Now that we know the 'Duty To Warn' letter written by Stephen Spoonamore is misleading per Snopes as discussed here: https://lemmy.world/post/22317681, I figured it was worth mentioning there is another unrelated letter with a similar message that seems more credible. The letter is linked in the article, but here's a direct link for the curious: https://freespeechforpeople.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/letter-to-vp-harris-111324-1.pdf

The election machines have always been and always will be vulnerable. See the tom scott video on the issue.

There was also a documentary way back in 2006 called Hacking Democracy that showed Diebold voting machines that are still in use today could be hacked: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacking_Democracy

Get off the hopium. It's not going to happen.

I'm not sure what you're getting at. I'm simply sharing news that there are other independent parties requesting recounts for reasons unrelated to anything Stephen Spoonamore was alleging. Even if we really did find proof, I fully believe the supreme court would do the same thing they did in 2000 with Bush vs Gore and stop the recount to ensure Trump stays president.

EDIT: Now that I've posted it though, I see it was already posted elsewhere, and I just missed it apparently.

Nullification is not off the table.

Just ignore what the president says. "States Rights" amirite?
