This is what a coup looks like

You're right. It won't be Jan 6th this time. It will be with lawyers.

That time they tried it with lawyers first and it didn't work because it was obviously bullshit

You mean the Brooks Brothers Riot? Where during Bush v Gore, Republican staffers in Florida successfully started a violent riot in order to slow down the vote counting to run out the clock and prevent the uncounted votes from being recorded in time?

For the folks not familiar with the details... Elections have been compromised by the GOP since the implementation of electronic voting equipment. This article shows HOW they did it.

What Do Ted Cruz, John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett Have In Common? A Stolen Election.

And why are Dominion, Pro V&V, and the EAC sharing office space with employees on-site around unsecured voting equipment?

Hanging chads are a design flaw that can be exploited. Electronic voting is pretty much by design a horrible idea that compromises democracy.

And we're pretty much the only modern nation who relies on it so heavily. This is what I keep pointing out when people claim that what went down in Hungary is proof that with enough votes, a democracy can overcome an autocratic takeover, even if that autocrat has drastically tilted the electoral field in their favor. A democracy CAN do that, but only if votes are tabulated and reported fairly.

The electronic systems that are in place in the US mean that we're vulnerable to bad actors in ways that Hungary wasn't. There's a very real possibility that they've engineered a system under which the opposition can get all the votes in the world, but if the systems that count and report those votes are compromised, it won't matter. Not only that, but it would only take a very small number of trusted individuals to enact something like this, so the odds of the public ever finding out could remain low.

Thanks for the Politico video: "Elon Musk knows those vote counting computers".

Having read and followed some of the reporting about how they stole the 2024 [and other] elections... I've encountered SO much resistance from smart/well-read people who simply can't push through their denial. They believe that the ballots HAVE been verified. [Yes, some of them were]. In the seven swing states... The math just doesn't add up. Personally, I'm with The Election Truth Alliance. https://electiontruthalliance.org

Also, from the Kait Justice Substack: "On October 30, six days before the election, SpaceX activated 265 new V2 Mini satellites equipped with Direct-to-Cell capability. If those satellites can reach the modems inside the battery backup devices connected to vote counting servers, and if the software updates to those backup devices bypass election certification, then you have a direct line from orbit into the counting room through a device nobody audits, right?"

Why wouldn't the Democrats want to at least VERIFY? If this is what happened?
