What's the point. DEMOCRATS are NOT going to do anything about it. We have been crying, yelling since November 6. Us 4am club people have known all along. Yet nothing has been done since then! Ugggghhhh

As another follower pointed out, their timing is “curious” as this brand new Substack just hit #1 in World Politics.

To answer your question, it’s an incredibly irresponsible misrepresentation of the data. A longitudinal study based on 6,000 voters’ ballots does not account for the widespread manipulation the ETA has identified across every swing state—and Texas.

So, no, 5% of Democrats didn’t knowingly "switch" to Trump. Their ballots were caught in vote-flipping algorithms. Just like those surveyed—and millions of voters—didn’t just “stay home.” Their ballots were discarded once internal thresholds were hit.

That’s exactly why social media is flooded with people saying their vote “never registered” or “disappeared.” We’d bet money that if Pew actually called that 5% of Democrats who “flipped” to Trump, they’d get an earful of: “Absolutely the hell I didn’t.”

After watching the folks on the other side express the same concerns about election integrity, vulnerability of the machines, risk of losing meaningful elections if the election processes are not reformed, it's quite fascinating to hear the same concerns from folks on the left.

Election integrity is truly a non-partisan issue that every single American should be concerned about. If our votes can be manipulated, we have lost our republic.

Both red and blue politicians stand to lose if election integrity reforms are enacted. Hand-marked, hand-counted paper ballots, a single Election Day with absentee and mail-in limited to the infirm, those with legit work conflicts, and overseas military.

The Republican National Committee passed a resolution calling for much of this. Passed it unanimously. Yet the entrenched politicians both state and federal have done nothing in response. Even in red states where, generally, Republicans always win and I’m not talking about the presidential election. The RINOs don't want to lose to true grassroots conservatives/populist candidates.

Besides your lawsuit, what election reforms are you working for and how?

Yep. She won. But DEMs, infiltrated 30 years ago by prong 3 of the russian message assault on democracy, drank their “high road bathwater” & refused to investigate.

This is like continuing to have theories on who killed JFK. We know who it wasn’t because evidence was found to prove otherwise.

We know there was election fraud both times as well as a convenient attorney general disruption in 2016 pre election. We also know there was obscenely fascist promises made to large funders who will benefit on the demise of democracy. It’s how we solve this matter that will stop the slide into Christo fascist hell. Why is there silence among people elected to serve the republic?? Why did we stop taxing the rich and start starving the poor? It’s what we do now that will matter.

My concern, how do we protect the integrity of the vote going forward?

If Trump had this much success under a Democratic President and an unbiased administration, what are the chances of free and fair elections in the future?

Trump(f), stopped the FBI investigation into Russian involvement-2016 Presidencial election. The very moment he was elected. He also started firing the very FBI investigators into this suspected Russian involvement?. This case is buried I believe, not gone. This new term 2025, he continues to remove those in the FBI that ask questions or find new leads. President Bidens term recruitment for FBI have also been fired. This FBI involvement since 2015 has to be totally investigated. Your findings and theirs may very well find all the missing pieces, and how it's done. I believe you're findings. Well done 👏.
