I believe Pennsylvania is also a big target. I believe it was on a Jessica Denson video where good evidence was demonstrated. Also Trump has made comments about Musk's "talent with voting machines" and that he "didn't need Musk to win in Pennsylvania". And wasn't it Pennsylvania where Musk attempted the lottery to encourage voting? That makes me wonder if it was bribery that caused the signed petitions for a hand count of paper ballots to be ignored.
We went OFF on Pennsylvania in this Substack. They’ve rejected a request for a hand-count audit of the ballots, despite their astronomically manipulated election data.
I'm very much on your side - and I spent 20+ years advocating for the same reforms, the restoration of public, observable vote counting, and presenting forensic analyses of persistent, unidirectional anomalies. As co-founder and executive director of Election Defense Alliance (EDA; 2006-16) and author of "CODE RED: Computerized Elections and the War on American Democracy" (https://www.amazon.com/CODE-RED-Computerized-Elections-Democracy/dp/B087H83JCR/ref).
Thank you for your work (and I know all too well how thankless it can feel). You've helped inspire me to resume my own, after a well-earned burnout break.
My one piece of advice, from experience: Avoid terms like "astronomically" -- they add very little of substance and they lose you a key segment of your potential audience. Much of the data and the patterns it forms speak for themselves -- avoid meaningless hyperbole and let the data and analyses do the persuading.
Thank you for that input. For appeal purposes, content and tone have been a push-pull between the younger, drama-leaning members of the team and the older Gen Xers who just want the facts.
Needless to say, a lot ended up on the cutting room floor.
Interesting—any chance they fear looking like the Trump insistence that he won in 2020? It seems from the beginning that one unlikely win in one battleground state should have had a recount — maybe PA. If that count showed discrepancies, then on to the others. We really need to know if the tech end was fiddled with.
That's gotta be part of their hesitance, which is silly when you have actual data to support the claim, right. All eyes on the Rockland County, NY lawsuit. Fingers crossed that Smart Elections wins. It could be the first domino and would 'allow' Dem leaders to stick their heads out of their shells to at least mention the subject... finally.
We will fix this! More and more people are dumping Trump, he has exposed himself as the imbecile he is, the Epstein files will ‘do him in,’ raping children should be a hanging offence.
I believe we have only three Justices left we can trust, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson!!! The rest have been corrupted since B4 roe/wade!! runt talked often and loudly about how he "put" those men on the court to do what he wanted! We also, need to be clear, these people are NOT Republicans, they are Traitors, maga, runt followers, and defenders of project 2025, and the Heritage Foundation!! Someone needs to write just about this!! When msnbc did it, people weren't ready to hear it!! NOW it all makes more sense! You can see P. 2025 in everything "they" do!! The project tells "THEM" how to take apart our Government one piece at a time!! It's been going on for years behind the scenes! How do you think they got so many of "THEIR" people in the chambers? runt has had years to position "HIS" people. I saw way too many ballets, with only Rs. running unopposed! 'HE" told us he was putting "HIS" people everywhere!! WE cannot wait for runt to cancel out the Midterms in some way!! I bet runts first 2025 "Job" was to corrupt the Supreme court!!!
Right, tons of evidence proved Kamala Won. Top Political statisticians, have the facts, Kamala won, she had approximately three and a half million more votes than Trump. If you can recall the huge crowds she had over 70,000, people at one of her last events, with people waiting to get in, seven blocks long. And - Trump? He wasn’t able to fill a high school gym.
Musk spent almost 6 weeks in PA before the election. I just read that the election officials In PA signed off that the machine changes did not need certified. Pro V&V was born out of another company found to be a cheat.
Thank you. On one hand I'm glad to know I'm not crazy, but on the other, it infuriates me to feel more sure that someone there is supporting Trump in ruining our democracy and constitution and harming citizens in the process. I've figured someone in Pennsylvania was/is aware of the situation and has been rewarded to keep quiet.
I’m gonna say the simple thing. I think we really need to get rid of voting machines and go back to paper ballots not perfect, but not as manipulatable on such a grand scale
Women walked and petitioned and forced men to give them the vote so it could be women again that move this forward to ensure that you have safe and free elections in the US once more.
Seems like a no-brainer and SO easy to implement! However, it will only happen after there is an actual recount that exposes the digital fraud that we all know is happening.
You’re probably right; but I’m gonna lean hard on the fact that now the administration wants to go in and work on “election reform”. Separate from whatever is happening with the 2024 election lawsuits.
But the question is why didn’t Harris and waltz fight harder? Bringing up about a stolen election way after the fact doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. I just was so frustrated as to why they did not demand a recount, etc. We all knew something was terribly wrong.☹️
I’ve always assumed that after Trump’s infamous immature refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election, and his January 6th shenanigans, she didn’t want to be seen as doing the same thing. She chose the high road.
There cannot be any more high roads. Because that’s why we are where we are today. We let the shenanigans pulled by the other side and all of the lawlessness come to be because we supposedly took the HIGH road. What the hell is the high road? The high road is bending over and letting them ride all over us. And that’s what they’ve done. They fear nothing of the other side, so they continue and they will continue until we have nothing left. The only people that will be in power are those with wealth and those using authoritarian type styles to govern. At some point the American people are gonna have to rise up and say we are not going to tolerate this. But each day we passively let something happen. And all of those some things add up.😞
Inquiring minds want to know. I wonder if anyone asked them, though. There was speculation of a dire threat, but that doesn't seem right for the people still in office...
How do we get Substack writers like @Robert Reich, @Anand Ghiridaradas, @Glenn Kirschner, @Anthony Davis, et.al. to read This Will Hold? I think we need more grassroots Americans to begin demanding of our Congress rep's that THEY read This Will Hold. I can send my Rep. and Senators emails and phone calls about the information on this site and I will, but I'd like to hear more solidarity and discussion among our little corner of Substack, as well. Any thoughts?
Hi Stephanie, I do read Robert Reich, religiously. I comment on his posts also. I don’t know how you write to him directly when he gets hundreds, and even thousands of comments on each of his posts. If there’s a way, let me know. 😊🙏
This is it people, forget everything else and WORK here before it’s over Russia style elections ! Wake up….. is trump acting now like he cares about hurting his base? Even for the midterms….NO. he isn’t! why?? this is our only real hope for our America EVER again. Please pay attention! Please follow this
We need MORE LIVE SUBSTACKS to interview Greg Palast. Thom Hartmann has him on a lot but we need to widen the base of people who know about his work on election interference for the last 30 years or so. Has he been on Jessica Denson's podcast?
Greg Palast is covered in The Common Coalition report—the issue is that he focuses on what’s considered “legal” election rigging. Since the Shelby County decision, states have been free to rewrite election laws with little to no federal oversight.
Just look at Nancy Mace’s case that went to the Supreme Court—they essentially ruled that skin color doesn’t qualify as racial profiling. **She would have lost that race—most Americans know this is the dirtiest Supreme Court bench this country has ever seen.
So while Palast’s work is deeply important—and arguably among the most noble—it often gets dismissed. Why? Because there’s very little recourse within the current legal framework to do anything about it.
I live near philadelphia pa. I don't have money, but I can donate time. This is very important to me.
I realize that we got a Republican AG elected in the 24 election. This was an upset, since the AG has been a democrat since 2008. Was his election also rigged?
We also had a popular democratic senator Bob Casey (3 terms) replaced by a republican in a very close race (0.22%). Maybe this election was also fixed.
I have confidence in our Democratic governor, Josh Shapiro. I might be able to reach him.
Since we’ve never been here before as a country, our thought is this: once she’s seated, they’ll reset to January 19th as this is an illegitimate administration, bring back everyone who was illegally deported, shut down the concentration camp in Florida, and audit every single Congressional and state-level race.
It’s not just about fundraising—everyone has a part and they’re all important! Just spread the word—we have to row this boat at the speed of togetherness.
I am thinking of a protest in Harrisburg. This would be outside the court where the lawsuit to release the paper ballots is being argued. I think this would help, and I would be willing to help organize it. Can you DM me about someone who would also be able to help?
As a European maybe I shouldn't mingle in your domestic troubles, but I really think Trump is a threat to the whole world. What he and his cronies are doing is terrible, gutting your country, your democracy; it has to be stopped!
Articles like this are bad for my rest at night but I feel I have to do whatever I can to support the movement to remove Trump from office. So, like you mentioned I tagged your story in the comments section of the Meidas network. A drop in the ocean, but every drop counts. Good luck!
One reason GOP wants to strip PBS and independent media-they won’t be there to report. The corporate media aren’t going to cover it. They shine his shoes every day.
North Carolina is a hot mess. This data is a work of fiction—not even joking. We actually burst out laughing when we saw it—they didn’t even try to be subtle.
Of course, then came all the expletives—because this is the worst situation ever. But we’re all nerds, so… we had a moment.
**At least Russia shows a bit of finesse when they interfere in our elections—we’ll talk more about that once we’re on the other side of this.
Bullet Ballots when only the presidential candidate is selected in the rest of the ballot is blank. In North Carolina bullet ballots were 11%. The normal for bullet ballots is 0.5%. There were also large skewed numbers in Arizona & Nevada.
Thank you for this! ♥️ So, our assignment: contact Secretary of State offices in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Also pressure the top indie media outlets you listed. Time is of the essence. Please keep posting to remind people to do these things! Repetition works!
Absolutely none of this surprises me. Leopards don’t change their spots. Where is the democratic leadership? The people are ready to fight this 4th Reich!
Yes, She won and Musky rigged the results, but now he regrets that he helped tHrump.
Musky should volunteer to testify to Congress and the FBI about his manipulation of the Election Results. He Subverted the Election, and have his Citizenship REVOKED, or Cooperate with the FBI and Congress.
We have a special place in our hearts for Minnesota — the mail-in vote is what stopped them from pulling it off. That’s exactly why MAGA is working so hard to change the voting laws. If they eliminate mail-in voting, the blue states are done.
This is why they are calling for voting machines and voter rolls in 5 states…that’s to cover up the ELECTION STEAL!!!!! THEY KNOW PEOPLE ARE UNCOVERING THIS STOLEN ELECTION!
I believe Pennsylvania is also a big target. I believe it was on a Jessica Denson video where good evidence was demonstrated.

Welcome back to the fight and thank you for your previous efforts.
Thank you. I'm glad to know they've at least been getting some pressure, and I find it very suspicious that they won't allow an audit.
nothing to hide?? 🤔
Could it be the cost that makes them opposed?
Cost? They could charge a million dollars and donors would come up with it in minutes given what's at stake here.
I agree!
I believe that Election Truth Alliance offered to pay for the recount, so no, cost is irrelevant.
Interesting—any chance they fear looking like the Trump insistence that he won in 2020? It seems from the beginning that one unlikely win in one battleground state should have had a recount — maybe PA. If that count showed discrepancies, then on to the others.

ETA will cover the cost. That is a non issue.
We will fix this! More and more people are dumping Trump, he has exposed himself as the imbecile he is, the Epstein files will ‘do him in,’ raping children should be a hanging offence.
I know what is a traitor to the United States, him and all the Republicans all three branches. Insurrectionist and traitors to the free world.
I believe we have only three Justices left we can trust, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson!!! The rest have been corrupted since B4 roe/wade!! runt talked often and loudly about how he "put" those men on the court to do what he wanted!

Greg Palast can help us fix this. His investigation proved voter suppression.
Right, tons of evidence proved Kamala Won. Top Political statisticians, have the facts, Kamala won, she had approximately three and a half million more votes than Trump. If you can recall the huge crowds she had over 70,000, people at one of her last events, with people waiting to get in, seven blocks long. And - Trump? He wasn’t able to fill a high school gym.
And right now, with all the hurt he's causing, he couldn't even fill a broom cupboard.
Musk spent almost 6 weeks in PA before the election. I just read that the election officials In PA signed off that the machine changes did not need certified. Pro V&V was born out of another company found to be a cheat.
Yes, the next Substack is already written—and it covers a lot of that. It’s ugly.
Let’s just say this: a lot of people belong in prison.
Thank you. On one hand I'm glad to know I'm not crazy, but on the other, it infuriates me to feel more sure that someone there is supporting Trump in ruining our democracy and constitution and harming citizens in the process. I've figured someone in Pennsylvania was/is aware of the situation and has been rewarded to keep quiet.
I believe that was Wisconsin
What we must do! But, we need more ( bigger) help: colleges, law firms, unions…
And UN Observers!
YES!!! Where are they? We need help!
Million and billionaires!!!
I’m gonna say the simple thing. I think we really need to get rid of voting machines and go back to paper ballots not perfect, but not as manipulatable on such a grand scale
We agree with you on this, 100%.
Yeah. I’m glad to hear it. I think we Join our local chapters of the League Of Women Voters and make it happen
Women walked and petitioned and forced men to give them the vote so it could be women again that move this forward to ensure that you have safe and free elections in the US once more.
Believe in the power of Women!! We are Strong!!
I’m going write my governor with a request to change to paper ballots for 2026.
Seems like a no-brainer and SO easy to implement! However, it will only happen after there is an actual recount that exposes the digital fraud that we all know is happening.
You’re probably right; but I’m gonna lean hard on the fact that now the administration wants to go in and work on “election reform”. Separate from whatever is happening with the 2024 election lawsuits.

We have a theory—she had two choices: risk a civil war, or spark a revolution. There’s a difference.
She placed her bet on We the People.
And here we are.
Great way of putting that!
Those are excellent theories actually. I suspected that their families were threatened, but it could be both.
Maybe their lives were threatened, would not surprise me if was trump, or his suck ups. Obviously it was a bridge too far.. Kamala did Win!
I’ve always assumed that after Trump’s infamous immature refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election, and his January 6th shenanigans, she didn’t want to be seen as doing the same thing. She chose the high road.
There cannot be any more high roads. Because that’s why we are where we are today.

At some point the American people are gonna have to rise up and say we are not going to tolerate this. But each day we passively let something happen. And all of those some things add up.😞
And look where it got us. She should have done the smart thing.
I have been asking the same thing!!! But I guess it was too much of a risk to appear to look like 2020 😞
Inquiring minds want to know. I wonder if anyone asked them, though. There was speculation of a dire threat, but that doesn't seem right for the people still in office...
How do we get Substack writers like @Robert Reich, @Anand Ghiridaradas, @Glenn Kirschner, @Anthony Davis, et.al. to read This Will Hold?

I just sent your post to Robert Reich, I believe it will interest him. I enjoy reading his posts, you will too.
R² is to progressive politics what Mick Jagger is to rock and roll.
Love Mick Jagger, still the best.
I am listening to Robin Trower on SubStack now.
Wow, thank you! Robert is my Hero. I am following you my new friend, best people on SubStack🗽😻
Hi Stephanie, I do read Robert Reich, religiously. I comment on his posts also. I don’t know how you write to him directly when he gets hundreds, and even thousands of comments on each of his posts. If there’s a way, let me know. 😊🙏
Yes! Robert is a lovely man, brilliant, and kind. He is on SubStack, You can look for his name. I look forward to more of your posts..
Stephanie, thank you, HOW did you send the past to Robert Reich?
Greg Palast’s investigation has proof of suppression. He needs to be on here.
This is it people, forget everything else and WORK here before it’s over Russia style elections ! Wake up….. is trump acting now like he cares about hurting his base? Even for the midterms….NO. he isn’t! why?? this is our only real hope for our America EVER again. Please pay attention! Please follow this
We couldn’t have said this better ourselves. Truly.
Independent journalist Gregg Palast has also been sounding the alarm about tossed ballots largely effecting the black voters.
We need MORE LIVE SUBSTACKS to interview Greg Palast. Thom Hartmann has him on a lot but we need to widen the base of people who know about his work on election interference for the last 30 years or so. Has he been on Jessica Denson's podcast?

One reason GOP wants to strip PBS and independent media-they won’t be there to report. The corporate media aren’t going to cover it. They shine his shoes every day.
NC was pretty definitely hacked. Jeff Jackson and Josh Stein may be able to help
but they are doing daily battle with backlogs and a republican legislature.
North Carolina is a hot mess. This data is a work of fiction—not even joking. We actually burst out laughing when we saw it—they didn’t even try to be subtle.
