Maybe it would be worthwhile for Americans to recognize that their elections have been corrupted at the data level.

If they ignore it, they're asking the corrupt actors to do it again, whenever they really care about the results.

I did help create a whole organization to pursue this and we will be defending the public right to access ballots in the courts in more than one state.

Everything is predicated on us "gaining a good deal of the narrative" we will be attacked, and we need everyone batting these back with us.

I have another perspective for you all. The country may have voted for her, Election Truth Alliance and Smart Elections are finding issues everywhere they turn. It may be collectively enough to have overturned the outcome. Which means the people of America are still just who you think they are.

It shouldn’t surprise us, that we see evidence that the Rs cheated in 2024 and even in 2020 and 2016.
What is surprising is the extent we are finding it. It correlates to a few tabulator brands used on ~70% of the vote. Malware is invisible, so it’s not pollworkers fault. We have all been hacked!

Computer scientists at Hopkins demonstrated “invisible” result-changing methods on the then-new voting machines back around 2002 or so. It just needed a flash drive plugged into an access port for a few seconds.
Nothing was done.
GOP election results have been statistically skewed for years.

Haven’t seen much about the 2024 election with distractions upon distractions, such as, gerrymandering, ICE disappearings, Epstein, international hits on potential refugees, etc., etc.

How does a candidate actually LOSE counted votes?!

He cheated in 2016 and they buried the Mueller report. He cheated in 2020 and got away with it... even though some fake electors went to jail.

Havel’s insight must never be forgotten. Tim Snyder kept it alive. Asha Rangappa has reinvigorated it
Vaclav Havel wrote about the importance of pointing out the law in a totalitarian society - it may not help in a situation where the government makes and enacts laws willy-nilly, but calling it out keeps the insanity of it all in the open for all to see.

Agreed! In today’s Supreme Court, Jimmy Kimmel would have an extremely strong First Amendment claim against Trump’s FCC for pressuring Disney and ABC to censor fully protected commentary by firing Kimmel. Either 8-1 or 9-0.

If you have the capacity, it is time to start organizing and get out in the streets with a bunch of people, loudly, if at all possible.

Make signs. Find an Indivisible. Get some friends to come with you.

Don't worry about doing it perfectly.

Just do it. It's that time.
