New Evidence Suggests That "The Most Secure Election in Earth History" Wasn't So Much

You mean that incompetents and hyperpartisans in position of authority over their superiors have been lying to us?

I'm gonna need a minute on this one. My programming needs a big update.

New evidence further undermines claim that 2020 election was 'most secure' in history
Declassified documents, other evidence, reveal that despite official assurances of a secure 2020 election, government agencies possessed intelligence regarding significant security vulnerabilities, foreign data breaches, and potential manipulation risks.
After several batches of documents were recently declassified and released by the White House, the American people now have more evidence than ever that while officials claimed 2020 was a historically secure election, the government had plenty of evidence of security vulnerabilities, hacks and foreign interference.
Shortly after the election, senior government officials insisted that it was the "most secure" in American history, deflecting concerns about security, including about voting systems and mail-in-ballots.
...
However, after the new batches of documents were declassified and released this summer by the White House, Americans have more evidence than ever that those same officials knew about significant breaches of election data and internally raised concerns about how foreign actors could influence the election and the vulnerability of electronic voting machines.
...
Maricopa exfiltration of voter registration data
The latest evidence released by the White House this week shows that the FBI investigated a breach of voter registration data in Arizona's largest county in the days before the 2020 election. In that incident, a self-described hacker foiled security and obtained 633,000 voter registration files, but the Biden Justice Department and local prosecutors declined to bring charges even after the FBI got the suspect to confess, Just the News reported on Thursday.
The scraping of Maricopa County's voter registration files was the most flagged security incident in a cyberintrusion log kept by U.S. spy agencies in the days surrounding the Nov. 3, 2020, election, showing that intelligence officials were monitoring the breach while voting was ongoing.

The article discusses China's hacking of the US voter databases. See the article for more on that.

This is the most alarming possibility: We know that Venezuela rigged its own elections to fake a "win" for Maduro.

And Maduro is a nasty communist enemy of the US.

Did he do the same thing to the US elections, to get a demented old socialist fool "elected"?

The declassified documents released by the White House also show that from 2004 to 2020, U.S. intelligence agencies monitored plans by the Venezuelan leadership to electronically manipulate their country's own voting machines, including the use of substituting false votes, to secure victory for the ruling socialists.
The plans raised alarm as early as 2006 among U.S. officials as a potential avenue for the Venezuelans to attempt to "undermine confidence in, or manipulate the electoral process in, the United States," according to a June 2026 CIA summary of prior intelligence reporting on Caracas' capabilities.
By 2020, the CIA had obtained reporting on Venezuelan plans to swing the country's election that year by manipulating electronic voting machines in a way that would make false votes appear legitimate and leave no trace of the changes. The intelligence raised questions about whether some U.S. voting machines could be vulnerable to similar types of manipulation, though agencies assessed that Venezuela did not have the capability to do so in the U.S.

What would we do without "agencies" to tell us that foreign threats aren't threats at all, but opportunities for us to be welcoming and open-minded.

And, of course:

Non-citizens on voter rolls
Additionally, an assessment by the Homeland Security Department found that hundreds-of-thousands of illegal aliens were on the voter rolls in four states -- and estimated the total across the whole country to be higher. A review conducted earlier this year using publicly available voter data in California, Nevada, New Jersey and Pennsylvania found over 250,000 illegal voters on the rolls, Just the News reported.

Tangentially related: While Democrats whine about Trump firing disloyal subversive operatives, Hillary Clinton urges the next Democrat president, who will not be her, to fire every single Republican, no matter how minor or how far from any actual power.

Hillary Clinton: A Democrat president must "get rid of all" Trump admin people so they don't subvert the Democrat administration.

"Do not let anybody hang around in some small office somewhere."

"People are going to have to be searching to make sure that they are not going to… pic.twitter.com/koUfg3M5Yc

She literally complains about Trump's plans to do this, while urging Democrats to do the same thing.

Talk about projection.
But think about what Clinton is saying there -- she's talking about the tactic of suborning a president's agenda by holding the civil service, in the context of accusing President Donald Trump of possibly doing it. She does not appear to be just talking about the political positions, saying a Democrat president needs to get rid of Trump people: "Get rid of all the holdovers. Do not let anybody hang around in some small office somewhere who can literally subvert your program and you don't even know the person is there." She even talks about how you can move people from political positions into the civil service to help keep them in government positions, predicting that Trump "will try to move" people to do this.

The civil service positions aren't supposed to be political appointments. "People are going to have to be really searching," she said, " To make sure they're not going to be literally subverted from within the government."
What was that people were saying about a "deep state" and every accusation being a confession? Is this an admission about the past?
So Clinton would do a "purge" of anyone for the sin of being supportive of Trump or Trump positions. Purging opposing views sounds like a typical move from the folks who keep claiming to be the "defenders of democracy."

We were told the election machines were not connected to the internet. They lied. They can be manipulated by anyone with an internet connection, the address of the machine and the password.

46 28: No, not under the various anti-discrimination laws. Not hiring or firing based on race,national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age (over 40) are all illegal. There is no protection for being a member of a political party.

Unfortunately, the fraud is perpetual. They removed 471,000 ineligible voters from the GA rolls. In less than 30 days, some of the names removed were showing back up. An educated guess is that the DMV is entirely compromised, of some jackass forgot the Motor Voter application of Georgia (which I bleieve is Opt out). So, any of those 471,000 popping in to renew their license gets put right back on the voter rolls, and they likely never knew they were removed in the first place....so they will be voting again, or a surrogate will be in their place.

Some things are known about the relationship between Smartmatic, which was the original Venezuelan company that rigged elections for Chavez and then established an office in Boca Raton, and Dominion but a lot is being hidden behind lawsuits.

Smartmatic sold their Sequoia voting machines division to Dominion but as far as I know it hasn't been proven that Dominion runs Smartmatic software but it seems highly likely even though they deny it.

Smartmatic is now owned by a British group, there they are again, and the guy running it is Lord Malloch Brown who was also at one time the president of George Soros' Open Society Foundation. In other, a complete leftist piece of shit who loves to cheat against conservatives.

I'm sure that's true.

But all 471,000 of them aren't renewing their licenses. Call it - catastrophically over-estimating - 100,000 that get added back.

=======

Ossoff has incumbency and GA is supposedly a swing state, so it makes sense. I hope the clean up of Fulton gives us a pleasant surprise.

Cooper in NC is effectively an incumbent, being the previous governor who just left office 2 years ago and it being an open race. The assumption is that he has that advantage, but he's polling like Cunningham did in 2020 against Tillis, and Cunningham lost, all while the registration advantage Democrats had in 2020 has completely been erased. There were 400,000 more Democrats than Republicans in 2020 in NC. Now there are 10,000 more Republicans than Democrats.

Last time Cooper won statewide election was 2020, and he won by 250,000 votes.

Anyone honest should at least call NC a tossup.

I think it's lean R, frankly. I think Cooper is the underdog, especially since his governorship actually ended pretty badly (Helene) with some bad lingering issues (prisoner releases leading to murders and soft on crime policies that led to Iryna).

Before, we still had the spoils system, but only Democrats got the spoils. We had a perpetual Democrat state in the administrative state that could never be supplanted or reduced.

Trump changed that by firing at least 1/3 of all federal employees for whatever reason he wanted.

So, yes, Democrats will fill the administration from top to bottom with cronies. But so will Republicans when they take office.

119 Those "noncitizens on the voter rolls" are actually mostly dead people. The people using those identities are very much alive, almost all of them illegal aliens who are using a stolen dead person's identity. They can do this because the Social Security Administration recycles SSNs. Using a dead person's SSN apparently does not flag the system for that reason, so Julio Gonzales becomes Henry Schulz, elderly citizen, and he can work. The employer, if ever questioned about hiring an illegal alien, says, "Well, Henry had a valid SSN, so what am I supposed to do?" But of course the employer is never questioned, because everyone liked the system just as it was designed.

122 Most polling is trash you can wipe your backside with until after Labor Day where registered voter screens or all person suddenly become likely voters. Usually GOP bounce in national voting percent is +3 to +4 percent.

Instead of relying on polling per se on the horse race, instead of incumbents or near incumbents like Cooper in NC below 50 percent of the vote. Those are the vulnerable ones where spending on turnout contacts and ads can make a difference.

In Collins' case, she polls poorly in every election and yet wins with the D overstatement in double digits in polling. Depending on which poll you believe, tOssof is below 50 btw in some, not all.

She won by 40. They assumed an average of her winning by 30.

That's outside the margin of error, meaning that the polls, while directionally correct, were actually wrong.

Registered independents in NC lean heavily Republican and have for decades.

Cooper is genuinely the underdog, and NC summer polling showing him ahead tells us nothing because NC summer polling is garbage.

In addition, when governors of the "wrong party" go for Senate races, their whole "good guy from the other party who isn't so bad" aura falls apart. Voters are a bit less partisan on statewide-state level races, but they trend towards hard partisanship on federal statewide races.

Just ask Larry Hogan who went from popular Republican governor of Maryland to losing by about 25 points in the Senate race.

I've been predicting this for years, including in these here little boxes. The easiest thing in the world would be to hand over programs that are already being administered by the states, like Medicaid, housing, and SNAP. The federal government could give the states a declining block grant and let the states either tighten up eligibility (and purge fraud) as the federal money winds down, or replace the declining federal money with their own taxpayers' money (further fueling the exodus of productive citizens and businesses to the red states).

State polling sucks for the most part because it is as expensive as national polling for a representative sample and a helluva lot more difficult in weighting because of rural/urban/suburban respondents non response and then the problem with accurately sampling minorities.

Add in the problem with area codes no longer corresponding with actual addresses and lying about actually voting in past elections (NES--National Election Survey UMich, got absurdly high responses about voting in past elections; when they actually checked who did vote, over time, the divergence between who voted and who lied about voting became a 20-30 point liars gap making the data useless.

150 BREAKING NEWS: A U.S. federal appeals court on Friday ordered President Donald Trump's administration ‌to stop construction on a $400 million ballroom on the site of the White House's demolished East Wing.

'Ordered'?! How? The Judicial Branch judiciates. (if that's a word, I'm buying a lottery ticket).

Hillary Clinton: Raging psychotic lesbian forges ahead to see how far she can go and how much damage she can do. Her bottomless anger and entitlement energize her and drive her forward. I'm not religious, but demonic possession is not a bad model for what's going on here. Perhaps a secular demon is a possible model to describe it.

154 BREAKING NEWS: A U.S. federal appeals court on Friday ordered President Donald Trump's administration ‌to stop construction on a $400 million ballroom on the site of the White House's demolished East Wing.

They upheld an injunction but delayed the order for 14 days for an appeal to SCOTUS. They also did not halt the below ground work.

They're hoping that they can delay it all until they can steal the WH again and some Dem can claim credit for the upgrade.

156 But Congress would probably need to start pulling back on statutory powers at some point to get really to the bone.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison

Not really, you simply do things via state agencies but retain the statutory authority to act and order states to act in compliance with the federal law. We already do this for example with food inspection, environmental compliance, etc. etc. Then there is moving duplicative parts of agencies to one agency--like the DoE moving its authority (and its attorney jobs going away) to the DoJ on civil rights issues. The statutes often don't specify which Fedgov department does the task but simply some department does.

Invite all the federal judges to an event at the WH and say that he sure hopes that no one gets it in their head to kill a bunch of folks since there's no protection there.

166 This is why I have not taken polls seriously for a long time. It’s the narrative masquerading as a scientific poll assessing the probable outcome.

And prediction markets are an even more abstracted version of popular wisdom which comes in a large dose from polling.

You can get reliable polling but it costs a bunch of money because you triangulate data sources--including rando geographic block surveys to check your suppositions as to the population being surveyed.

As one who took Elon's buyout, I'd say a great many of those who left were the thinkers and movers, not the fools that apparently remain. The ones who know they are unemployable in the private sector held onto those government jobs like they were life itself.

Note: The new pop-up ad window continues to make this site difficult to use. The window is still there, but not visible, even after it appears to spontaneously close -- the site is unusable until the ad window is explicitly closed. Tapping anywhere on the page opens an ad web site until this is done. I don't think anybody is looking at the new ads, instead they just try to get rid of them.

I think this is doing real damage to this site -- fewer people looking at it. I hope this can be purged.

Stuff in your freezer is fine for a day, maybe longer if you just leave it alone and don’t open it.

188 I'm quite sure Katie Hobbs will make sure everything is on the up and up in AZ.

Last time she was officially in charge of monitoring her own election for governor. And refused any debates with her opponent. How can you be in charge of monitoring your own election? And she's already stating she won't debate her challenger this time either. Her usual excuse is that they are "election deniers". You know, the elections she supposedly oversaw.

=======

Population declined. 292,000 removed from the workforce, all from 16-59 age group.

Meaning deportations.

Our population is declining (2025 saw the first overall population decline since the 60s because of deportations).

Do you expect 150,000 jobs per month on average when population is declining?

Also, most of the jobs decline was because of decreased public sector employment. Manufacturing was up 50,000.

Also, go eat some hobo ass.
