7. I have a neighbor who told me she was first in line at our polling place
Sun Feb 9, 2025, 01:18 PM
Feb 2025

who told me that after she voted she couldn't get the machine that count's the votes to take her. She asked for help and somebody came and the machine was replaced. She asked if her vote was counted and was told "yes". Likely it was what it was but it does show how trusting we are of believing what we are told by those in charge.

It is NOT too late to do something constructive. Bluetus Feb 2025 #62
Agreed. I and others, were asking for paper ballot hand recounts, yellow dahlia Feb 2025 #87

I have no doubt this election was stolen. MiKenMi33 Feb 2025 #6

Harris should have demanded recounts in several states. colorado_ufo Feb 2025 #44
Yes. I was screaming it from the rooftops. yellow dahlia Feb 2025 #91
Exactly right! MiKenMi33 Feb 2025 #109
So now your conspiracy theory is so ridiculous that you are accusing Harris of being complicit? tritsofme Feb 2025 #110
That is not at all what I'm saying. MiKenMi33 Feb 2025 #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 2025 #133
Er . . .. no - she just should have confirmed the loss or fought for her legitimate win. colorado_ufo Feb 2025 #130
Harris did confirm her loss when she conceded. tritsofme Feb 2025 #132
There is a difference between acknowledgement and confirmation. colorado_ufo Feb 2025 #135
Ok...did so did she not do that on January 6th while presiding over the certification of the election? tritsofme Feb 2025 #136
You could view it that way, but presiding over the certification was a requirement of her position.. colorado_ufo Feb 2025 #137
There was no reason to ask for recounts. None of the states were close enough to warrant it. tritsofme Feb 2025 #138
Thank you for a thoughtful discussion. colorado_ufo Feb 2025 #139

It's the tabulation formula in the software kimbutgar Feb 2025 #29
And how are they accessing those computers? Wiz Imp Feb 2025 #36
The software is written in the tabulation code and it doesn't need to be connected to the internet. kimbutgar Feb 2025 #41
And how is that getting on the computers? Wiz Imp Feb 2025 #42
The machines need specific coded software to run the tabulations that's all kimbutgar Feb 2025 #56
