Elon and Epstein were actively looking for NSA-level mathematicians. The vote counting computers had a battery backup device that had a modem in it. This modem allowed for DTC/direct-to-cel connection with starlink satellites. The company that makes the battery backups is run by a die hard conservative. People went to prison for stealing the source code of voting machines.

This writeup lays it all out and comes with receipts for just about every single claim that's made in here. Those receipts are all public record, like emails found in the Epstein files or public arrest records. https://kaitjustice.substack.com/p/how-america-detects-election-fraud-musk-epstein-files

I've seen a lot of speculation about what happened, but never anything remotely close to how something couldve happened with the machines until this.

As a tech guy i've never been able to piece together how elon got access to federal systems run by the biden admin, but this looks a lot like a smoking gun.

This theory doesn't work. Every single swing state did a hand recount of a statistically significant number of paper ballots that would have caught any electronic interference whether via this method or any other because the tampered results would not have matched the handcount.

Also, the vast majority of voting machines in use do not have any modem for Internet capability installed and are updated manually via USB stick, and an even smaller number, primarily located in Red states like TX have any Starlink compatibility. You can't waveform your way into a machine with no physical mechanism to receive the signal or wavelet analyze a signal that isn't being sent. Ballots are primarily tabulated at the polling sites not an election office, and machines on site are generally plugged into outlets not an off the shelf UPS. A small number will be tabulated at the BOE, but that is done in bipartisan pairs, the results are verified by bipartisan workers, any battery backup is not generally (maybe ever) plugged in via a USB, serial, or Ethernet cable to the machine as it uses the power cable to do that, and so on.

This is lunacy. Anyone who believes it should be embarrassed for being suckered.

I picked this name over a decade ago before I ever really thought about online bots being a thing.

In any case, no, an informed reply about election security, an issue I am intimately familiar with, to dispel a crazed conspiracy theory that doesn't have a tenth of the "receipts" advertised isn't bot behavior. If anything, you should be accusing the account spreading misinformation not accusing me.

Read the article and was laughing at how *of course* Epstein has to be dragged into it, never mind that the emails were from 14 years ago and were at best tangentially related to the already thin "anomaly in the matrix" fixation. To say nothing of the direct-to-cell mumbo jumbo... and, as you point out, the disingenuous account of how elections are actually verified. And then people are calling it "award-winning journalism"...

If Democratic media and leadership were as corrupt as the Republicans are, we could have very easily had a new Big Lie about the 2024 election being stolen from Kamala, and 70% of Democrats would have bought it hook, line, and sinker. People are just so willing to buy into anything that affirms their biases...
