On November 15th, Stephen Spoonamore sent a letter to Kamala Harris, alleging that the November Presidential election was stolen. Spoonamore's allegation gained enough traction that Snopes felt the need to refute the allegation, in an article Snopes titled “Claims in 'Duty to Warn' Letter to Harris Alleging Compromised Election Are Misleading”. His most recent letter to the Harris campaign is here, on Substack.

His letter begins as follows:

This is my second Duty to Warn Letter regarding hacking of the 2024 Presidential Election. The first letter on November 7 was directed to Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Officials.  Both warnings are made per DNI Clapper’s 2015 directive to all agencies and contractors associated with intelligence and financial agency technologies to warn of suspicions of hacking.  

Professionally I have worked as the CEO or CTO at seven high technology firms including two which specialized in hacking and counter-hacking operations.  My clients have included numerous governments DoD, DHS, Dept. of State, F100 Financials and F500 Industrials. 

It is a long letter, this paragraph summarizes his view. The details are in the letter. Spoonamore continues: In my view, a capable and skilled series of exploits, electronic tools and hacks were used to change the Presidential vote in all seven swing states.  These activities have reversed the outcomes in at least Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin.  I will lay out the basics of the attack, starting with unusual elements within the results.  I will then outline two processes which could have been followed to insert these false results into the system.  Finally I will outline how I would recommend investigating. 

The Free Press first reported extensively on the stolen election of 2004, including these two articles which refer to Spoonamore's work. First, “’04 Election Apologists Still Unmoved By Mountain of Evidence: Columbus Dispatch Ignores Facts” (August 2008) and the second in July 2011 “New court filing reveals how the 2004 Ohio presidential election was hacked”. The second article, reporting on the court case King Lincoln Bronzeville v. Blackwell , included the schematic for the Ohio Secretary of State (Ken Blackwell) that was used in the electoral theft.

Spoonamore was an expert witness in the King Lincoln Bronzeville v. Blackwell court case alleging election tampering in Ohio's 2004 presidential election. In his testimony, he outlined how a "man in the middle" attack at the final computer vote tabluation level resulted in Bush's 2004 win in Ohio. On election night 2004, Ohio Secretary of State (SOS) Blackwell sent his Information Techinology (IT) person home around 9pm and then invoked a contract that was intended to be used as a backup in an emergency. The contract allowed the SOS to send Ohio's vote count to an out-of-state company, Smarttech. A man named Michael Connell ran the private IT firm GovTech that transferred Ohio's vote count to the partisan Republican server site in Chattanooga, Tennessee owned by SmarTech.  Connell was the Bush administration's and Karl Rove's IT guru. After massaging the results, John Kerry's lead in Ohio was erased around 1am following the election. Connell was later assassinated, or died in an accident when his plane crashed in clear weather on Christmas Eve 2008, shortly after being deposed in the King Lincoln Bronzeville v. Blackwell case.

There are three books published or supported by the Free Press following that election. What Happened in Ohio: A Documentary Record of Theft And Fraud in the 2004 Election (Bob Fitrakis, Harvey Wasserman and Steven Rosenfeld)

How the GOP Stole America's 2004 Election & Is Rigging 2008 ; by Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman
