I have been saying the election is being rigged since the 2000 election. I spent 30 years working in IT. Retired now...

And yet we have to keep our heads. My hope & prayer is that white hat/red teams are working on this.

The core definition of red teams is that they're "ethical hackers" -- like white hats -- who look for what harms

Agree. Tech law firms are outgunned in terms of wealth; an ongoing fight is a war of attrition for their attackers

He is. But it's a 50 state election system in a bigass country. So we know he couldn't do it all alone.

And that's exactly what we're looking at with this IT guy's threads of circumstantial evidence.

Ok, but do you see what this is really about? But it's about digital erasure of votes, so a hand recount

Okay, I'll take your word for it. I hope you're right. And we deserve a hand counted election

It's been proven conclusively that hand counting ballots is less accurate than machine counts.

Recounts of any April 1 House races. We need a realtime system where the person who just voted verifies electronically.

That's part of the problem. The vote tabulation systems. And Eaton Corp. And TrippLite.

I'm not talking about voter being verified they voted, but voter verifying on who they voted for as a real time tally. .

Sure, that can be done. But it's after that, that we need to be concerned about.

That would do nothing to assure people who are convinced there is cheating happening.

My suggestion only addresses votes cast at precincts let's say. So Instead of the computer recordiing the vote count....

Tripp Lite isn't an "election security company" unless, of course, you consider the manufacture of surge protectors...

The thread to be pulled is based on Tripp Lite being an election security company.

Yeah, maybe, but I think the Eaton Corp, Direct-to-Cell and Palantir are more important.

I hear you about TrippLite. It's the crazy billionaire guy who owned it. Now I get it.

Ah yes, the quietly built Direct-to-Cell network... So quietly built, that tech media was reporting on it in '22.

You can't reasonably claim that something was "quietly built" when the company behind it publically announced...
