EOs are not legal. The entire Republican Party are protecting him. They are all accessories to the crime for hiding evidence. Release the files.

The video clip I sent you directly from the EAC meeting showed EAC legal counsel stating “the executive order itself does not rescind prior certifications. It asks the EAC to consider that following a process of adoption of updated standards.”

The EO does NOT supersede EAC’s VVSG Lifecycle Policy

“A new version of VVSG does not decertify existing systems or indicate that older systems are insecure or unreliable.

The EAC adopted its VVSG Lifecycle Policy in 2022, under which vendors are generally required to submit new systems for testing of adherence to the latest standards. But even after the adoption of VVSG 2.0, vendors may continue to sell equipment certified to VVSG 1.0 unless the EAC formally decertifies it. The policy also makes it possible for vendors to keep their 1.0-certified systems secure by carving out a process for security updates and bug fixes to these systems.”

The only safe way is to go back to casting ballots by hand and having multiple people compile the votes. Yeah I know long hours to count and go thru multiple people. The only upside is no computers to hack. I still don’t understand why the 2024 election was not contested. Too many ways to change code and votes. Just ask Elon. The results just do not match with voters.

Thank you! As a former reporter, I know how much work it takes to compile these articles.

This tactic if change everything chaotically to undermine the process and shake faith in the process itself?

That's what they did at the bloodbank I worked at in 2007. It was an experiment to see if it worked.

It works very well.

While MSM is blabbering about Bed, Bath, and Beyond - you are reporting the news that's important

People forget EOs are not law!! If they bother to follow the EOs most or partial are being squashed in court.

MAGA/Trump is throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks. But most don't see the what this has the potential to become. Chipping away at our constitutional rights and rule of law can and will lead to lawlessness and then the gloves are off. We're already in a cold civil war. Most are too timid to even see it. God help us all!!

The only people who have so far been convicted of election fraud, to my knowledge, are Republikkkans.

Are you from MidasTouch or just sharing their contact? I am incredibly disappointed and upset that I have seen NOTHING from them on this issue when it has been talked about for months. I copy them all the time on things, but nothing!

Lauren's avatar

Well we can't allow that. So please take action every day to make sure that doesn't happen.

Putin schooled him. This is textbook authoritarian behavior. Remember the one-on-one meeting alone with Putin, except the translator? Trump snatched and destroyed the translator’s notes at the end of the meeting.

Well articulated. Thank you for your detailed report, a much needed dose of reality!
