FINALLY, Thank you Nancy Pelosi

Finally a top democratic politician is talking about what a lot of us have been saying for years. Greg Palast has done a lot of great investigatory work on republicans repressing the vote for years. Using the government’s own figures he showed that if the amount of legitimate voters who were removed from the voting rolls had been allowed to vote that Kamala would have won. The leadership ignored this . Quite as mice.

Scott Leiendecker, a trump supporter, buys dominion voting machines and not a peep from our side. Most people are not even aware of this.

So to read that Pelosi is stating that we need to be aware that republicans may hack voting machines is a good thing. We absolutely have to show up in huge numbers to overcome anything that a trapped rat ( republicans ) will do. This alarm needs to be repeated loud and often by our leaders to get as many as possible to vote.

Biden's margin was higher than the "official" result.

Republicons lie, cheat and steal. They've been doing it a long time

Now I want to see hundreds more elected officials - Democrats and Independents - also address this situation.

7. NO!!! Voting in massive numbers is NOT a remedy for PROGRAMMED voting machines!

All the people that keep trotting this out ARE PART of the problem! You don't understand what "programming" does! YOU are likely programmed to actually believe that somehow this problem can be "overcome" with numbers.

It. can. NOT.

All a simple program has to do inside the computer is say, for instance:

Every vote cast for candidate A will instantly take that vote and send it and other votes over to candidate B, until enough votes give B the majority. This generally happens at the central tabulators where the precinct ballots are sent to the government agency in charge of the election in that area, but it can also happen to actual voting machines at the precinct level.

Russia's algorithm is the template used for all of this. It has been shown that the Russian algorithm is what elon and his billionaire silicon valley oligarchs had their teams do to install this program into the machines in 2024. It also happened in 2016.

There is no remedy for this algorithm besides taking control of the voting machines and tabulators.

...the harder it will be to hide the hacked programming.

Analysis of the post electioin data - to include party affiliation numbers, exit polling, prior election results, etc. - would go a long way to proving that hacking/re-programming took place. Well-executed data science can reveal the web of lies.

If we vote in large numbers, it would be harder for them to claim that it was just an error within the margins of the backgroiund noise. The more who vote, the more amplified the effects of the hacking will appear.

Elections must be kept under local control. It must be bedrock law that both parties get to witness all vote counting and auditing of machines and software used to register votes. Total transparency of vote-collecting and vote-counting apparatus should be the rule of the day. By law, there should be no firewalls against inspections of these systems for "proprietary" reasons. It should all be open source.

part is us. We the people.

Over 8 million people showed up for No Kings 3/28. The organizers KNOW the Republicans plan to hack the voting machines JUST LIKE THE CRIMINAL THIEL DID WITH HIS PALANTIR. He created phantom counties to inflate the Trump/Vance ticket in return for a nice tax cut and massive government contracts. How else do you think there were so many so-called 'bullet ballots' (just marked Trump/Vance, nothing else) came through in PA? There is NO way Trump carried all six swing states. And we need to start talking about this ALL THE TIME. And acting on it.

Because of this the No Kings people are calling for a national strike on May 1.

See, we cannot just sit back and allow Congress and the Judicial system to continue to be ineffective in the face of this kakistocracy. These people are wreckers who went in the cabinet to destroy this republic.

So I plan to participate in the national strike on May 1 because I know we will have to stand up and go on a LONGER NATIONAL STRIKE after the Republicans try to fuck us by cheating this coming Nov. Will you?

Because the only thing these vile, immoral elites understand is money. They have been underestimating the power of the people for too long and my faith does not allow me to continue to cooperate with this evil regime.
