Should DU demand a recount? [View all]

I've copied a post below about a Daily Kos article re: cause for vote recounts. I wonder if we at DU could start a campaign to contact the appropriate people to insist on a recount. Maybe some pressure to act from voters will help get the ball rolling.

However I haven't been able to access the article to even know what is being done. I've tried opening an account to see if that gives me access but I'm not getting confirmation on the account. I'm not getting emails at all right now so I can't even determine whether the article is still available on Daily Kos. Someone else said they signed in but still didn't get access. Is there anyone able to access this article? If not, Is there a way to contact Daily Kos about this? If so, is there a way to get us access to the article?

Should we be contacting swing state Democratic governors, Kamala and Tim, Marc Elias about this? I tend to assume that the relevant people would be on something that is credible, but I'm not sure. Dems are so determined to not rock the boat over election results. Now is not the time to worry about appearances, we should make sure no stone is unturned. This might be our last chance to actually check the results of an election.




OP from ScubaSteve:

Rigged? Computer Security Experts Urge Harris To Demand Hand Recount
From the Daily KOS:

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/11/16/2286632/-Rigged-Computer-Security-Experts-In-Dual-Duty-To-Warn-Letters-Urge-Harris-To-Demand-Hand-Recount?pm_campaign=front_page&pm_source=latest_community&pm_medium=web

Much of the alarm revolves around so-called "bullet ballots". They are cast ballots with only one candidate in a single race selected and no down ballot choices made. Approximately 600,000 bullet ballot votes were logged for Donald Trump with no down ballot choices made in the seven swing states.

“In every swing state, but not in their neighbor states, voters cast 100x or more Trump bullet ballots than any prior election,” wrote Spoonamore Tuesday on “X”, a week after election day. “Where are these precincts? They are where to audit.”

North Carolina stands out as the “most extreme case” for suspect votes. More than 350,000 voters cast votes for Trump and no other race on their ballots, making up 11% of Trump bullet ballots. In all these cases, Spoonamore emphasizes, these suspect votes would have been electronically created with no paper record. Hence, the dire need for hand recounts in the seven swing states.

“It is very simple to prove this (fraud),” wrote Spoonamore in an “X” post. “Take the two most outlandish precinct results from any county and just hand count the ballots. They won't match the tabulation outputs.”

He has sent Harris a "Duty to Warn" letter stating she needs to question the outcome of the election. He says the presidential vote was willfully compromised. But hey, as he states pick 2 of the most ridiculous results and hand count them. If they match then no harm no foul, but if they are off by 100,000's...
