The Free Press has been a leader in the fight for fair elections, beginning with the stolen election in 2004 (Kerry vs Bush). Working with the Green Party, we orchestrated election observer programs from 2006 to 2014. We covered the 2020 election which was not stolen. At the time, we attributed that to changes in the systems, including having paper trails on all machines, establishing audit procedures, and the like.

After listening to a former crybaby Orange President blather on about stolen elections for 4 years, the country, including this author, is loath to Trump-cry about this election

being stolen. Nonetheless...

Nonetheless...there are credible computer scientists and data scientists who are credibly claiming serious issues with the last election that likely indicate that Trump may have stolen this election by manipulating votes at the tabulator level, possibly with Elon Musk involvement.

Stephen Spoonamore worked with the Free Press after the 2004 Stolen Election. SourceWatch, via ChatGPT, says this about Steve:

SMART Elections and Lulu Friesdat wrote this piece for substack titled Strange Numbers. Lula Friesdat also collaborated with the Free Press back in 2004. Friesdat's bio: Co-founder & Executive Director of SMART Elections. Thought Leader, TEDx Speaker & Filmmaker. Feat in NY Times, Wash Post, The Hill & Politico.

SMART Elections is an innovative, nonpartisan project. We are transforming U.S. elections by improving security & providing public oversight. We want the public to have full confidence in election results.

Spoonamore fired the first shot in credibly questioning this election when he wrote his “Duty to Warn” letter to the Harris/Biden team. He states: You should reverse your concession, call for both a full investigation of criminal activity and demand hand recounts in all seven swing states.

In my professional view there are multiple and extremely clear indications the Presidential vote was willfully compromised.

He has since posted several updates, here and here and here.

The “Strange Numbers” article begins with this. I recommend the graphs and charts in the article.

What we’re presenting today is an analysis of what we call “drop-off.”

We measure the difference between the votes for the President and the next down-ballot race, both in raw numbers and in percentages for each major party (Democrat and Republican).

The Free Press encourages readers to familiarize themselves with the allegations and facts around the election that has dashed the hopes of so many progressive thinking people.
