. He’s got some evidence. Right now he’s saying the anomalies he has found show in some cases the degree of anomaly could have had an effect on the election. He’s being conservative in his pronouncements.

Fri Oct 3, 2025, 05:09 PM

But sure even though you didn't ask the conspiracy theorists to explain why they discard the obvious. Some people will have been unhappy with President Biden whether due to the economy, or covid restrictions, or immigration, or crime, or they were upset by his age, or Gaza, etc. Or Harris being perceived as too invested in trans rights. And then there's misogyny/racism.

But then that same person looks at say the governor's race in North Carolina and the major party candidates are a self proclaimed black nazi and the governor. Hardly unimaginable that people couldn't get onboard with the guy who called himself a nazi. And before you say Trump is a nazi, he didn't use the word, and people are really good at compartmentalizing.

Now it's your turn. Explain that the election very much matched pre election polls, how democratic officials all over the country were either complict or too stupid to see anything wrong, and why the Harris campaign hasn't said anything.

Say they did cheat and it can be proven. Who is going to do anything about it? Certainly not Congress which is run by fascists. Certainly not the courts, which are run by fascists. The media is run by……you guessed it..fascists and they’ll lie and distort the facts to prevent the necessary uprising as they’ve been doing for years.

What are we going to do? Theyre already doing test runs, getting people used to the idea of a police state, getting people used to the idea of their fellow citizens being dragged from their homes. We’re there. It’s happened.

27. Interesting stuff, I will look forward to the follow-up interview
Fri Oct 3, 2025, 03:15 PM
Oct 3

So, am I interpreting this correctly: is the guest saying was that wherever the turnout % was high, that above a certain threshold, all votes began to be calculated as "Trump votes", and that was the means by which it was stolen? Almost all the votes were tabulated on machines from two companies, and may both have had corrupted tabulator code, basically? This seems like it would relatively easy to check by looking at the timestamps of when votes were counted, and what they showed. The turnout % could not be known positively in advance, so the machines would have to be acting this way 'on the fly' when the threshold was actually hit by actual vote counts. So you'd see that like, after 9:21 pm, the vote % for Trump suddenly diverged in a statistically improbable way.

Or am I missing something?

"All parties have observers watching every step of the process"
Yes, all parties are allowed to observe. BUT,
No, not every step. Only the steps they can observe. They cannot observe the summation done inside the computer.
Here the problem can be in the computer's summation process where after 500 votes, 1% or 2% can get changed unseen by human eyes. This is a simple solution. The kind of solution that Trump alluded to. Either Russia, Musk, or Big Balls could possibly insert such code and would also know how to do it such that code check numbers would still match.

Also, the subsequent random checks can be very lucky by how the random choice is made. Properly, that would involve a random number generator picking random numbers. Then the unlucky team has to count through hundreds of ballots to find number 12,345. Humans like to pick at random. Much easier. The first batch gets the most picks and someone says: Let's call it a day. That's why the first 500 ballots don't get the changes made.

And what do they do if one error is found. Pick another ballot and call it a day. The science of statistical use is a very questionable science, especially when it doesn't get fully checked for repetition.

"Our system of elections is so decentralized, and has so many people involved, that only by magical handwashing all the problems away can such a scheme be pulled off."
It doesn't have to be magical if it is done smartly.

Fri Oct 3, 2025, 03:42 PM

For those of you calling it a made up conspiracy theory there is substantial proof that at the very least should be studied to prevent possible future questions.

A group of statisticians working for "Election Truth Alliance" has studied the 2020 and 2024 elections and have provided compelling evidence of statistical analysis of anomalies that occurred during the 2024 election. Using many graphs they are able to show very easily the astronomical anomalies that occurred of which the odds of happening number in the billions. I was able to see a 2 part, 3-hour presentation on Christopher Titus's podcast on YouTube.

To collect all of the data has taken time which would answer the question, "why wasn't this evidence provided before the Felon stepped foot in the People's Whitehouse".
The other obvious question would be, "what can be done now?" Probably not a damn thing. But, if the election was stolen, maybe we can learn how to prevent it in the future and we can still punish the perpetrators in the next Administration, without Garland there to slow the process.

Unlike previous election deniers, we are not storming D.C., we are not taking up arms and we are not making the accusations based on a losing politician's word. Rationally, we understand there's probably nothing that can be done about it. So no, it's not just like Republican's reaction.

Same thing here - the analysis is worthless unless you can explain the how, and no one has presented any options that stand up to scrutiny.

When you add that together with other sources of information, it goes a long way to prove your position.

On the other hand, what about all of the bomb threats that were called in to swing state facilities where voting and counting were underway and had to be vacated thereby leaving ballots unattended. It seems to have been a coordinated effort whether perpetrated by Republicans or a foreign gov't that had a stake in our politics. Did this happen in the 2020 election?

Was the richest man in the world with a collection of computer geniuses working on behalf of a 34 count Felon whose freedom was on the line and wouldn't hesitate to cheat, working on the 2020 election?

When was the last time members of a previous administration came out against the President they served under let alone the scores of voters of the opposition party coming out in favor of the opposition.

I don't have an answer for the polls just prior to election day. If the election was legitimate, I don't think Republicans won so much as I think Democrats lost. The Felon is the punishment for the Nation, for the Democrats failure to win. No matter the reason. I would hate to see a repeat in '26 and '28. Remember, he said if Republicans got him into office, they wouldn't have to worry about voting again. Most of us assumed it was because he couldn't run again, not that he wouldn't leave office a la Putin.

Trump won because a large percentage of the population pays no attention to politics and blamed Biden for high prices. The economy was always the major issue of the election, and people were suffering. They still are and now we can use it to our advantage in 2026.

As for bomb threats not having an impact on the election, I was not aware, there were so many bomb threats until recently therefore I wasn't aware that it had no significant impact.

Finally, low information voters was a pretty obvious problem as evidenced by the number of undecided voters so close to the election.

Fri Oct 3, 2025, 05:34 PM
Oct 3

The only statistics involved in RLA are determining the number of ballots to sample, and that number increases considerably the closer the race is. After that, it’s a manual compass of ballots to tabulated results. Given that the starting sample relatively large to begin with, that means the resulting sample is very robust. It’s a very well method that has been used in elections for decades.

are simple and have been around for decades. The statistical analysis used in the video is opaque and uses questionable assumptions that can be easily countered by outside data. Thats why everyone, including the campaign, has moved on. This is no different from the “analysis” done by the GOP in 2020. Just like the GOP fell on its face while attempting to show “how” the conspiracy was carried out, this video has plenty of conjecture but not coherent “how”. Doesn’t matter how compelling the analysis if you can’t show a reasonable method of carrying out the conspiracy.

Jeffrey Epstein couldn’t have colluded with Ghislaine Maxwell to blackmail rich pervs because that’s just a stupid CONSPIRACY THEORY!”

Repeat after me: THERE ARE NO CONSPIRACIES BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO START OUT ”IN THEORY!”

Get with the program, people!

It's way past time democrats were actually WOKE, and could wake up to what has been happening to our country for the past 40 years.

That’s just one phone call. The traitor had an army of traitors doing worse, including “examining” the ballot tabulators.

The judge in the Rockland County, New York lawsuit has until November 8 to decide if SmartElections.us can do a hand count of the paper ballots.

This claim has been popping up every few weeks since earlier this year.

I recently retired after serving almost 15 years as a local Electoral Board member in a rural VA county. I know election officials in several states, have been in other states to observe their practices. I know every piece of voting equipment used in the US forward and backward. I don't claim to be an expert on election processes but this claim needs to go away -- because:

1. It's based on "sources" -- what sources???? No one knows.
2. It makes us look as bad as Trump.
3, It takes time and energy away from protecting upcoming elections and getting out the vote for Democratic candidates.


I visited the website of the "Election Truth Alliance." Looks pretty sketchy to me. In Virginia, I have been doing battle with an organization calling themselves the "Electoral Process Education Corporation" -- they operate out of a mail drop in a Fairfax, VA, strip mall; their officers and analysts are a gaggle of self-promoters, wackjobs, and MAGAts. I see some similarities with this "Election Truth Alliance."

The "Executive Director" of this group is named "Jive." Sure thing, gang, sure thing. I was born at night but not last night.

Flame away if you believe this crap, which is your privilege to do.

The replies of those in support (and that are critical of things like this) are very revealing. It's just that tinfoil CT is not my thing... although I do understand how these types of far-fetched ideas and beliefs can help folks to find "order" in the universe and to explain things that are "unexplainable" or just random or just... sadly... the truth that's hard to accept.

Trump won. That's a fact. The EC sucks but it's what we have. There are many other nefarious reasons (and players) who influenced the outcome of the election (ie: "uncommitted" and "leaveitblank'') which likely had more of an effect in boosting Trump than those who defend this "movement" are willing to admit. Sad but true.

93. Computer voting systems are always hackable. Always.
Fri Oct 3, 2025, 04:52 PM

Beginning in 2004 we began having our votes counted on computers. Since 2004 there have always been problems with our voting systems. However, no election was stolen more thoroughly than the 2024 election . Very thorough election fraud in 2024. The evidence of election fraud is statistical data, which seems like nonsense to some people. The proof is doing hand counting of select precincts or counties and comparing the hand counted results with the stated election results. Proof is coming. The judge in the Rockland County, New York lawsuit has until November 8 to decide if SmartElections.us can do a hand count of the 2024 election. ElectionsTrustAllialnce.org is keeping any lawsuits they may initiate "close to the chest."

continuously denied the legitimacy of Biden's Presidency. So I'm totally fine with Democrats doing the same to Trump.

He sure does, or at least his experts knew them well enough, when you watch the YouTube I link to it will be amazing to you.

They were pretty smart though although Trump‘s a moron to claim their election was stolen every single day when they knew they were going to rig an election and therefore anyone who says it was stolen like I’m doing gets yelled at even by people that should know better around here, even.

I've never denied the possibility of it, nor claimed it as an impossibility. What I have said (in response to similar posts) is that Republicans have long been rigging the vote, via voter suppression and in numerous other ways even before Election Night 2024.

And I've been posting news items and writing op-eds about this for a good decade, including that 2018 Abrams, Kemp gubernatorial DEBACLE in Georgia.

Fact is, their efforts have been so widespread, so varied, so maliciously all-encompassing, and ongoing for SO long, that it's difficult even for one who's been following it, to remember it all.

That's by design, of course.

Here are just THREE, quite detailed, Wikipedia references re. THE REPUBLICAN ATTACK UPON THE RIGHT TO VOTE:

Republican Party efforts to disrupt the 2024 United States presidential election - Wikipedia

Republican efforts to restrict voting following the 2020 United States presidential election - Wikipedia

Voter suppression in the United States - Wikipedia
