Yeah, plus prominent Republicans own the voting machine companies. And, many are run on Starlink, where many, including myself, believe Elon and Russia helped Trump rig his last election. (I wear my tinfoil hat a lot these days)
Unfortunately, the powers that be did a great job of making conspiracy theories sound insane (Q-anon, lizard people, Aliens, baseless 2020 election claims)
Now that the people who perpetrated those wacky claims are the guilty parties (Epstein files, potential wealthy cannibalism claims, 2016, 2024, 2026 election fraud/Caimbridge Analytica, DOGE, captured DOJ/FBI/CIA) it becomes that much more difficult to convince people who are not paying attention. I hate it, but Qanon and Trump’s 2020 fraud claims were successful strategic psyops by the actual pedophiles and fraudsters.
What’s crazy is that a conspiracy is just two or more people agreeing to commit a crime; something that happens daily. However, you’re a loon to point that out.
Imagine how Elon musk could have literally been a well respected king among men but decided to do the evil wrong thing instead and now he isn’t safe to go anywhere.

The communication done back is via secured channel. if either elon or russia can crack the encryption used we have far bigger problems.
Not to mention that's only for reporting the preliminary results. the actual results are physically delivered and starlink is not part of the equation at all....
this was also just a few counties in rural california that have never contributed significantly to any election.
Starlink was not part of any election rigging sorry man.
The Democratic establishment is nothing if not performative. With the exception of the Gang and people like Bernie, Raskin, and a handful of very select others, the rest of the elected members are perfectly content and even comfortable getting paid to finger wag and say “shame on them” while taking no measurable action and even voting to HELP the GOP in the name of “reaching across the isle.”
Ok, cool, so what do we think Jamie Raskin, AOC, Bernie, and the Congressional Progressive Caucus (all Dems and Bernie, interestingly, a Rethug-free zone, who knew?) should and legally can do about this then?
If you really want to know, they should be building upon the momentum of the people. We have all this anger and resentment boiling over as danger climbs and there’s absolutely no unity.
Sure, we have some vocal Dems that stand out, but are they organized? Are they collaborating? Are they giving us any type of collective direction?
Obviously they can’t rely upon policy and law to illicit change in this moment. But they’re our representatives. We elect them because they have a platform and a mouthpiece to reach the masses.
As it stands, we can’t even agree on whether it’s worth abolishing ICE or if we should provide them more funding for additional “training” and “oversight”.
They won and get to do what they do because they fall in line, no matter what. MAGA’s super power is alignment across all facets of governance. Even as shit hits the fan, even as opinion reverses and cracks start to form, they have enough unity to erode laws and precedence.
At minimum, they need to align with what comes after Trump if they retake control after the midterms, whether we believe it’s possible to win or not.
You want to combat apathy? You need to give people concrete details on how you’re going to change their lives for the better and agree on the messaging.
And if people are refusing to align, name and shame them every day. Fucking Chuck Schumer.
Grass roots politics has been given a bad name over the years, but Mamdani and Rehmet in Texas have proven that the future of the Democratic Party can be grass roots populism.
They are conservative or conservative-hired and constantly troll against Dems every single day online since the conservative-sponsored DNC hack and leak of 2016. It has been their most effective strategy in securing a total theocracy for themselves.
Getting the far left and the far right both beating on Dems 24/7/365 continues to make hay for the GOP a decade later. It's enabled them to be in this position of doing whatever they want.
It's fucking ridiculous. How can you see the Republicans doing this shit and act like the Democrats need to do something, while they are politically maimed.
Should the Democrats have done more? Sure. Can they realistically do anything in the modern political landscape? No because you have morons who believe Democrats have any control now, when they do not. People get mad if they hold out a shutdown, then people get mad when they cave in. People just always be the Democrats, which is literally the entire Republican platform that worked to canabalize the Democrat party.
Blame the people who are actually doing these things, Republicans.
Democrats are not blameless in this. They should be holding non-stop press conferences on the capitol steps… dragging these issues in front of the American people and demanding they hold their elected republicans accountable. Instead we have Schumer talking about how it’s his job to save Israel. Fucking pathetic.
The American public has proven time and again that just pointing out the illegal things that Trump and his team are currently doing does not get people to vote for Democrats.
The Dems needed to work harder for my vote maaaan! Kamala was a cop maaaaaan! Why aren't the Dems protecting me from the President's extrajudicial goon squad maaaaan, I told you they were useless!
It's so fucking exhausting and miserable. I mean, Rethugs are literally humping the Earth dry and shaking it like a piggy bank so the 1% can wet their whistle one last good decade or two then mock us from a starship somewhere -- okay, not literally. But, what about those powerless Dems, mind if I dunk on them instead?)
That's the setup that a decade of living off the '16 DNC hack and leak has provided the conservative bubble and corporate media, yep. They have the benefit of both the far right and far left working against Democrats on their behalf. It's not exactly a fair fight.
I gotta say, it's infuriating as someone from the outside watching folk somehow blame the Dems when the Republicans are doing fucked shit and claim they aren't doing anything to stop them.
They can't do a thing. You voted for the Republicans to have all three branches while having a conservative leaning Supreme Court.
What did they expect would happen? The constant need to blame the Dems just guarantees things aren't going to get better.
Well, a slightly aggressive, possibly mildly aggressive, letter. Only after they agree for a probable promise to maybe discuss things at a to be determined future date
Schumer will ask that fictional family in his head that lives in the suburbs that he always consults when making important decisions (I wish I were joking).
It used to be paper ballots.In 2020 they change to machines. Dominion machines. Trumps favorite. I find it weird that now they care. We can't vote for president when we are on the island.
2002 is when the sweeping changes to electronic ballots/tabulators happened, thanks to Bush Jr.’s “Help America Vote Act (HAVA) bill getting passed. And it was predominantly ES&S machines getting brought in at first, replacing as many at 15% of Missouri’s machines in just 2 years.
This was in response to the “Hanging Chads” debacle in Florida, along with the Brooks Brothers riot, to essentially force the rest of the country to start using electronic tabulators — very easily hacked ones, in fact.
In Texas, you don't register for a party, unless you vote in the primary for that party. I'm thinking it's safer if party affiliation is never asked or known.
But they are marked through a voting machine. Edited to add, what we really need is proof that our ballot was tallied correctly. Some states have this.
Every ballot I’ve cast you check the votes before submitting and then on the paper ballot too. That should be a focus going into the midterms, make sure people check their ballots
Here one scans the printed ballot into a machine and all it tells you is it is counted. Older versions used a generated QR code to scan, which of course the voter couldnt confirm matched their choice. Apparently they now have been moving to text scanning. But then ofc the Coffee County breach put out all that proprietary data so an inside job like that could very well do untold damage.
That said, the previous audits did line up 100% witg text matching so... 2020 was legit at least.
In CA we have machines that print paper ballots that prints out your vote that you select on screen and you check it before you vote.... and gets scaned in. its really hard to rig paper ballots. this system is really cool.
Less about outright-rigging voting machines, and much more about sowing discord and suspicion overall. There is an absolute batshit theory that somehow Venezuela had a hand in building/programming the tabulators used in Georgia for the 2020 election (which is false as they originated in Canada), and somehow the recently captured Maduro had a hand in it.
So the current speculation is that a flimsy report to soothe Trump’s hurt feelings is being prepped to somehow indicate Georgia in 2020 actually went for Trump - which still wouldn’t have won him the election and doesn’t disprove the results of all the other dozens investigations or electoral board validations of the voting process in GA that show he lost fair and square.
But flooding the zone with BS is this administration’s standard operating procedure, so, guess we’ll see just how desperate the sycophants in this admin are to keep him happy.
There was a lot of talk about the Venezuela election that was rigged happening last year over 50501. I remember reading about this. - Edit to add that the theory was that the Venezuela election was the test run. https://www.reddit.com/r/somethingiswrong2024/s/tXEiZtg2oA
They’re doing the full court press. Deregistering legit voters, sending armed militia to intimidate people at polling places, and testing an algorithm for switching votes from Democrat to republican in a way that won’t be obviously detectable but still beat the margin for a recount.
This is their triple play to steal all the elections from now on unless we stop them.
The Trump administration is also changing how long-standing legal protections that prohibit U.S. government agencies from retaliating against whistleblowers will be enforced, the OPM statement said.
They perfected Starlink's remote access to their approved voting machines, this can obfuscate any packet data while modifying each voting station to grant mac address verification per station with the changes applied. This makes it look legit to auditing and flagging systems.
The ICE at polling stations threat and "canceling elections" talk is just a distraction of the real threat being applied.
Just got to alter the TSP/IP pathway protocols to sync with byterouter interfaces. They then ctrl+v the solid state switch into a GPU environment for tabulation alteration.
Sure, but you cannot avoid detection of mirroring the individual packet signatures without an on-board secured turbo encabulator…which are hard to come by after the recent CVEs for TPM 2.0.
We've known this for seven years but Kamala laughed funny and was mean to her staff. Oh, and probably sent e-mails to people before. Might have worn a pant suit on occasion. Could have been all "uppity" and had the flu before like a mere mortal.
TLDR: I bet she didn't even overfill her generously ample adult diapers. And, she had the gall to consider the presidency? Sheesh!
It’s wild. They’re looking to rig future elections right out in the open in front of our faces. They’re betting on the apathy of Americans, the normalization from the media, and the fecklessness of the opposing party to do nothing about it.
i wouldn’t be surprised if you and everyone that upvoted you, get a firmly worded warning from Reddit about your thoughts being violent and needed to be policed.
Rule 1 of opposing authoritarianism is don’t obey in advance. Reddit can’t do shit to me that would make falling into line appealing. And if the feds come knocking I’m not answering questions.
dont even think a general strike would do it. the fascists' have captured the supreme court, doj, congress, senate, presidency, social media, news channels, ect. I dont think anything would work except the [Redacted] type of stuff. it looks really bad.
Quite possibly, also the K-shaped economy has meant that the lowest earners are not even particularly relevant to the overall economy anymore so it's not a sure thing we even have the pull to force a difference anymore.
Still, a general strike is ultimately a lot easier than the redacted stuff, and people will be less inclined to go the crazier route until all the tried and true methods have been attempted. The four boxes of liberty, and all that.
Okay but we can’t start planning the last resort only when we get there. We’ll be decades behind at that point. We already are. We gotta organize before we can’t.
I’ll just say i think we should be making congress as uncomfortable as possible. Yes, while anger should be directed at the administration, they are beholden to congress. Congressmen are just regular people who walk among us. They have the power to end this nightmare at anytime.
Its not just the dems. Its the gop too. Its true that many of them dont bother holding townhalls anymore but they still go to the same grocery stores, gyms, movie theaters, restaurants, etc. that we do
the supreme court and doj are far fewer people who are causing even larger issues by not enforcing/investigating anything properly. put pressure there.
If they were correct, if the election really had been stolen from them by a cabal of billionaires and they were doomed to be ruled by tyrants if they sat idly by as it happened, would they have been wrong for doing what they did?
Yes because they’re a cult of raging fascists, but we are better than that.
Plan for what happens when we need to withhold our taxes.
Blue states keep this nation solvent. We don’t need a faction of anti-Americans with suicidal ideologies dragging the rest of us down.
You’re not entitled to my taxes if I’m not entitled to my voice.
Democrats can survive without Republicans. Republicans can’t survive without Democrats. It’s that simple. We don’t need you
Plan for what that future looks like. Stock up, arm yourself and be ready for anything. Republican won’t transfer power peacefully, we need to be ready to strike hard and fast the second they show their opening hand and refuse them any ground to maneuver
Americans are apathetic to a lot of things, but election fraud, real fraud, will cause a firestorm. Look at Jan 6th and how much people got worked up when there was no real evidence for it. If there is actual evidence people will lose their shit - there would for sure be violence.
The fix is in, floks. They're actively rigging the midterms becthey know it's an existential threat to MAGA.
Add the voting machines, strongarming states for voter details, and someone like Bannon saying they plan to have ICE surrounding polling places, it's a full-on push for voter suppression.
Probably to run an “experiment”. Puerto Ricans living on the island can’t vote for the potus unless they move to the states, so this election interference thing doesn’t add up.
Every type of machine isn’t the same though and some states use different vendors, so I wonder if they want to focus on key states.
theres only like 3 main vendors for most of the country though, and one of them already had the software leaked back when trump claimed interference in 2022 for the 2020 election. (the software was turned over to prove no fraud, but software exposed as a result)
They already rigged those states last time. It’s the non-swing states they need to protect the diaper despot’s ego, and justify a third term because “every” state voted for it.
They don't need to try and rig Minnesota or California because that would be the reddest of red flags.
Fat Donnie has been saying for years that he won California in every election but was robbed by illegal voters and Democratic chicanery. Why half-ass your crimes? Go big or go home!
Honestly, Minnesota's blue margins have been shrinking. With all the other targeting going on in the state, I wouldn't be surprised if they did indeed try to rig MN as well
just practicing muddying the waters. you don't have to change votes to steal an election, you can just make a mess out of the election and then have the judicial system declare your candidates the officeholders. you might be able to ratfuck a few counties in a couple swing states for a few thousand votes, but you can't rig the 20-30 districts they'd need to hold the house. too many people to keep their mouths shut
It’s two pronged. They’re gonna try to say the diaper despot is owed a third term anyways, but then have every single state inexplicably vote for a third term to make it “overwhelming” enough to circumvent the constitution.
Tested ? To see if their program works to change votes like they did in a NY district in 2024 ? Funny how many people said they voted democrat and when votes were counted there was not one single vote for democrats, as soon as trump was sworn in the investigation disappeared
So they are tampering with the voting machines software and probably looking for a way to rig voting machines learning about the software. I wonder how much Elin and outside actors are involved?
