This is the wild tale of Michele Long Spears, initially the apparent loser who wound up winning an election by overcoming a “glitch” in the voting machines. IMO this is a highly under-reported story.
After the contentious election in 2018 in a race that Stacey Abrams claimed was mismanaged, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger ordered the purchase of new voting machines from Dominion, and they came with a caveat.
Cybersecurity experts and election integrity activists warn that the new machines suffer from many of the same problems as the old ones, including being vulnerable to hacking, and advocate for a system using hand-marked paper ballots.They were delivered in December of 2019.
A woman named Michele Long Spears was in a primary running for DeKalb County Commissioner. There were three candidates and the runoff would cull the lowest vote getter out of the race. In the voter machine tabulation Spears seemed to have the lowest vote total but she noticed something odd. She had received zero votes in her own district – despite she and her husband voting for her.
In all but four of the district’s nearly 40 precincts, no Election Day votes were recorded for Ms. Spears, who had received more than 2,000 early votes. She said that she immediately alerted state and county election authorities.She eventually won the runoff. That’s really where the questions begin. The fault was placed on “programming errors” and “technical issues.”“When I visited several precincts (including my own) after Election Day and saw ZERO votes reported for myself, I was shocked and knew that wasn’t accurate,” Ms. Spears said in a text message.
After conducting a hand count over the Memorial Day weekend and auditing those returns, election officials determined that they had drastically underreported the vote totals for Ms. Spears.
She received 43 percent of the vote, not 24 percent, as reported by an unofficial and incomplete election summary posted on May 25 on the county’s website. As the top vote-getter, Ms. Spears qualified for a June 21 runoff against the second-place candidate, Lauren Alexander.
The candidates expressed concerns:

In other news, Republicans in the U.S. senate were stunned when the latest Democrat bill passed overwhelmingly by a vote of 75-50.
Fair elections, that ship has sailed.
I didn’t see an answer about why people questioning the elections are being treated as criminals.
Most of the defeated party doesn’t care, so nothing will change.
So eventually, when you vote GOP, your Bidenbucks card will be turned off when you try to buy food for your family.
There pants and socks don’t match.
I noticed this back in 2008 when I casted a vote for Ron Paul in my primary. Results showed no one voted for him.
These Dominion machines create uncertainty in the election system. They should be ripped out of every state just to restore the perception of legitimacy in the election system. The Dominion name has been trashed.
Completely agree. I have zero confidence in our election system anymore. Especially since where I live, Democrats rule and Dominion voting machines are used.
Election you say? Nah. I'll pass. Not wasting my time anymore. Especially here in HELLINOIS. Maybe when I move to somewhere that Democrats don't run everything and Dominion machines aren't used I'll start voting again.

You better be moving quick because from what I’m seeing, it won’t be long before Dems control every State in the Union. That’ll be game/set/match.
With open borders and the Millenials and Gen Z in control, it’s inevitable.

Just sayin'. We're gonna need it.
OMG
Yes sir, I'm the terrorist who supports a MAGA running for office. Would you like to send your FBI thugs over to arrest me or take my cellphone? Or send it in?
Would you like me to turn myself into the IRS or shoot myself? Do you want me to spell my name for your records...I'm so sorry sir... yes, I'll send a donation to Biden. How much? How much do you wnat? Yes, sir, I'll send it off today.
Click.
Honey, get the kids - we're going into hiding.
Bkmk
Technical Issues = Look Over There
funny how “programming errors,” “technical issues,” and “glitches” always seem to favor Democrats.
The reason we are to be treated as criminals is because we might be right and call into question the entire system.
Why do States keep doing business with Dominion? Are the Kickbacks that great?
A computer that cannot count is ... well, you have to work hard to make it count wrong. Maybe optical scanners don't work right, maybe the algorithm for detecting a mark in an oval isn't perfect ... but if that's the case then they are not ready for actual use. You would never fly in a plane if you were told the landing gears worked ... most of the time. Or that some else outside the plane could take over the plane and fly it wherever they wanted it to go, not where you were planning on going.
Yet the official position of both parties is that it's fine and computers that somehow cannot count and somehow cannot see votes are the most accurate and perfect system we could ever use.
