November 15, 2024
Honorable VP Kamala Harris
The White House
Office of the Vice President
1600 Pennsylvania Ave
Washington DC 20500
Dear Madam Vice President.
This is my second Duty to Warn Letter regarding hacking of the 2024 Presidential Election. The first letter on November 7 was directed to Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Officials. Both warnings are made per DNI Clapper’s 2015 directive to all agencies and contractors associated with intelligence and financial agency technologies to warn of suspicions of hacking.
Professionally I have worked as the CEO or CTO at seven high technology firms including two which specialized in hacking and counter-hacking operations. My clients have included numerous governments DoD, DHS, Dept. of State, F100 Financials and F500 Industrials.
I am a lifelong Republican who has long placed service and participatory democracy over party. In government, I have twice been invited to SoCom to give lectures on electronic warfare and techniques to find terrorist money laundering and gave a keynote speech of the National Counterintel Summit on this same topic. I served as an after-action reviewer of communications and data failures on 9/11 under the direction of Jim Woolsey and FDNY Commissioner Scopetta, and later co-wrote multiple hacking risk analysis of Smart Grid technologies for the Obama administration.
You should reverse your concession, call for both a full investigation of criminal activity and demand hand recounts in all seven swing states.
In my professional view there are multiple and extremely clear indications the Presidential vote was willfully compromised.
I wholly agree with the public letter of Duncan Buell, et. al. of Nov. 13th stating they believe there is a possibility of hacking and calling for hand-recounts.
https://freespeechforpeople.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/letter-to-vp-harris-111324.pdf
This letter’s clear call to action is commendable, but its cautious tone may belie the severity of what I believe has happened. In my view it is a near certainty the results have been changed at a scale which reversed the US Presidential Election. They imply there is a chance a hand-recount will show you won more votes. I am stating a hand recount will most likely show you did win. Both letters call on you to act.
In my view, a capable and skilled series of exploits, electronic tools and hacks were used to change the Presidential vote in all seven swing states. These activities have reversed the outcomes in at least Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. I will lay out the basics of the attack, starting with unusual elements within the results. I will then outline two processes which could have been followed to insert these false results into the system. Finally I will outline how I would recommend investigating.
Unusual elements within the results.
The results of the attack are improbable in the extreme and well tailored to the sole benefit of your opponent.
Approximately 600,000 votes are for Donald Trump but with no down ballot choices. These are either inserted “bullet ballots” for the Presidential race or manipulated data fields. They are surgically added to totals in limited jurisdictions and within only the seven swing States. This historically unprecedented set of numbers found in the 2024 swing states is absent in every other state. In AZ, MI, NC and WI the effect of these drop-off votes reverses the voters' will and even more improbably always pushes the winning margin beyond the mandatory recount numbers. It is a result too perfect for belief. It is a bespoke and programmed outcome. In other states including PA and NV, removing these strange and bespoke added votes, it appears Donald Trump may have won the cast votes but within a margin which would force recounts. The inserted votes raise his totals, to avoid any scrutiny during mandatory recount results which would have slowed his claim on the Presidency. In GA and FL the same pattern exists with unclear impact on the results.
This attack is not technically difficult. It is modest in scale. It would require:
Modest and common computer programming skills.
Access to 10-100 tabulators or to the handful of facilities programming them in advance.
A credible database of voter IDs of non-voters around which to create false ballots.
Perhaps as few as 1, but more likely 3-5 human program managers.
Access to eBollBook Data during the election to determine who had not voted.
(Possibly) Human access to some tabulators during counting.
If I was asked to lead this hack, I would expect to have a core team of 6-10 people, and operating costs under $10M with a timeline of 3-12 months.
The tell: A historically absurd number of Trump-only bullet ballots or undervote ballots.
There are always a handful of voters who cast a vote in one race which they care about, and do not make other selections on the ballot. These are called bullet ballots. In Presidential Races since 1980, these bullet ballots rarely account for more than 1% of the total votes including in Mr. Trump’s winning 2016 election and losing 2020 election, and when they do it warrants further investigation. In 2024 in the 43 non-swing states, bullet ballots make up a nominal >1%. In the seven swing states the numbers are so high to be unbelievable, unprecedented and demanding of further investigation. Here is analysis from totals as of late Nov. 12th
Here are the unprecedented results of drop-offs in the two western swing states:
AZ - 123K+ 7.2%+ of Trump’s total vote. Enough to reverse the outcome.
NV - 43K+ 5.5%+ of Trump’s total vote. Enough to exceed recount threshold.
It is my belief these two states have illegally added votes.
For comparison, examine Trump’s 2024 results in three states which border AZ and NV. They have equally passionate Trump supporters, but have the normal levels of drop off or bullet ballots.

Was just about to ask you in the other thread to make this an OP Sympthsical Monday #1
I hope it adds a bit of clarity soandso Monday #2
What does that even mean? Define %age difference, I don't know what you're talking about. bucolic_frolic Monday #3
The percentage difference between soandso Monday #5
It's the percentage of votes cast in the presidential race in excess of the votes cast in the Senate race onenote Monday #7
And what this reveals soandso Monday #25
Yep. There are lots of low information voters who simply choose not to vote in a race they probably don't know onenote Monday #63
I'm good with that soandso Monday #76
Better than someone going down the ballot and randomly picking names based on whose name they like more. MichMan Tuesday #106
Thanks, but don't expect 2024 "election deniers" to accept facts. Silent Type Monday #4
The scare quotes should be dropped. Igel Monday #48
So you mean the spoon guy is full of crap? Who could have guessed? tritsofme Monday #6
IIRC, he was claiming software was hacked soandso Monday #8
He has made lots of baseless claims, I'll give you that. tritsofme Monday #10
It's up to the people peddling this crap to show back up HereForTheParty Monday #11

Your analysis is just meaningless numbers... SnoopDog Monday #12
If a bullet ballot SickOfTheOnePct Monday #15
How about the House votes? SnoopDog Monday #51
It doesn't matter SickOfTheOnePct Monday #56
Well, the Senate race in PA was important too SnoopDog Monday #68
You don't seem to understand what a "bullet ballot" is. onenote Monday #78
Right...bad guys would think to themselves... SnoopDog Monday #80
So why didn't they steal the Senate races in Arizona and Wisconsin too? tritsofme Monday #86
The guy pushing the conspiracy theory that the race was stolen is using that definition EdmondDantes_ Monday #87
Spoonamore provided the definition: onenote Monday #91
This message was self-deleted by its author Truth_Serum Tuesday #111
The actual calculations for NC do not show a 303,039 vote difference. onenote Tuesday #112
You're right Truth_Serum Tuesday #113
By definition, a so called "bullet ballot" does not include... reACTIONary Monday #79
See above post 80... SnoopDog Monday #81
Your post 80 is exactly right, which means... reACTIONary Monday #94
Concerning serious reflection and analysis.... reACTIONary Monday #96
Thank you for the article! n/t Ms. Toad Tuesday #103
Yeah, how about those soandso Monday #61
lol, right...These are actual numbers, unlike the Spoon guy's make-believe numbers. tritsofme Monday #16
lol soandso Monday #21
Are you a mathematician? An election specialist? Statistician? SnoopDog Monday #53
The numbers I posted are those posted by the states soandso Monday #66
I'm not, but let me ask you this... do you think the DNC employs such people? Takket Monday #84
I don't know.... Does the Democractic Party have any leadership? SnoopDog Monday #90
Yeah, it's crazy that some swing states showed as much as 5% and 7% of "President Only" ballots.. Think. Again. Monday #13
The numbers provided in the OP SickOfTheOnePct Monday #14
Oddly enough... Think. Again. Monday #26
But Spoonamore says it's 7% in Arizona SickOfTheOnePct Monday #35
Lake is the only red Senate candidate on the ballot. Think. Again. Monday #42
I'm not sure why you think that matters in any way? Not everyone votes a straight ticket. tritsofme Monday #45
Exactly SickOfTheOnePct Monday #47
maybe Kari Lake should be the one asking for a recount then LOL Takket Monday #88
All this means is that a bunch of Trump voters also voted for Gallego. tritsofme Monday #38
All that shows is that people split tickets soandso Monday #41
And neither do you. Think. Again. Monday #43
I never made any claim that necessitated access to ballots soandso Monday #49
This just demonstrates split tickets Abnredleg Monday #44
States prevent split ballots? Igel Monday #50
lol...wow. There's no evidence to support the claim, but here's some guy who called into a radio show. tritsofme Monday #18
Post removed Post removed Monday #27
There is certainly a group of folks who are eager to be scammed tritsofme Monday #29
Feel free to check my math in post # 26 Think. Again. Monday #31
Your math in post #26 has nothing to do with the claim that there was an inordinate number of bullet ballots. onenote Monday #85
But remember: " His number estimates aren't important" muriel_volestrangler Monday #23
How about instead of relying on somebody else soandso Monday #24
See post #26 Think. Again. Monday #33
Actual numbers just aren't backing the claim. paleotn Monday #65
And after viewing the interview again... Think. Again. Monday #69
There's a dozen ways to slice and dice the data, but no smoking gun so far. paleotn Monday #72

How are we supposed to avoid the emotions of the election results if we can't claim the results are fraudulent? Fiendish Thingy Monday #17
It's this OP that is wrong, they used the numbers from both Dem and red ballots together. Think. Again. Monday #32
And as it's been pointed out to you repeatedly Zeitghost Tuesday #115
The bullet ballots are the reason we won so many close Gov. Senate and House races Fiendish Thingy Monday #20
Exactly right soandso Monday #22
I'd say over 9% is a big excess of bullet ballots (see post # 26). Think. Again. Monday #30
It would be SickOfTheOnePct Monday #39
I saw your post and addressed it soandso Monday #46
You do realize that our lack of the actual ballots... Think. Again. Monday #52
You don't need to see the ballots SickOfTheOnePct Monday #58
Explain what those numbers mean please? Think. Again. Monday #60
Sure SickOfTheOnePct Tuesday #116
Agreed Zeitghost Tuesday #122
Absolutely! SickOfTheOnePct Tuesday #123
What position? soandso Monday #64
close races don't need huge numbers ERW Monday #89
True enough soandso Monday #97
Hi, you used numbers from both Dem and red ballots... Think. Again. Monday #28
Show your work soandso Monday #34
See post # 26 Think. Again. Monday #36
No you didn't Zeitghost Monday #100
Nope SickOfTheOnePct Monday #37
Lake was the only red Senate candidate on the ballot. Think. Again. Monday #40
So what? SickOfTheOnePct Monday #54
And many republicans didn't like her and voted for the democratic jimfields33 Monday #55
And then how did the green Senate candidate end up with over 50k more than stein? Think. Again. Monday #59
Many voters think the environment is priority jimfields33 Monday #62
So you think some trump voters also voted for the green senate candidate? Think. Again. Monday #70
People splitting tickets differently than you think they should have is not evidence of fraud. tritsofme Monday #71
Actually, I may be heading that way... Think. Again. Monday #74
No. jimfields33 Monday #92
Because there will have been people who voted Trump for president, and Quintana (Green) for senator muriel_volestrangler Tuesday #104
I don't think that's the claim at all. Igel Monday #57
So (please correct me if I'm wrong)... Think. Again. Monday #67
