1/ To those registering voters: turn forms in PROMPTLY. Don't wait. Here's why: Against the rules because hey, human nature, thousands of valid registrations you turn in may not make it into the voter list before the election. And bad things can happen. Examples ...
2/ I analyzed a county's voter lists for a previous presidential election. I found over EIGHT THOUSAND names whose registrations were received by elections office in time, but didn't make it onto voter list till AFTER the election. Because hey, incompetence. And also ...

1) Hidden strategies behind 2020 presidential race: If both sides contest, and electoral college is unresolved by its January vote, NEW Speaker of the chosen by the NEW House temporarily takes over, until ...
2) Either electoral college comes to decision or, state by state, NEW house representative vote. This is not as a body, but in state by state units, whichever candidate gets 26 states first wins. So I expect to see election litigation over more house races than usual. ...

1/10) Election discrepancies? That's easy. The hard part is ruling out legitimate explanations. For example: An Oregon candidate has asked for an audit of her election. Let me walk you through this one... pamplinmedia.com/pt/9-news/4777…
2/10 Discrepancies in this Portland, OR election:
- high # of voters (11k out of 175k who voted) w. same Jan. 1 birthdate.
- 13,757 hadn't voted in any election before this for 5-10 years.
- at least one voter apparently was dead.
"Not a problem" says state official. (Why not?)

1/ Follow up: poking around, DNC server breaches (apparently, 5 of them btwn Sept 2015-Sept 2016). I think there is too little curiosity about the outside contractor that was handling the server during this time. They also handled Obama's. See next post for proper names.
2/ Testimony of Crowdstrike's Shawn Henry: the contractor handling the server was "The MIS Department" (Chicago/DC). Owned by Rajeed Chopra. DNC server handled by Jared Tamene Wolde-Yohannes. Both Chopra & Tamene did IT for Obama campaign too. See next post, multiple breaches

Crowdstrike handled inspection of the DNC server hack in 2016 & now doing heavy TV ads, including a vague cryptic graphic on protecting election integrity. On Aug. 6, one of its top execs divested a massive chunk of his stock. More ...
Juicy? Seth Rich murder unraveling? Renewed look into DNC server? Not really. Let's poke around. "Beneficial owners" must disclose stock transactions. The seller is Michael Carpenter, Crowdstrike's president of global sales & field ops. FILING: ir.crowdstrike.com/static-files/4… More ...

How to do a chain of custody risk guesstimate: Humboldt County NV prepping for 100% vote by mail, buying new Dominion ballot scanners. Plan to send ballots to every voter on the list, asked for or not, pending outcome of current lawsuit.
4 attack vectors for each type of voting: Who can vote, who did vote, chain of custody, the count. Let's assume who can vote (voter list) is accurate. Computer count is a separate risk assessment. Let's look at #2 and #3: who did vote & chain of custody.

Skip this thread unless you're a John Durham junkie. There is a new Durham indictment today. Appears unrelated to main spygate drama. Durham is AG in CT; this came across my feed, details below...
Details of Durham indictment (seemingly unrelated to the big enchilada): Louis Demaio pleaded guilty; what he did was steal payroll taxes from his employees who were doing construction work; also lied about who owned his LLC and paid family lots of $$, then lied about that. ...

1/ Really, really thinking of writing a quick short book with the backstory on vote by mail. Like when the Repubs dominated it in Washington state in the 80s. Then came drama. Union boss found dead in his bathtub, sprinkled with parmesan cheese....
2/ and the dead guy's former lover moved in with a politico who worked for the state's most powerful political law firm, (a partner formerly ran Nixon White House plumbers unit), and then they hired an embezzler, whose family started managing the Seattle absentee process...

1/5: Random research of my own, hadn't seen before: Checked old society columns. Saw that Trump had dinner with other bigwigs, & Ghislaine and Jeff, at Epsteins NY appt, in 1994 and 1999. Also Ghislaine flew on TRUMP's plane in 1996, along with reporter and Eric age 13. Also ...
2/5: Two different society blurbs from late 1990s, early 2000s hinted heavily that Prince Andrew and Ghislaine were romantically involved. He was visiting her. That he and she were secretly an "item". Also ...

Bogus election "safeguard" of the day: Random audits. Why? Because "our random is our random." For example, in consulting call today: " in our county the random selection is 3 precincts and the policy is to see the 3 smallest precincts for the random audit. "
Next county: "Here they choose the random precincts to audit from slips in a box. The box is across the room and we can't see what's in the box, whether the slips are face up, or even if the box has a slip for every precinct in it." ( the ' our random is our random audit)

Correct me if I'm wrong: a careful reading of the latest version of the anti lynching law changes the definition of the word lynching to include poll watcher intimidation.
Google text for Emmett Till Anti Lynching Act. See sec. 3 "lynching" - sends you to Title 18 sec. 245. Google that, see b. voting. Lynching bill adds a new sec. 250 to make lynching include sec 245, 247 and 249. Am I wrong? Does this make vote suppression a 'lynching' crime?

1/ Follow news much? Get whiplash from reading both sides, or just dopamine hits by reinforcing your beliefs? Do not ask me how I know this, but I happen to know: Tech kingpins are investing in developing a stable of narrative-writing race horses to help shape your perceptions.
2/ Bear with me here. I've known or years that the success of my 2004 book Black Box Voting (1 million+ downloads) was actually driven by people's underlying wish that Bush was not president, NOT by the information I had uncovered about electronic voting systems.

Do persons have a right to vote if they refuse to submit biometrics (fingerprints, facial scans, iris capture)? Some courts have ruled "No." (Ghana)
Did you know there is no federal " right to vote" in the USA?

SPIDEY SENSE TEST: Horowitz report hits tomorrow. While everyone is talking about whether Carter Page FISA warrant was legit, here's what tugs at me: Was Carter Page himself legit? Will find out soon how sharp my intuition is.
SPIDEY SENSE LOOKING GOOD SO far. IG Report: Page worked with another agency [CIA?] from 2009-2013 but not disclosed. Tip: check when Page entered / inserted into Trump campaign orbit. Also, Brennan took over CIA 2013, CIA & Intel before that. All roads lead to Brennan.
