He’s too honest for Washington and the fact is that honest people are always at a disadvantage when dealing with psychopaths so I would not be too hard on him.

I generally agree with most of your post. And its absolutely true that honest people like Trump are at a disadvantage when dealing with psychopaths (of which there are many in DC).
He faced the monumental challenge of an outsider learning how to manage in an extremely hostile environment. Its hard enough managing people under the best of circumstances but when you add in politics and a sense of takeover things can get very dicey. Trump was facing something that he would say is “resistance like you’ve never seen before”.
As an aside, I know what that’s like on a small scale as I inherited some people from another entity that was acquired —and we moved into THEIR facility! They weren’t too happy with the “new order” and the adjustments they were required to make. The resentment (and some resistance) lingered for at least a year. So I can sympathize with him on a personal level.
One thing I learned from this experience is that you cannot leave the old order in place. If you allow disloyal people to remain in positions where they can undermine you, they will. You’ve got to move them out of the way or run the risk of watching them sabotage your agenda.
That’s the one thing that Trump failed to do, for whatever reasons. And it has haunted him for four years.
I would not fault Trump for not doing the impossible.

Trump has done a superb job, especially under the circumstances. But he’s not perfect. We all make mistakes and allow others to misguide us.
When a president comes into office he has political capital and a unique opportunity to use it. Granted, Trump was ill advised by GOP insiders, but as I’m sure you know Sun Tsu emphasized the importance/criticality of maintaining control in your ranks and not doing so invites defeat.
Again, you cannot afford to leave disloyal people in positions where they can undermine you. This is Management 101.
on twitter, CodeMonkeyZ’s (aka Ron’s) most recent post as of now is about the use of (ieee 754) floating point data representation to store and transmit votes in the form of ratios of the total vote count (stored as an integer).
CodeMonkeyZ’s twitter is here
https://twitter.com/CodeMonkeyZ
IMHO almost any programmer would look at this and consider it (at least on first glance) a flawed way to transmit multiple discrete integer values (candidate a total, candidat b total, candidate c total, etc) ... unless the data is intended to be used as an indirect or estimated measurement, and a measurement in which ratios are considered more important than totals... IOW polls. Dominion evidently contains administrative software commands that permits shifting votes from one candidate to another. This showed up in the alleged edison data available online. Legally everything info-flow downstream of the precinct databases (perhaps down to the electronic ballot boxes themselves) can be regarded as at least to some degree non-authoritative and derivative since only the certified results are authoritative. Keeping this in mind, the software and data downstream of the ballot boxes (including edison data) is derivative. This in theory would permit development of ad hoc non authoritative data processing methods to be used in storage of data and calculation of measurements such as totals and ratios. Such methods and storage could even be leveraged from polling software. Polling software needs to account for sampling biases. One way to account for biases is to manipulate the data in ways that compensate for the biases, and have those biases reflected in final tabulation in the form of adjusted ratios. All of this might account for the seemingly ad hoc methods that CodeMonkeyZ observes. It’s just supposition based on observations, but i have not seen any other explanation posted elsewhere yet. A weak conjecture might in such cases be better than no conjecture whatsoever.
haha, i see that the meme apparently a reference to office space, which i never saw (at that time i was waaaay too busy with messing up on the job in real life lol). i was seeing that meme in the past few hours and wondering where it came from, thanks.

regarding ratio adjustments, dr. shiva’s nov. 10. 2020 youtube presentation may be relevant:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ztu5Y5obWPk
a link to a (anonymous? truncated?) summary from ar15.com follows (mentioning the “weighted race allocation” feature):
TLDW (WITH TIMESTAMPS)
6:12 Input No voter registration card. No authentication. No receipt for the personal that actually voted. Can YOU prove you voted in an election? Conclusion: No definitive proof of your voting in an election.
6:55 Output In input is 30 voters, say 10 voted for A, 20 for B. The output should give (30 ballots - 30 voters)
10 votes for A, 20 votes for B Provided the SYSTEM cannot change the OUTPUT
If that’s possible, then there is ambiguity If output can be manipulated, then we have no idea (e.g. “evidence” is not evidence, it is ambiguous) We have no idea what the black box did, and we cannot REPRODUCE the input from the output to verify!
7:58 Ballot Images Tabulation machines scan images of the ballot. These images are what is counted (and stored). They are “the ballot” since they are the only record. The images are supposed to be (per fed law) maintained for 22 months. Many states ignore this and delete the images, meaning we cannot count or audit the representations of the phsyical ballots
by design from the states and in contravention of federal election law!
10:05 Weighted Race Feature
All digital voting tabulators since Diebold (the original) have a FEATURE called “Weighted Race”. This allows the vote counter to tell the system how to alter the output according to some weights (e.g. distribute votes unevenly or play with fractions).
11:04 Storing Our Votes as Decimals
This enables obfuscation of the system, since the output is represented in decimal percentages by precinct. These are not INTEGER numbers (e.g. raw counts), but percentages (e.g. floating point numbers stored on a computer). This introduces both inaccuracy and ambiguity, since the system changes the output (going from counting to imprecise fractional representation). This opens the door for manipulating vote distributions. We see the results in older races (like Shiva’s in MA), where the total number of votes exceeded the number of voters in ALL city/towns. Either by design or rounding error (wink).
Ex. As the total number of votes increased, they expect to see the actual distribution stabilize (e.g. approaching the actual population of voter percentage). In the hand-counted county, this occurs. In all other machine-counted counties (again for Shiva’s MA election), the percentage does NOT converge, which is not natural, and indicative of fraud.
14:04 Executive summary
In three major counties analyzed, Trump’s margin was reduced by a minimum of 138000 votes
Trump’s vote total was decreased by 69K Biden’s vote total was increased by 69K
In short, 69K votes from Trump were transferred to Biden in these 3 counties.
[Ed. note - there appears to be hard evidence for a weighted-race algorithm employed to ensure that where Trump would be expected to do well proportionally, e.g. in larger straight-ticket Republican precincts, he did the opposite!
This phenomenon repeated through multiple counties, and only “kicks in” when the % of Republican straight ticket count is above 20-25%. Before the vote hacking occurs, Trump substantially outperforms the straight ticket republican votes in these assumably proportionally smaller Red precincts!]
23:54 Negative correlation with trump popularity vs. republicans in Oakland County
Odd that 45% straight party EV in Oakland County yielded 20% invidivual votes only. Strong (almost perfect) negative correlation with straight party Republican.
Implication (assuming straight ticket = individual candidate), 10% of trump individual voters were given to biden. (200 votes) (not totally clear)
30:57 Noticed that Outliers on the negative correlation (adjacent) where trump won, indicated vote trading from trump to biden.
Establishes a trend, which can be fit based on empirical data. 31:34 Total of 40K estimated EV transferred
LOL, Trump more population in 20% or less straight party line precincts according to data, drastically less popular as a linear function OMG
“Too structured; too perfect” Reminds about weighted race feature from Diebold and similar machines
33:30 Election Day voting, same exact phenomenon! LOL 20K estimated 60K vote transfer overall for one county
34:52 Macomb, Trump does even better in the low range (up to 25%), then correction kicks in....same stuff.
Election day, he’s doing even better ~22% on election day, then hack kicks in....
Total 33K
36:22 Kent County.... Same correction, 45K hacked votes 85% republican, Trump is at 25%? NO WAY
Linear phenomenon is unnatural, should be clustered.
38:07 Wayne County
Different result (probably different algorthim). Trump does even better in ostensbily low republican counties, much higher yield for individual Trump. Clear that Trump does better.
39:48 Results Algorithm moves Trump votes to BIDEN As precincts increase with more % of Republican straight ticket, greater % of trump votes transferred to BIDEN.
SLOPE IS THE ~SAME FOR EACH COUNTY! Wayne County had no Trump hack algorithm detected (at least not the same)
41:50 Discussion Algorithm is assumed to be a weighted race allocation method. Transfer a % of votes from one candidate to another THe % is a “Weighted” decimal value Weighted Race is a documented feature in ALL vendors (including Dominion) Assume derived from original Diebold stuff (featured).
Why are more % of Trump votes transferred to BIDEN precincts that have more Republicans?
Are BOTH republicans and democracts involved in supporting this algorithm?
Are BOTH parties aware of such features in these voting systems?
Is it Possible that this pattern is normal, and explains a normal voting pattern?
Is Mitt Romney right? Since Republicans stayed Republican, but no longer liked Trump?
45:17 If that were true, you would expect to see a more uniform decrease with losses, not a LINEAR decrease that worsens proportional to Republican representation! (KILLER)
47:30 Phil - What % chance what we’re seeing is not an algorithm?
Benny - Rarely would say 0%, 1%. It’s just not something you would see again. The engineering is reversing the organization of the precincts. As they grow in size, at some point, you’re supposed to strike an average. (Diverges!). Not germane to something that’s natural, must be artificial.
Are BOTH parties Democrats and Republicans aware of the algorithmic process? Is a coup underway? Who is behind such a coup: Democrats, Republicans, or BOTH? Or, did BIDEN win?
50:00 Conclusion Inputs and outputs to our voting systems are unverifiable. Need for: verifiable inputs (permanent voter registration card) open source software handmarked paper ballots Viable solution because if at any point you want to remove the computer from the process, you can still arrive at an output. Voter intent is enshrined with hand-eye coordination.
The documented feature of a weighted election is such a bad idea. The only verifiable to us is the input.
Think that what happened was in MI, they saw something was wrong in some counties (flat curve) and hand counted. In bigger counties, left it with the machines and produced a curve.
The image of the ballot is what the machine counts. That ballot image IS the ballot. Those ballot images (in many states) are DELETED. There is no way to reproduce. Saving of ballot images is a factory setting. Ballot voting companies are trying to be compliant with federal law (save all records for election for 22 months). Places like MA don’t save. They claim that MA state has a different law that allows them to delete the images.
[Has copies of email conversations with MA secretary of state, shared on twitter, SOS got Shiva banned for 21 days!, went for injunction pro se, judge Mark Wolf agreed that SOS had induced twitter! Learned of National Organization of Sate Election Directors controlled by Rockerfeller Bros and Murdoch Co. NASED also contated Twitter to have Shiva banned! WTF!]
save ballot images pursuant to federal law publish ballot images publicly (allow for public recount) automatic audits - audit every election publish precinct leel data (poll tapes) on electio [sic]
