Funny a couple days after the election it came to me that they hacked the machines kimbutgar Feb 9 #4
I have a neighbor who told me she was first in line at our polling place elocs Feb 9 #7
I think that's why the🍑💩🤡 demanded that our Governor Newsom do away with mail in voting kimbutgar Feb 9 #25
I've said from the get-go: Harris did NOT LOSE LSparkle Feb 9 #28
I believe you are right. Alliepoo Feb 9 #43
I, and others, were jumping up and down and pushing for recounts - yellow dahlia Feb 9 #82
I feel the same as you calguy Feb 9 #57
It is NOT too late to do something constructive. Bluetus Feb 9 #62
Agreed. I and others, were asking for paper ballot hand recounts, yellow dahlia Feb 9 #87
Just remember, the loudest voices aren't necessarily the majority Bluetus Feb 9 #99
I too was disappointed.. returnee Feb 9 #72
Agreed. Psychological warfare. yellow dahlia Feb 9 #88
They will control the next election also. yellow dahlia Feb 9 #85

Yes. Which is why I wish the Dems would focus on saving Democracy, yellow dahlia Feb 10 #124
Yup! And those of us who have been saying this have had some push back yellow dahlia Feb 9 #81
I had the same impression. yellow dahlia Feb 9 #79

Harris should have demanded recounts in several states. colorado_ufo Feb 9 #44
Yes. I was screaming it from the rooftops. yellow dahlia Feb 9 #91
Exactly right! MiKenMi33 Feb 10 #109
So now your conspiracy theory is so ridiculous that you are accusing Harris of being complicit? tritsofme Feb 10 #110
That is not at all what I'm saying. MiKenMi33 Feb 10 #114
The Harris team isn't hanging on the edge of their seats waiting for Palast to release his next tranche of nonsense. tritsofme Feb 10 #133
Er . . .. no - she just should have confirmed the loss or fought for her legitimate win. colorado_ufo Feb 10 #130
Harris did confirm her loss when she conceded. tritsofme Feb 10 #132
There is a difference between acknowledgement and confirmation. colorado_ufo Feb 10 #135
Ok...did so did she not do that on January 6th while presiding over the certification of the election? tritsofme Feb 10 #136
You could view it that way, but presiding over the certification was a requirement of her position.. colorado_ufo Feb 10 #137
There was no reason to ask for recounts. None of the states were close enough to warrant it. tritsofme Feb 10 #138
Thank you for a thoughtful discussion. colorado_ufo Feb 10 #139
Harris should have demanded people GOTV. n/t DiamondShark Feb 10 #128

It's the tabulation formula in the software kimbutgar Feb 9 #29
And how are they accessing those computers? Wiz Imp Feb 9 #36
The software is written in the tabulation code and it doesn't need to be connected to the internet. kimbutgar Feb 9 #41
And how is that getting on the computers? Wiz Imp Feb 9 #42
The machines need specific coded software to run the tabulations that's all kimbutgar Feb 9 #56
And how does that software get on the machines? Wiz Imp Feb 9 #59

How did Trump win the popular vote? He has yet to poll over 50% Maraya1969 Feb 9 #31

Disagree strongly -- all OUR legal votes may not have been counted LSparkle Feb 9 #32
I'll listen to any proof you think you have, unless it's Greg Palast type BS. I think VP Harris would have filed law Silent Type Feb 9 #37
