Audit elections by third party auditors
and/or RLA's,
hand count as necessary. Study up on Digital Ballot Images records (the actual scanned image of the paper ballot)
cast vote record lists (spreadsheets of all votes)
Here's the thing: An off-the-shelf scanner set to read OCR only and Microsoft Excel program can verify results at little cost. Can be done before verification.
Here's why it matters. Some of us in the election integrity movement of the last 25 years think there's been plenty of "steal", actually. No matter. Done "deal". But let's not let election deniers get sick of trying to clean up elections. RECRUIT THEM! We agree! Human-verified results are possible! Surely they will work with us to achieve this goal. 'Nuff said.
I will by june be able to subscribe had to store up my panty. Keep working i will come in Senior citizen. i have sub stack also. I have to save my democracy 73 year old
Thank you guys for making it so clear what is happening right now and how critical it is. I'm so fucking angry at what is happening in the US, and I appreciate the work each of you is doing to get us thinking and to inspire us to help pull in others to this platform.
Yes, picking out republicans in congress and getting them to flip is a good idea. I started making a list with this in mind last week. We need to focus on two types: the most middle of the road with re-election coming up in 2026, and those that have particular things they actually care about, like Thune. Good if people commit to repeated contact/conversations with particular individuals.
Maybe you guys could maintain a signup list so people can see who's in need of extra attention.
But.. there also has to be recognition and support of these individuals in terms of their fears past the simple betrayal of the hive mind. Some in congress are afraid for their lives and the lives of their families. For instance, I question whether former judge Jessica Aber's sudden death at the age of 43, with an autopsy put off past the point of detecting certain non-natural causes of death, wasn't an assassination meant to scare sitting judges.
So I think we also need to let these republicans know we'll keep a watch and post loudly about anything done against them for crossing the aisle.
Also, one group to consider is the nine republicans who did vote in spite of Johnson's insistence on maintaining ranks. This was only because it was in the group's own selfish interest -- they wanted something like 12 weeks maternity leave for mothers and fathers. But once they've broken ranks, maybe easier to get them to do it again. Also good to look into more possible self-interest breaking ranks.
One more thing, good if you guys make up a variety of downloadable PDF flyers with simple important points and important group to contact for demonstrations and actions. These would be easy to carry around and ask stores, libraries, etc, to let them be out up, and they can be handed out to friends, people we meet, etc. They could say the more obvious things, like "No Americans in foreign prison camps."
You guys were really on fire with this show. I do believe you have the right idea…just get 5 or 6 house republicans and a few senators to do the right thing. Cross the aisle, work with the Dems & let’s start getting this shit show turned around. Will be interesting in 2 weeks to see how many people watch & what the 3 of you come up with. Who are the republicans that are most likely to take a chance & work with the Dems?
It's a conversational style. It got a little awkward during this broadcast, true. I was raised in a family where there was tons of cross talk and it really increases spontaneity and a conversation as long as you can hear what people are saying.
A poll tonight in northeast PA where Bresnahan narrowly beat Matt Cartwright said that Hegseth should be fired by 72% of the opinion survey. People are done with incompetence.
Never miss this from Canada 🇨🇦
Listen, we will be lucky if we have ANY chance of our votes counting in 2026....seriously
True.

At my age I do not have 20 friends
Sure you do. Get out in the streets with us, you'll find more!
I'll be one!
Thank you
One more point -- if Substack is doing what other places no longer are, what are the ways to protect it from being sabotaged and taken over?

Love this. Keep up the good work, so we can get rid of that f...n piece of shit.
I am a pissed off 🇨🇦
Done with wapo, cbs, and all who have submitted to the regime. On my way to ruling out much of NYT.
Our election must be safe and secure. Dems must secure the house and senate for checks and balances
Vlad. How do we get the Russian people on with us. The world could be rid of both evil men.

I like all three of you, I really do appreciate your individual strengths but PLEASE STOP YELLING AND TALKING OVER EACH OTHER.

Thank you! Yes, fear is not an option at this point! We must act. We are literally the only ones that have a chance of saving ourselves.
Thank you all! Do not have enough to spend each month on so many voices here, but please know your voices are important and appreciated. Thank you.
