139. My skepticism comes from decades of government IT

Fri Oct 3, 2025, 08:32 PM

Friday

I have first hand knowledge of network security and how elections are run, which is why it’s so easy to dismiss the “how” piece of this conspiracy. The GOP provided the same type of statistical “analysis” in 2020, but everything fell to pieces when it came to trying to explain how it happened. Same thing here - the analysis is worthless unless you can explain the how, and no one has presented any options that stand up to scrutiny.

Oh, and let’s not forget that the Harris campaign has stated that they never led according to their polls, and that they have accepted the results. Time to move on.

You're missing the bit about the swing states using paper ballots Abnredleg Friday #42

I hope it did not sound like I was conveying that I thought the CT presented by the guest was LIKELY AZJonnie Friday #98

And how many check vote ballots do they run in their test. Less than 500? Festivito Saturday #155

It's not that past a certain threshold all votes were recorded for *rump questionseverything Friday #49

Depends on recounting paper ballots. We're not allowed to recount paper ballots. Festivito Friday #31

Paper ballots are counted during risk limiting audits /nt Abnredleg Friday #43

No they aren't, a small sample are counted not even an entire precinct questionseverything Friday #50

Yes, it is understood that audits work off samples Abnredleg Friday #52

Counting paper ballots openly and transparently would work too questionseverything Friday #56

The audits are done in front of observers Abnredleg Friday #61

No one is suggesting counting the entire county at once questionseverything Friday #66

I've yet to find an election official of either party Abnredleg Friday #72

Democracy demands transparency for the average citizen so questionseverything Friday #79

All parties have observers watching every step of the process Abnredleg Friday #90

Full public view means, where the public can see questionseverything Friday #97

There is a reason no election officials support hand counts Abnredleg Friday #99

Do you want a Smoking Gun? Botany Friday #54

How would they know which ballot to toss? Kaleva Friday #57

It's actually illegal to look at the paper ballots in Florida questionseverything Friday #64

Same in Michigan Kaleva Friday #128

It's not that they are tossing ballots questionseverything Saturday #153

But the person I had responded to said the voter had voted Kaleva Saturday #157

That's the point, the results published don't match what actually happened questionseverything Saturday #161

But the person I had responded to said the voter had voted Kaleva Saturday #158

But how do you match the ballot with the dem leaning voter? Kaleva Friday #130

I. D. K. Botany Friday #134

The point is they are publishing results that are inaccurate questionseverything Friday #136

Voter suppression is well documented going back to the 2000 presidential election. My point is that as long there are Fil1957 Friday #101
