Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsIt's nearly a week since the voting, and given that I follow DU closely, just yesterday, I found out Musk and Starlnk..
......were involved in ONLY (?) the swing states uploading voting data to tabulators, which caught my attention and gave me pause to remember this past occurrence. 2012 Obama vs Romney
I am retired from IT (10 years retired, so very, very outdated regarding technology ).
I'm going to venture a guess between the uplink of the data in one location to the ultimate downlink to who's doing tabulation and ultimately reporting the data to us, the public; the DATA could have been manipulated to benefit Trump. If the data was not traveling from one place to another via NORMAL (secured) links with the ability to trace the "transactions" that occurred during its time in transmission out of the secured election system network nationwide. IT COULD HAVE BEEN manipulated before it was returned.
I'm dating myself now, so bear with me. I'm not sure which election it was, but the good guys on our side (mostly very experienced hackers) traced the links the GOP had set up to move election tallies to a remote tabulation computer, where the data could have been massaged and returned it with the results in their favor.
So, let me back up a little. The "hackers" watched the movement back and forth of the TEST data for (days, weeks, months) I don't know, BUT they knew precisely what route it took going out and returning. So they hacked the last link in the return trip and altered the firewall so the data could not pass through it.
I REMEMBER WHAT ELECTION IT WAS IN 2012. Obama vs Romney
On election night, Fox announced the results state by state, and the race was close. But at one point, Karl Rove was waiting for Ohio's final numbers to decide who would win. The election desk called it for Obama, and Karl Rove was furious and tried to stop it, but he couldn't get the final tallies.
At the time, those watching had heard the rumor that the hackers had stopped the massaged data from returning. Of course, we could never prove it, and the GOP could not say, "Wait, if our massaged data had gotten back, we would have won."
So now back to Skylink Musk / Trump and stealing an election. They could have manipulated the results without oversight by bypassing the national election network and using Musk's Skylink communications.
Anyone who can manage this could write software to steal votes:
THESE QUESTIONS NEED TO BE ANSWERED.
While others legitimately ask about the difference between the 2020 votes and the 2024 votes for the Democrats.
Maybe STARLINK and Musk had a hand in the numbers.
REMEMBER TRUMP SAID WE DON'T NEED YOUR VOTES! Was the high-tech clandestine fix in via Musk's Starlink "back channel"?

(60,708 posts)if the vote totals are preset or something like that, it would account for the apparent discrepancy in the tens of millions of votes missing and the fact that we were told the results of the Presidential election in a few hours, when we'd been cautioned it would take "days to weeks."

(16,743 posts)If a recount of the actual cards in the tabulators was done then it might be interesting.
But I know that Democrats so totally believe in the machines, that I do not think anything will be done.
Because to believe that what the Republicans tried to project that the Democrats were doing, year after year would make a person a "conspiracy theorist" wouldn't it?
Just because they tested different methods, year after year after year

(1,108 posts)Virginia closed blue late. All the swing states? A little back and forth at the beginning, but they all closed solidly red. It might just depend when states count early votes, but every swing state picked up red steam moving forward, even when the urban areas still had lots of votes left. Maybe thats how landslides work. Or maybe something fishy happened.

(48 posts)And the American people deserve an investigation to get to the bottom of all this, because it's really hard to believe the guy who cheated on all 3 wives, cheats at golf, cheated in the last election and told us he doesn't need votes, because he already has enough. Not to mention the billionaire who owns satellites, biggest social media platform in the world that hacking voting machines is as simple as changing one line of code and whom according to Joe Rogan had an app that let him know the results of election 4 hours ahead of everyone else.
hootman
(48 posts)And saying "according to Joe Rogan" doesnt help the argument. Voting machines aren't connected to the internet.
As of TODAY there is no evidence that any votes were changed by anything or anyone
If that changes, then sure; investigate. But just doing it because "we didnt see this coming" isnt good enough
tintinvotes
(48 posts)None of what I wrote was brought up by Qanon. Trump is going to destroy our country, it's not hyperbole it's a fact. There are people all over the internet with screenshots that say their votes didn't count, weird split tickets, bomb threats from Russia. Yet, you think we should just roll over and hand the country over to Trump and Putin? We can't even question the insane outcome and discrepancies? I honestly think the over 100 bomb threats at Democratic strongholds on election day makes this election fradulent and tampered with.
hootman
(48 posts)You can always dispute a ballot you think wasnt counted. And I've only seen anecdotal evidence of that
In GA, precincts were kept open later & some not even made to close because the Feds told them they were from russia. Even so, what are you going to DO? You cant re-run an election due to 100 bomb threats out of thousands of precincts. Someone needs to show either missing ballots or changed ballots. Make a legal challenge; its their right. Go ahead. But I need PROOF before I start yelling "Stop the Steal!!"
The only way you get proof is by investigating. The media made sure Trump was elected. I have no doubt an investigation would uncover a lot of hidden agendas and bribes. Tucker Carlson works for Russia according to Justin Trudeau 🙄
hootman
(48 posts)Still doesnt show any false voting. If every state said "record turnout!!" then yes, we have a problem. But how many states have said that? GA is the only one I know of. And that was a close race 4 yrs ago; why wouldnt it be close this time?
As of yesterday, Harris has 6 million MORE votes than she did a week ago. Because the counting STILL isnt over; mostly in CA. Trumps numbers are about the same as '20.
If we start claiming it was stolen without evidence then it just gives more credence to the Cult saying 2020 was stolen. Talking heads paid by russia isnt proof of voter fraud. Already we've had the totally FALSE "Starling handled votes" story peddled HERE.
tintinvotes
(48 posts)Starlink was used, and shouldn't have been under any circumstances. This is a man who said anything can be hacked and changing votes would be as easy as changing one line of code. He held an illegal lottery to bribe people. He said he was going to jail if Trump didn't win. He also told Rogan he developed an app that told him results 4 hours ahead of everyone else. Only that could be true is if Starlink was used in election offices (but not to count votes as you've assured me, without any evidence ofcourse). There's enough evidence of wrongdoing to do an investigation.

No doubt the hacking and data manipulation is possible... to my way of thinking, it's probable. No doubt they have the tech equipment, skills and genius tech wizardry... AND the resources. Look at the motivation and coordination. They had to postpone their plans for four years because Joe Biden won in 2020. They're chomping at the bit. No way were they going to wait another four years.
As I said, this is the way I'm thinking about it. My opinion and my gut feeling.
They couldn't leave it to chance.
I really hope there are people behind the scenes investigating this.

This data hacking effort started right around 2000 when Al Gore lost the State of Florida to G.W. Bush. There were even people coming forward at time who said they developed software to redistribute the vote at the voting machine level. The 2004 election was also centered in Ohio and there were shenanigans going on everywhere. Franklin County, Ohio closed the tabulation center and kicked out all the democratic observers due to a threat. The CEO of Diebold, who was a rabid Bush supporter, promised to deliver the state to Bush in a public speech. The SOS was Ken Blackwell, who also served as Bush's campaign chair in Ohio. Blackwell found a way to disqualify people based on the weight of paper used for ballots. They also allocated voting machines to purposely create long lines in Democratic leaning districts. Then there were the actual voting machines, where the supplier (Diebold) applied a software patch right before the election. They claimed the machines and software were proprietary technology so there was little oversight of the last-minute software patch.
You may recall that the 2004 election in Ohio was so questionable that John Conyers convened a minority party report on the corruption (What Went Wrong in Ohio). There were also Democratic representatives from Ohio who objected to the certification. So, what happened in 2004 was a dress rehearsal for 2012 (I remember when the Ohio SOS website went down on election night and then came back with different numbers - tried to screenshot it live). Karl Rove and company knew about a man-in-the-middle set up in Ohio like you described. But luckily these hackers you mentioned stopped the process.
These folks have been perfecting their craft for years. So, it would not sunrise me in the slightest if they had software that could strip out enough votes to carry an election. They may have stripped them out of places where they were least expected too (red leaning areas). I wonder if it would be possible to see if the precinct data compares favorably to the vote totals reported. If it does, then it may not be an issue. If not, then there is something awry with respect to how the data was managed.

(10 posts)Trump is a Russian asset working for Putin (see book American Kompromat by journalist Craig Unger or Active Measures documentary with Hillary Clinton(1), sources below). Elon and Trump are working together (2). They both have substantial ties to Epstein (3) (4) (5) (6). Trump stole election software in 2020 (7). Similarly, Elon Musk has been in contact with Russia for the last 2 years (8). This includes during the Ukraine War when Russia began using Starlink (9) while it was claimed they got them third party and not from Musk himself; however now appears imo to show Elon is a doublecrosser.
Starlink, Elon's satellite company, was installed in some voting machines across the country (10) and may have interfered with vote tabulation. Voting machines were found to be connected to the internet (11). An independent report on voting machines concluded that tabulation tampering was possible with current voting machines, so hand counts are vital (12). In September, Politico had an investigation finding Russian malware on a state voter registration database (13). Also, there were malicious fake texts from fake DNC organizations, connected to Elon who donated to them, that were fishing voter info (14).
Elon had results of election on an app 4 hours before official counts had it (15), per Joe Rogan podcast in a discussion to Theo Von. Earlier this year, Tana Monogeau, released info that she'd been offered millions of dollars to endorse the Trump campaign and that she knew others had taken the deal (16).
They will release more info admitting their fraud because they are a Russian asset trying to start a civil war here (speculation). They want us to be confused about sources and who to trust and what's real, they want to release the truth to anger us and lies to anger us. Trump has refused to write an ethics statement for transition of power saying he will transition peacefully (17). JD Vance has also told the EU that unless they allow X unfettered access to the EU (to spread propaganda), they will withdraw the US from NATO (18) - which will prompt wars or takeover either way and weakens Germany, who is entering an election since their government couldn't agree on Ukraine budget. A Russian space chief said Elon Musks plan to bomb Mars is a cover to put nuclear weapons in space (19).
Also speculation, are reports of widespread ballot rejection, especially for signatures. There are articles claiming already that it is because GenZ does not know cursive (20) - except the signature simply must match your driver's license. It's not a cursive writing test. Avocado toast but with gen z voting fraud. We do not yet have the ballot rejection rates but typically they are around 1% to 1.5% (21).
Crypto is how right wing conservatism got funded here. It's why it took off- it was basically UBI for those men, funded by foreign intelligence for this purpose along with other uses for crypto like dark money, drugs, trafficking, etc (22)(23). The least informed people we knew were investing in crypto when it was starting, mining bitcoins. They couldn't tell you what a stock or tariff is, yet they were making bank in crypto trading. Crypto trading, especially memecoins, appears to be an obvious scam to most because it's the stock market without ownership. So why were these 4chan pedophiles and nazis doing so well? Because it was just meant to give them money the whole time. And crypto is great for transferring money internationally from shady organizations to shady people (24). Far right catchphrases and meme campaigns dispersed online including X, give out the key words/catchphrases for the new coin that isn't a scam and will disperse money. People who are deep in these groups interner algorithms get these keywords first and normal outsiders will either not notice or will stay away. No normal person wants a coin that references Hitler if they are just scrolling memecoins.
Once the government has been taken over, they can force their memecoin as the national currency and then rug pull, which is also what Musk is likely going to do to Tesla at the same time. The entire point is to bankrupt America for Putin and his cartoon villain cohorts. Musk is already saying he wants to withdraw from US currency due to national debt (Trump added most of the national debt) (25).
If you're in Germany, take note. They are coming for you next, your election is soon.

Shouldn't he be suing for recounts? He did it last time. Why doesn't he want an investigation this time?

His winning with 4 million less votes than 2020 and 17 million voters or Democrats failing to vote in the most important election of our time is surely a reasonable concern.

(1,242 posts)All of these accusations against the Republicans for dirty dealing and cheating and lying and stealing as though they were some sort of monsters or something! I mean come on. It is not like we have seen any evidence of any of that. Besides, there are guardrails, and institionalists, and safeguards. There are lawyers and courts and stuff. How could they get away with any skullduggery? People would Tweet about it, and it would go viral and the bad guys would be toast, right? MSNBC would do some hard hitting shows and that would expose their dirty tricks and that would be the end of that. Then there is the FBI, DOJ and AG Garland. The Republicans could never get away with engaging in some massive crime spree. There would be serious consequences, just look at what the FBI has done to other groups:
"Since 2010, the FBI has surveilled black activists and Muslim Americans, Palestinian solidarity and peace activists, Abolish ICE protesters, Occupy Wall Street, environmentalists, Cuba and Iran normalization proponents, and protesters at the Republican National Convention. And that is just the surveillance we know of as the civil liberties group Defending Rights & Dissent documents in a report published today. The report is a detailed catalog of known FBI First Amendment abuses and political surveillance since 2010, when the Department of Justices Office of Inspector General published the last official review of Bush-era abuses. The incidents the report references, many of which were previously covered by The Intercept, were largely exposed through public records requests by journalists, activists, and civil rights advocates. The FBI relentlessly fought those disclosures, and the documents we have were often so heavily redacted they only revealed the existence of initiatives like a 'Race Paper' or an 'Iron Fist' operation, both targeting racial justice activists, while giving away little detail about their content."

Surely the FBI and the DOJ would treat right wing terrorists and criminals the same harsh way!
I don't know why people are so suspicious on the Republicans and keep making up all these conspiracy theories. People are claiming all sorts of crazy things, such as saying that Republicans orchestrated a seditious attack on the Capitol! How far-fetched is that? Some conspiracy theorists claim that the Republicans have purged millions of people from the voting rolls. Another theory says that Republicans separated children from their parents at the border. Then there is the crazy theory that the Republicans have been colluding with the Russians to destroy democracy in the US! Another wacky idea is that Trump actually stole classified documents, or that he shared intelligence with other countries, or threatened elections officials, or tried to overturn an election, or committed fraud, or is guilty of sexual assault!
If we make all of these wild accusations, how does that make us look? Won't we then be just as bad as the other side? Aren't we better than this? And whatever happened to bipartisanship? I am sure if we reach out and are willing to compromise they will be reasonable.

[[1 / 14]] Interesting. American Voting has been subject to repeated hacks since at least #BushVGore where hanging chads were just a distraction, the hack was in Valusia County. I was a leader in uncovering hacks in 2002 and 2004. When Bush hacked OH away from Kerry. No one cared. I stopped. [[2 / 14]] I continue to work professionally finding hackers, and fairly often DEVELOP AND INSTALL hacks designed to ferret out the misuse of systems. My customers have included numerous governments and F100 firms. I wrote risk assessments of smart grid technologies for Obama, and IP e-protection for GE. [[3 / 14]] Here is what you are seeing. The Tabulation Systems at the County level were hacked far in advance of the election. The hack was probably written into the code even before the code was installed. It will have a WHEN function and IF/THEN functions to have the machine force balance to a... [[4 / 14]] given outcome within a specific window of time. You could test the machines 1000 times before election night, and the result will be correct. If you run it during the time window, the force balancing will be turned on and regardless of inputs you will get a programmed output. [[5 / 14]] It is very simple to prove this. Take the two most outlandish precinct results from any county and just hand-count the ballots. They won't match the tabulation outputs. From what I am seeing, you will find 8-11% avg. shifts from Dem to Rep. Be sure to check heavy Red areas, easier to cover up... [[6 / 14]] a run up of the score. That was how it was done in Ohio vs. Kerry - GOP flips in already highly red areas. Now, why the Bomb-Threats? They were NOT to allow for hacker access. The programming was already in place, they were to break Chain of Custody and produce legal grounds to not trust a [[7 / 14]] recount. Every place that GOT a bomb-threat is a place the courts will now have to consider the factual argument of whether the ballots COULD have been tampered with while the evacuations were going on. They weren't. But that is the argument the GOP will make to prevent recounts. [[8 / 14]] I used to appear on Lou Dobbs TV Show, back when he was at CNN and discuss hacking, including of voting machines. I helped get machines into researchers hands - every single one of them were shocked/horrified how simple hacking the machines was. But somehow, the public has refused to engage. [[9 / 14]] Now that a full blown #fascist takeover is underway, and they did it by hacking the tabulation machines as described, please engage. I will lend any expertise if asked, but be aware these people are sociopaths who will kill you, they have done so to others, so act accordingly. [[10 / 14]] And it was relatively easy. Perhaps 300-500 tabulators of 3 types with 24+ months of prep. You just saw 3000+ comms devices of 4+ types hacked with software and installed explosives. These were set off in waves and specific times to destroy Hamas. Same thing here. [[11 / 14]] My personal record. A team of 4, 11 months total operation time, we hacked 500 Point of Sale Credit Card machines to install added tracking software allowing the units to work correctly while also creating traces to catch CC money laundering which the retailer was in on. Same thing as election 2024 [[12 / 14]] And finally, let me say again, this is a simple, stupid, easy to prove hack. Hand Count most suspected 2 Precincts in each county. They won't match. And FWIW, I am currently working on a much harder hack larger in scale and much better executed. This election hack is just about political will. [[13 / 14]] Several people asked for the Duty to Warn letter. [[14 / 14]] UPDATE. Lot of homework. I don't believe this election was a MIM hack, per those c2000s. Subtler. Elegant. Huge use of money, lies and propaganda helped. But 600K votes (just enough) flipped swing states for Trump, but are left blank or went all Dem the down ballot? Must look harder. 08:01 AM - Nov 11, 2024
Gov. of Pennsylvania J. Shapiro, et al. Nov. 7th 2024
This is a formal Duty to Warn Letter. Per DNI Dir. Clappers 2015 directive to all agencies and
contractors associated with intelligence and financial agency technologies, I have a Duty to
Warn of suspicions of hacking, and have done so for my customers including Govt. Agencies,
Dept. of Defense, F100 firms and numerous banks. I do so here as a directly affected voter.
Nearly all of my investigations begin for one of two reasons. The hackers make a mistake
triggering a system issue and/or the aggregate effects of the hacking creates results outside
nominal expectations. There is a third and less common flag; an unrelated distraction to draw
attention away from the hacking.
All three of these indicators are present in the election of Nov. 5th 2024. Element three,
distraction via bomb-threats, is confirmed coming from Russian agencies. Element one is the
inexplicable mismatch of reported votes vs. voter turnout. Here in REDACTED County initial
tabulation was an absurdly low 67K votes when over 80K voters participated. Element two is
also present. Our local scanner systems worked in testing, but were unable to communicate
properly with tabulation systems after the bomb-scare. I note from experience - the failure of a
scanning systems to properly load a database is an extremely common development when a
system is changed without notice to the users. I have personally worked on similar issues where
sudden scanner configuration failures were the first symptoms of system hacking.
With these three elements present, I suggest immediately doing a relatively simple set of
preliminary checks. First, randomly selected precincts require manual comparisons of the
number of voters who took ballots vs the scanned output of vote totals. Those did not match
here in REDACTED County by apx 13K votes. Once added, those votes substantially changed
outcomes and led to the outright reversals in multiple REDACTED County races.
REDACTED County BOE now shows vote totals over 80K votes. Apx. 6% above 2020 turnout. In
my professional opinion every county in PA as well as many in WI, MI and GA currently
reporting lower vote totals vs. 2020 and/or also experienced a distraction bomb threat should
undertake the same process. My professional opinion is: many thousands of voters are being
disenfranchised, likely by a malicious actor via errors in tabulation software. My concern has
been proven correct and warranted here in REDACTED County, PA.

(55,008 posts)Have the feds show up a Mag a Lardo and seize his phone. Tell him they just received intel that confirmed Putin and Musk used a secret line of code beamed in by Starlink and that Musk was squealing like a pig and he would be 100% liable if tRump threw him under the bus. Donny would quickly admit it was all Leons fault and that he had nothing to do with it and wasnt guilty, and in the process, blab a bunch of incriminating information because we all know he cant keep his big fat mouth shut. Then the feds could let him know they never did speak to Leon and both he and Dump would be cooked like a Thanksgiving turkey.
tRump is really THAT stupid, and it would be THAT easy

(14 posts)Trump also over performed in deep red states and deep blues states. The results also matched exit polls. None of that is due to Starlink. I know it's hard to take, but our fellow citizens elected Trump. The election was not stolen.

(4,557 posts)Trump did better in '24 than he did in 20 in every single state, averaging 3.3% better overall. Harris only outperformed Biden in Maine (+0.1%), Utah (+0.9%) and Washington (+0.5%) with an overall average of -2.7%.

(7,087 posts).... it's a perfect election without a question of doubt about the counts.
Prove me wrong!
Show me the evidence where we Democrats went to court and lost 60 times over a presidential or any other election results.
I'll wait.................................................

(1,173 posts)One would hope that since there was no evidence of this happening in the last election, and it was looked at over and over, you hope that people would learn to trust the process.
If vote totals changed, there are audits in place that will find discrepancies. There is no easy way for the data set to be one thing before they are transmitted and something completely different after the data arrives without it raising alarms.
People who do these counts at county and state levels would notice it would take a lot of people to be involved and would be nearly impossible for votes and totals to change when they go from county, to state etc...
Sure skepticism is healthy but when you have one expectation and then get a result that doesn't fit, but let's wait for all the the first round of counting to finish, wait for the audits, ask your questions. But believing things without any evidence is why we still have people in our country that believe that Trump won in 2020.
