🧵 Election Security Crisis – Experts Warn of Widespread Hacking

1/ 🚨 Cybersecurity experts are sounding the alarm: serious concerns over compromised election software and anomalies in key swing states have emerged. This breaks it down—and explains how YOU can take action to protect our democracy. 🧵

The bullet ballots is the most damning. That is actually plausible, especially since Musk collected those name in his lottery drawing. The internet access via the machines is difficult to pull off.

Unfortunately there is nothing to be done about it this election. Ms. Harris has already conceded and raising a fuss now would be playing into the Rep (and media) narrative that we are just as bad as they are. This would make it even harder to win next time.

Assuming of course there is a next time

Tbh, it's too important to worry about reputations.

pndragon65.bsky.social•95 days ago

Mostly I agree with you. But imho this battle is effectively lost.

Once again I would love to be convinced otherwise just so I could stop worrying so much about my kids and grand-kids. one of my grand-daughters is pregnant at the ripe old age of 15

reblou.bsky.social•95 days ago

Try not to worry unduly about your grand daughter. With the support of family, she'll be fine. I was pregnant at 16, it worked out ok for me. This way, you get to be great grandparents for longer. Becoming great grandparents in their 70s gave my grandparents many years of joy.

I don't think it's even yet begun. You're in the USA, I'm in the UK, we're used to living in a country we consider to be free & democratic. It's going to take a little time for people to realise that's being seriously threatened and mobilize.

pndragon65.bsky.social•95 days ago

I know it's just started and I truly am confident that it will turn out well in the end. But for now it is time to regroup, take a breath and prepare for the next go around.

Ms. Harris? Do you mean Vice President Harris? Or perhaps you meant Madam Vice President.

pndragon65.bsky.social•94 days ago

Vice President Harris. No disrepect was intended.

lindarey.bsky.social•96 days ago

If some of the great minds have alerted the current administration, what else can we do? I'm seriously asking.
There wasn't anything in the article that had actionable items.

tommygrahn.bsky.social•94 days ago

This sounds easy too plausible. Why can't we do ONE RECOUNT in NC and see if the numbers match. If they do fine. If not well we have a problem then.

2/ A series of open letters from top computer scientists and hacking experts detail how the 2024 election may have been manipulated. The evidence? Data anomalies, election software breaches, and patterns that experts call “too perfect” to be real. Let’s dive in.

defendingdemocracy.bsky.social•96 days ago

3/ The Data:
• In swing states, Trump’s “bullet ballots” (voting only for president, leaving the rest blank) spiked dramatically:
• AZ: 7.2%
• NV: 5.5%
• NC: 11%
Compare that to neighboring states (less than 0.05%). Nationally, bullet ballots are usually ~1%.

bfredrocks.bsky.social•96 days ago

So one way to reconcile this is to pull the paper ballots from Maricopa County and see if the number of “bullet ballots” is consistent with the stats. If it’s truly 7% of all the ballots, it shouldn’t be hard to find let’s say 100 paper ballots that actually show people did that. JUST CHECK!

The only person who can demand a recount before election certification is Kamala.

Contact her office to demand recount

4/ Even more shocking, these anomalies are concentrated in specific counties. For example, Maricopa County in Arizona accounts for almost all the spike in bullet ballots. This isn’t random—it’s strategic targeting.

cynde.bsky.social•96 days ago

Not that it isn’t true, but like 90% of the state lives in Maricopa county.

5/ Statisticians say the odds of Trump sweeping all 7 swing states with less than 50% of the vote are 35 billion to 1. This, combined with irregularities, has experts calling for immediate hand recounts in key counties.

ourbestefforts.bsky.social•95 days ago

Latest substack post from Spoonamore indicates 48 hours for Kamala to take action. Don't think they will request hand recounts in swing states unless they are pressured to do so. How in the world to get people to urgently focus on pressuring Kamala?

I wrote a letter to https://WH.gov

6/ How could this happen?
After the 2020 election, GOP operatives gained unauthorized access to election software in Georgia and other states. This software, used by Dominion and ES&S, counts nearly 70% of votes nationwide—including nearly all votes in swing states.

defendingdemocracy.bsky.social•96 days ago

7/ Hackers reportedly modified the software, enabling it to secretly tabulate fake votes. Election machines connected to the internet (despite claims otherwise) could have been used to manipulate the results.

We need @marcelias.bsky.social in on this. He’s the expert. Marc help!!

pennyrucker1.bsky.social•94 days ago

No, because if they do, there will be even less faith in our elections. But, something is very wrong 😑

johnlscott.bsky.social•96 days ago

First thing I said after the election: let me see the logs, all of them. Show me the architecture, and rules governing ingress and egress. The entire security framework should come under DEEP scrutiny.

Code audits.
Router logs
Firewal logs
IDS system logs

The findings should be published.
