Trump "won" - Election fraud - time for it to be exposed

There is a group that has been analyzing the voting data from 2024's election where Trump "won".
The group is comprised of statisticians and data analysts.
It looks like they have analized enough data and have decided to go public with their results.
They are giving it a month and then the big reveal.

Just curious, why do you trust the 1%ers that own the voting machine companies to count your votes? We see they have no problem starving people, tossing them out in the cold street or denying them healthcare, so why do you think 1%ers rigging voting software systems crosses the line?

NYC is going to hand count over 8 million ballots? Just the president or the senators & reps too? What about all the other candidates & issues they vote on? Do we hand count those too? They've done tests & there are big error rates with hand counted ballots.

My state has paper ballots that are mailed out to the majority of voters & the ballots are then run though a tabulator at the county level. The counties perform bipartisan audits on the counts. While nothing is absolutely tamper proof or fool proof, there are ways to secure the process. --on edit:: I'm more concerned about the disenfranchisement of tens of thousands of voters than actual digital theft.

I totally believe there were a ton of democratic men or democratically leaning men who wouldn't vote for a woman. Not that they voted for Trump, but they left it blank. Maybe they saw the enthusiasm & thought Harris had it in the bag. IDK, but misogyny is still huge in this country, more so than other developed nations.

Personally I would be happy with hand counting the top two federal races as long as recounts were easily available for other races if a problem came up

Even before mail in voting, at the precinct level the ballots were only counted to match the number of ballots to the poll book. The actual tabulating of candidates & issues was done at the county level. The first time I voted my ballot was a punch card run through a digital counter. We aren't going back to hand counted ballots.

on edit: This is how it was done where I vote. States have different laws & methods. One of my arguments for standardized voting is that it's undemocratic that voting in Colorado is easier than voting in other states.

Hand Counting Ballots
Nearly all election jurisdictions across the country use voting machines to count ballots because they are more accurate, faster, and cheaper than counting all ballots by hand.

https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/hand-counting-ballots-explained/
Election experts oppose hand-counting ballots. Here's why.

https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/hand-counting-votes-proven-bad-idea
Hand-Counting Votes: A Proven Bad Idea
Efforts to replace modern voting machines with hand-counting are based on false conspiracy theories. But the machines do still need to be protected and kept up to date.

https://time.com/7071959/election-2024-hand-count-ballots/
Why Hand Counting Ballots Could Create an Election Disaster
A study from Rice University estimated that hand counts got the results right just 58% of the time. Machine-based voting has an error rate of less than 1%, according to two decades of research.


It would actually be easier to "steal" an election if it were mandated all votes must be counted by hand. It's why the Democratic Party file lawsuits against the State of Georgia to prevent a law being enacted that required just that.

Despite all the evidence against the practice, Georgia’s top elections board is plowing ahead with a scheme to count by hand every ballot in a state of more than 8 million registered voters.

The frankly ludicrous decision came about after the five-person board found itself overrun by election deniers. The boneheaded move has drawn bipartisan criticism, including Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp.

This is exactly why Democrats on Sept. 30 filed a lawsuit to block this potential folly. It’s got a good chance to proceed, as even Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State says the election board waited too long to institute such a dramatic change of rules.

While shutting down Georgia’s hand count plan could spur conspiracy theories that the vote is rigged, keeping it in place could do even more damage to trust in the state’s elections. Despite right-wing conspiracy theories about inaccurate voting machines and a desire to go back to paper-and-ink ballots, the perils of hacking or tinkering are just not justified. Fueled by disinformation and sheer cynicism, Trump’s belief that the 2020 election was stolen simply has no basis in fact.

Here's just one of the bios for someone on the Smart Elections team:

Mr. Smith serves on the Technical Advisory Team for SMART Elections. He was featured in a PBS News Hour segment on “What election officials think about paper ballots and voting machines.” He is best known for his proof of concept research examining election system vulnerabilities. It was covered by Bloomberg in its Cyber Security Segment and he was profiled in a cover story by Bloomberg Businessweek. He is currently a Tennessee Elections Commissioner, as well as a software developer who works in analytics and innovation.

Smith has developed expansive business and technical skills throughout his career. In government, as a liaison between elected officials and IT, Smith was a software developer maintaining City of Memphis applications for the Traffic Violations Bureau, Memphis Police and Internal Affairs.

He developed applications for lender auditing at First Tennessee Bank, and production metrics at International Paper.

The other bios are just as impressive, if not more.

Hillary lost Wisconsin by about 22,000 votes, Harris lost by just under 30,000 votes

That’s less than 7 votes a precinct (average) and some of those precincts literally have hundreds of undervotes

As long as we rely on computers and electronic software systems we will never really know if we won or not, democracy demands transparency

I’m not saying anyone “knows “ the election was stolen


My point is always the same, we, the American public deserve open transparent election counts and that can only be done with hand counting paper ballots and a tight chain of custody


Since the brooks brothers riots we have seen republicans trying to stop legitimate election counts and unfortunately for a lot of people that quiets them… then toss in some one calling names and being hurtful that silences more people

None of their cases went forward. Trump lost 60 cases. No comparison whatsoever.

Snip of what was posted at X:

The Rockland County, NY election interference case has moved forward. The lawsuit by election security and advocacy organization SMART Elections seeks a hand recount on U.S. Senate and White House election races in Rockland County. This could trigger an annulment of the 2024 election results. -

That’s not going to change any swing states or even the results in NY, why aren’t they focusing in an area where it might actually make a difference?

One county in a Blue state being sloppy or having defective equipment isn’t indicative of a nationwide election fraud conspiracy. How is that going to trigger a nationwide recount of a certified election and overturn it.

It’s over, this is just false hope.

Are going to reverse the entire Presidential election? Ok….

Key Findings:

Sworn voter affidavits reveal missing ballots

District 39 (Exhibit A): Nine voters signed sworn statements saying they cast ballots for Diane Sare in the U.S. Senate race. The Rockland County Board of Elections recorded just five votes - a nearly 50% shortfall.

District 62 (Exhibit B): Five voters said they voted for Sare; the Rockland County Board of Elections recorded three - a 40% deficit.

Thu Jun 5, 2025, 08:09 AM

we would still have voter purges in Democratic areas, longer waits in Democratic areas, and those bomb scares that shut polling places in Democratic areas. These are all serious issues that effected the outcome of the election. Without those issues, as well as the Republican corporate media, we would have had a different winner.

However, statistical analysis publicized by Election Truth Alliance suggests that hand counts alone would give a different count, with a different winner. Perhaps the lying media, the crooked state run elections, and the bomb scares originating in Russia, weren't enough to give Trump the victory without programming the tabulators to cheat as well. I would want that possibility to be ruled out so we can concentrate on eliminating the other factors.

We made it hard to come back with the claim, on our side, that he did indeed steal it. Our leadership said "We've got it," but they fell asleep at the wheel. They didn't have it and he stole it.

54. Why do people cling to insidious conspiracy theories?
Wed Jun 4, 2025, 03:14 PM
Jun 2025


https://phys.org/news/2025-04-people-conspiracy-theories-subconscious-quest.html


While all people are innately driven to find meaning in their lives, this subconscious desire pulls some people to conspiracy theories and dangerous belief systems.

After an extensive review of psychological research, renowned social psychologist Arie Kruglanski and journalist Dan Raviv show how people's need for 'significance' propels our actions, governs our feelings, and dominates our thoughts in their new book "The Quest for Significance".

"Experts on human motivation contend that all people share the same set of basic needs, and everything people do, try to attain, or avoid is in the service of satisfying one or more of those basic needs," they explain.

"The need for significance and mattering is one such preeminent basic need that all people have."

Drawing on both academic, peer-reviewed research and the personal experiences of the authors, including Kruglanski's childhood in Poland during the Holocaust, the authors explore how this need for meaning can motivate people towards harmful and even violent acts—including believing conspiracy theories. They also suggest that self-awareness is key to how people can avoid becoming susceptible.

The authors spotlight factors that make modern society "fraught with uncertainty," from financial chaos to the Ukraine war, the rise of authoritarians, and global health crises.

4 swing states all flip for trump and have thousands more votes in the senate races than the presidential races

When there is a high undervote in the top race it should be looked at closely because usually the top ticket gets the most votes with totals falling off as you go down the ballot

But they have gone way past that and dove into neighborhoods, got sworn affidavits about how people voted that prove the results posted are incorrect

And they show every piece of evidence

Not like rudy

And the logical explanation has always been that people didn't give a shit about the Presidential race. That they were tired of it. That they disliked both candidates. Occum's razor doesn't point to some conspiracy that this random guy figured out how to game the system. And if he DID figure out how to game it, why didn't he swing some of the other races that would have helped him?

like the gerrymandered ones that let Republicans control the house with a minority of votes, right?

Georgia has a law that any person can challenge any voter's registrations. A handful of people (Republicans) challenged many thousands of voters in Democratic areas, resulting in disqualifications that probably changed the outcome of the vote.

And no state has state employees who program the tabulators that sum up the machine totals. We rely on private companies with proprietary software, so how could the states know to report errors without a hand count?

Musk attacked EVMs that they can be hacked. He said "Anything can be hacked." He got into with India's Chandrasekhar. Chandrasekhar said " where they (USA) use regular computer platforms to build internet connected voting machines." "Indian EVMs are custom designed, secure and isolated from any network or media."
Trump signed an EO on 2/18/25 to "reign in" independent agencies. The Federal Election Commission in charge of campaign finance laws and the Election Assistance Commission that is in charge of EVMs intrigrity.
As a side the first EVMs came out in 1976. 1998 Trump was being investigated for Russian ties. The Taj Mahal casino broke anti-money laundering rules 106 times. The gamblers who cashed out $10,000 or more in a single day. The settlement was the largest fine the federal government gave a casino for violating the Bank Secrecy Act. They were laundering money using slot machines.
Ivanka secured trademarks for EVMs. She applied in 2016 and got them in 2019.
In 2024 Tina Peters was sentenced to 9 years of prison. She allowed a man to misuse a security card to access Mesa County election system and being deceptive about the man's identity. 3 counts of attempting to influence a public servant. 1 count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation. 1st degree official misconduct, violation of duty and failing to comply with the secretary of state. The man was affiliated with Mike Lindell. James Baker had brought up these concerns in the Commission. The issue was setting up the machines for the upcoming election what was focused on was the Big Lie.
Dr. Hugh Thompson, Florida Institute of Technology, " Tabulators are EASILY hacked, both before and after the election. Votes can be changed in as little as 60 seconds if someone has access to the machine. Therefore no, one other than poll workers should be allowed into the room where the Tabulator is located. Physically and securely transport the data from where the votes were cast to where they are counted rather than using a modem. Memory cards should be treated with the same security as a box of ballots or a Brink's truckload of money. Unlike transporting money there is No Way to know the content of the memory cards as they leave the polling stations, nor does the person receiving the data know what to expect so any tampering on the way cannot, in any way, be detected."
Dr. Avid Rubin, John Hopkins University, "Because of the myriad problems possible at every stage of the electronic voting process and the possibility that the software in the Tabulator might be faulty or even rigged, it is a good idea to reconcile the precinct counts by hand to check that the numbers that come out of the Tabulator,at the end of the process, match the actual precinct totals." Dr. Rubin led a team that analyzed code from Diebold and found flaws that basic training in secure code would prevent. " The only way vendors are going to produce auditable machines is if they are forced to." "We still don't have a process for ensuring that people writing the code of those machines know what they are doing, or are not malicious."
James Baker, "The greater threat to most systems is not from external hackers but from insiders who have direct access to the machines. Software can be modified maliciously before being installed into individual voting machines. There is no reason to trust insiders in the election industry any more than in other industries such as gambling, where sophisticated insider fraud has occurred despite extraordinary measures to prevent it."
Back to Trump's 106 times of money laundering.
