I'm an election inspector and a GOP election district rep in Irondequoit NY. I worked early election last Saturday and will work next Saturday and on election day with my wife. We plan to vote this coming Saturday. Thank you for putting the talents God gave you to try and save our constitutional republic. Lord bless you and your family!
Totally agree. I will never trust an election process that uses computers and mail-in ballots. Like Naomi Wolf so simply said, "As I keep trying to explain to everyone, televising a physical process of any kind that also includes an electronic scanner is meaningless theater. The only way to make sure that the votes have been counted properly is to see the code. Which the machine manufacturers claim is proprietary. So you nee a cyber audit.
There is a military axiom that states that no plan survives first contact with the enemy. That is very similar to Mike Tyson's, "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth". Assuming some degree of competency - and one should never underestimate an opponent - the opponent will always have input into the direction and nature of the action.
I too trust that Team Trump has a fair degree of insight into how election cheating was performed in 2020, and is performed generally. However, I worry that voting early provides the "enemy" intel. into how many fake ballots they need to create and/or time to develop other counters; think stopping the counting at midnight, only to resume at 0300, with lots of yet uncounted Harris ballots, type scenarios; only sooner in the process so as to not look overtly suspicious. That said, it is always good to do the unexpected, which forces the enemy into reactionary mode. Mistakes are more likely to occur when reacting quickly, under pressure.
True, but no matter what you do, there is contact and information transfer. Also, voting early gives data to the Trump team earlier, potentially giving them a high ground advantage. For instance, by reinforcing the impression of his popularity among voters. This high ground also creates a "low ground" for the enemy, because it forces them to react at the last minute, when there is less time available for their evil machinations. They have tried to increase that time with late voting or late counting, but it is still about 30 days less than our team has.
The key heartening tidbit of information in this post is that knowledge and discussion of your algorithm research has penetrated the doors of Mar a Lago. Fingers crossed that the team there recognizes the import of your analyses, and utilizes it with actionable legal process.
Kudos. My story and sentiments coincide exactly with yours. Additionally, the rationale I posted on telegram was this: Trump knows more than all the rest of us put together as he has access to ALL of the "inside" information. I couldn't figure it out, but hung my hat on this. If he says vote early, which goes against the grain of all of "the experts" (many who I have gotten to know personally and have great respect for), THERES'S A DAMNED GOOD REASON! Andrew, I voted yesterday, too!
Keep your individual radar "ON" re Trump's decision-making. Trump is also publicly flattering Speaker Mike Johnson recently. I'm praying and trusting DJT is on top of the game and that move is calculated to create and benefit a peace-making Deal for the greatest good of all. Time will tell.
I saw that too, and wondered what was going on there. Trump likes to make deals, even with China, North Korea, and Russia. Maybe it's like that. I hope it isn't like the Covid vaccine, the only thing that really bothered me about Trump's first administration.
At the Al Smith dinner he also flattered Kathy Hochul…”Good Job”…you can use some help from the federal government…and mayor Adams…he wished him luck…Kirsten Gillibrand…he thanked her for working hard.
This was 10 days before the Madison Square Garden Mega Rally.
Trump is nice to the politicians he perceives are not taking shots at him.
This non-politician knows how the game is played before a big election.
I think I’ll vote today because it’s garbage day and you probably heard Biden’s comments and what he thinks of us.
Hopefully President Trump will facilitate the needed repairs to our election system. The Left it seems will always have a candidate, so we need to be completely sure the process is accurate in 4 years, in 8 years, in 12 years, etc.
Voting on election day turned out to be a disaster for Kari Lake's governor run in 2022, Maricopa AZ. I thought surely she would win that fight, but Nope. And they dragged it out an eternity. That was incredibly disappointing. Until we get rid of these machines (including electronic poll books) it just becomes trying to out maneuver the bad guys who have control over the machines.
Spreading the vote out over several days via early voting would diminish the chances of what happened to Kari Lake from happening again. It also facilitates the expectation of a massive turnout, which it will be.
Rather than squeezing votes into one day, and risking large numbers of voters being shut out by the time restraints, MAGA gains the advantage of plowing more votes into the expanded process.
However, the accumulation of the talley over days also gives more time for the cheaters as well. This makes me apprehensive about early voting. The bad guys would have both a grasp of the numbers coming in and what’s left in the data base they may use to overcome a Trump victory.
The silver lining for MAGA might be this: the scammers might back down from the steal if the numbers they must conjure are so large as to be beyond plausibility, especially for a weak candidate like Kamala. I think I just explained ‘too big to rig.’
MI EARLY VOTE SHOCKER! Election Integrity Data Analysts Claim They Have Proof of 208,075 Ballots Cast By 82,674 Voters… An Excess of 125,428 Votes Cast!
Data analysts Phani Mantravadi and Tim Vetter said this so called “glitch” has been a recurring phenomenon since at least 2019. They are not certain this so called “glitch” has been resolved as Lara Trump claims. That uncertainty stems from the fact that MI recently ended transparency. They stopped giving them the ballot id’s, so they cannot determine whether those ballots were truly counted or not.
It’s almost as if they know there’s a clandestine structure in place to secure their power so they can pretty much say anything and put out the appearance of being intelligent and having a mandate
I'm at the point where I want to remove all related provisions, like minorities, women, and the handicapped. We either have equal rights or we don't. Carving out specialty classes like this immediately ensures we don't.
I think we can use electronics for tabulation and things and get even better transparency than we have today. I think that can be secure, but only if we have in-person, ID-checked voting. That is the key. No scanning of mail-in “ballots” with questionable chain of custody, except from valid military stationed overseas. No scanning ballots that arrive a week late. No drop boxes. As soon as midnight arrives on Election Day, no more ballots should be accepted, ever. A week’s-worth of early voting should be enough to take care of routine travel issues and work shift scheduling issues. All voters must renew their registrations every 4 years. That would “self-clean” the voter roles. Do those simple things and our election integrity would be much better.
Hand-counted paper ballots is my favorite option. It is extremely simple, efficient and delivers accurate results ( I trained in a hand-counting process); is an excellent occasion to cultivate a lived-civic duty experience; it brings people together in an engaging, even fun! way. AND, compared with the massive capital expenditures of machines (ten-year lifespan) and software (requiring frequent, costly updates or replacement) and the necessity of additional cost for layers of technical security' monitoring, -hand counting ballots is CHEAP, representing a meaningful state budget "savings" and our tax dollars spent more sensibly. Hand-counting ballots has further advantages but I'll stop here.
Agree 100%. There are roughly 195,000 precincts in the US each with, on average, 800 voters. Look at those precincts as small towns. France has twice the population of California and they know the winner that evening. Go French. Go provincial—signature ID, paper ballots, in person, hand counted, at the precinct, one day with some early voting exceptions….say hi to the neighbors
There is no reason that election software or hardware has to be updated all the time. We could run elections on 1980s computer technology if we wanted to. These are special purpose machines that do one task, and while the candidates and races change, the fundamental task and process does not: accurately tally and record votes. Honestly, from what I can tell, the programmers at, e.g., Dominion and other companies are idiots (never mind any alleged illegal behavior).
My problem with this is that it only works if everone is honest and competent. If that isn't true and the system becomes compromised, it is very difficult to audit. Besides, as we proved before the introduction of computers, they are unnecessary.
Well, any election only works if people are honest and competent. Paper ballots don’t change that by themselves. People have been stuffing ballot boxes with paper ballots long before computers were a thing. You hit the nail on the head, though: we need the ability to audit and we need a chain of custody. Paper provides one way to get SOME of that, but not all. And while today’s absolutely horrible electronic systems have issues, this is more due to the design and not fundamentally because they are electronic. Remember that we believe that Pennsylvania was corrupted by paper mail-in ballots, not electronics. And Georgia was corrupted by people scanning paper ballots multiple times (among other issues like ballot mules using drop boxes, etc).
Only easier in the sense that lots of otherwise unskilled people can do it. But the scale of modern elections becomes the issue. To be clear, I’m not against paper ballots. They are time tested and “easy” at some level. But there are a number of issues still with them. How do I know as a citizen who voted that my ballot was properly included in the count? Can an average citizen “see” all the votes and double-check the math? These things are impossible without electronics.
There are new frauds the left are using that the trump campaign could not have predicted. Burning ballot boxes. Hearing Dems are voting on the day so Republican ballots are being burned. Busing illegals to polling locations and cutting in front of citizens who were waiting on line for hours. Plus the lawsuits they are winning to keep illegals on voting lists, allowing ballots without dates to be counted up to three days after Election Day, and more. In the slim chance trump wins, Mc connell is setting up traitors to become the leader. Without at least one house a trump win is useless. I have lost all hope to save the country.
I haven’t lost hope. I do think Trump not only has the votes, but many more than he needs. The burning ballot boxes are small beer. That can’t be done too many times in too many places without making certification impossible. The current number of burned ballots, and the places it happened, won’t have any effect on the electoral votes Trump needs. As for kicking Trump voters out of line 7 days before Election Day, there are 5 more opportunities to vote after today. They can’t keep it up everywhere. This will be stopped or the damage mitigated.
I’m trying to figure out what the items are on the table in the background. Is that a terminal or laptop or sign-in pad and a bottle of soda pop for the worker? (I’m assuming that when an artist takes the time to draw something it has some kind of significance.)
Those were a couple items I remember on that table from when I went today and voted. The layout of the room roughly matches where I voted, but is missing a lot of details I left out as unnecessary and time consuming to draw. Since I knew I was going to have to make a more complicated drawing for my other Substack, I wanted to do this one quickly.

You'd be surprised how far that conversation penetrated, even internationally. However, I can't say more.
Understand. Thanks to YOU.

A note of appreciation for your work on the voter roles. Very much appreciated!
Did my part on Friday, the first day early voting opened here in Delaware. And the GOP areas seem to be running up the score so far.
I think I’ll vote today because it’s garbage day and you probably heard Biden’s comments and what he thinks of us.

Voted in New Jersey yesterday, no ID required at all. Very disturbing.
All these governors are something else.
It’s almost as if they know there’s a clandestine structure in place to secure their power so they can pretty much say anything and put out the appearance of being intelligent and having a mandate

Funny you sent that, I saw that yesterday as well. Your take is spot on, they know they have it in the bag. Really chilling.

NY’s “Mr. M” doesn’t have a whole lot against the “voter” described here:
https://x.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/1851672098303021060
ps: I voted today. I found the wording of NY proposition 1 to be quite misleading. These proposals are almost manipulative.
Prop 1:
“A vote for yes means these protections will be added to the NYS constitution.”
“A vote for no means these protections will not be added to the NYS constitution.”
“Protections?” ⬅️🤔
