Lev-- Another aspect of election "reform", perhaps the most dangerous, is the control of the voting machines themselves. I believe he already has this control, based on widespread irregularities (drop-off ballots, exit poll discrepancies, failed audits)
Is there a way to get a count of the votes of Democrats? Like a local registry. I haven't thought about this through completely, so can we brainstorm this?
I read a story about the presidential election where Kamala had zero votes in districts where people said they had voted for her.
Local boards of elections (in California called “registrar of Voters”) maintain the vote breakdown, usually by precinct. So anyone can take a look. Drop-off is a calculation based on this public vote data. Want to get involved? Contact smartelections.us
I agree with Chris. I was a precinct clerk, judge, and precinct supervisor on Election Day for 12 years. It's exhausting work, so I stopped seven years ago. But the Registrar of Voters will be happy to have me back (they call me for most elections) and I will volunteer (it's paid!) if necessary for the 2026 election. Believe me, if you don't return the same number of ballots, you don't go home until you find the missing ballots (it never happened to me, but...) And they check the machine tallies against hand tallying for a certain number of precincts.
That’s much better than NY, where they don’t even count the ballots to compare to the machine count. Audits in NY are useless. Custody of the ballots is not respected. Descrepancies between machine count and manual count (when they do it!) are simply ignored, not reported.
Frightening to know that’s what is coming. I’m fighting. Thank you, Lev. PS — please make sure you get back on Rachel Maddow’s and/or Jen Psaki’s show. ✌️
I'm not surprised, I've been saying this for months. There will be no more fair elections. They'll be like what Putin has. The people vote and it's rigged that he's always the winner. Sitting around talking about this stuff isn't fixing anything. We need to get him out of power now, not wait around for him to succeed at destroying us. We're running out of time. Need some planners and some action. This has already gone to far.
Trump was spewing his controversial message last Jul 2024, saying the following “Trump told the crowd to “get out and vote, just this time”, adding that “you won’t have to do it any more. Four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine, you won’t have to vote any more, my beautiful Christians.”’
I don’t think Trump can keep secrets very well, he says the quiet part out loud, then says he’s joking but really means it. Remember he respects people that stand up to him like Adam Kinzinger
Yes I remember that very well. I remember thinking oh hell No he’s going to do something to make it so there’s no more elections. I said that to a few people in my family and my friends and they were saying no way that’s not what he meant. I Said I think you’re wrong that’s exactly what it meant. 😡 Well Guess what? Here we are!🤬😞 Most of my family are Trumper’s. So they always want to argue with me. I don’t know 🤷🏼♀️ why they don’t see it. It totally baffles me.
Mary, I have the same type of family members. Additionally, when I've had discussions with people, they tell me they voted for Trump because they wanted something different. So, here we are stuck with a monster.
What does "Trump’s first executive initiative once he consolidates full power." Consolidates full power mean? And as others have said - he already got to the tabulation machines to win this election.
Musk hacked the tabluation machines for him. Starlink is perfect for that type of transaction. Musk and Trump seem to be on the outs, so let's see what happens. Not that I trust Musk either.
Okay, now what do we do? It is time for action of some kind. It has to be organized and timed and MASSIVE. So what type of action? Is this an armed revolution we are talking about? By us, against our non-President and his war/power machine?
Lev, thank you for this information. I've been thinking about this for a while. During the G7 Summit in Canada, there was a press conference prior to the summit. PM Carney stopped the press conference because Trump was spewing his garbage as usual. So, as they were moving the press out the door, one reporter asked Trump if he was concerned about the midterm elections, and he said he's not because democratic states will not be voting. I don't think many people caught that coverage; it was a last-ditch question by a reporter exiting the building.
How do we fight voter suppression? How do we, the people, fight this type of action? I think we should start now. Can this be discussed with the Governors for each state? Please interview the Governors on Substack. How do they plan on protecting our right to vote? Will they provide a safety net in the form of Security at each polling center? ICE should not be at these voting centers. If we are at a voting center, we are Americans. This would be racial profiling by ICE.

Awful! I'd sue!
Thank you, Chris! This helps. 😉💕
I saw that too. We would also have to count the independents who vote Democratic. That is if we have elections at all or just not pro forma. Sux.

Thanks for posting this. I have been worrying about this matter for the past few weeks, and this confirms my thoughts.

He always falls victim to himself by saying the quiet part out loud, I couldn’t have said that better myself.

Lev, I’m terrified!

They can also “run” out of ballots in democratic leaning districts, or feign computer glitches among a few things.
N O

OMG..
😱😤
Remember Trump's father refused to fight against Hitler
I am frightened.
