...the only way to know if a cashier shortchanged you is to recount the change they gave you.

If we don't verify the first-count results, we are complicit in any cheating that may have occurred, and the only way to verify those first-count results, is to recount the votes using a trustworthy method and not the same method (digital tabulators) that is being questioned by so many cybersecurity experts.

I understand why the rightwingers don't want the results verified, but I don't understand why true Dems wouldn't want to be sure the astonishing results are accurate.

Harris is a "true Dem," no? It's pretty easy to understand why she is not pushing recounts. tritsofme Nov 18 #10

You really shouldn't make up things that other people said. Think. Again. Nov 18 #11

Of course she hasn't. Why would she address baseless conspiracy theories floating around the fringes of the internet? tritsofme Nov 18 #16

Then people should not put words in her mouth. Think. Again. Nov 18 #17

I didn't put any words in her mouth. I said she is not pushing recounts, and she is not. tritsofme Nov 18 #18

I'm sure she is quite capable of keeping quite about any plans she may have. Think. Again. Nov 18 #20

lol, the conspiracy theory takes another turn! tritsofme Nov 18 #25

You might be trying to dig a rabbit hole. Think. Again. Nov 18 #27

Recounts must be done because there haven't been any facts about the hacks on DU? muriel_volestrangler Nov 18 #22

Your resistence to verifying the first-count results is noted. Think. Again. Nov 18 #28

Perhaps this short interview today with Steven Spoonamore himself... Think. Again. Nov 18 #31

No, it doesn't. He starts off with a hypothetical without evidence muriel_volestrangler Nov 18 #32
