There was a manual recount that came to the same results. https://eu.freep.com/story/news/loca...ts/3937898001/.

"Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said the audit was conducted "to assure the public of what countless officials from both parties at the federal, state and local levels have already confirmed — that this was the most secure election in our nation’s history and the certified results are an accurate reflection of the will of the voters."
If brain's anonymous log in information is true, it doesn't sound very secure to me.

Ah ****. I'm not super up to date on all the minor events that make the US news cycle. Shame though, I thought we were having some nice small talk. That's one thing I always definitely enjoy in the US - being able to strike up a conversation with pretty much anyone. Not really the same here, unfortunately.

My own time in The Netherlands was fairly brief, and limited to just Groningen. But I found the locals there to be extremely friendly and approachable.
Perhaps this is just because I am obviously American (well, once you hear me speak. At first sight, most Europeans assume that I'm Spanish, which is technically correct from an ethnic standpoint), but I did not find the people there to be cold or inhospitable.
Now, on the street, I personally think it's a fiction that Americans will strike up a conversation with literally anyone. Granted, this does tend to be the case in very small towns in the midwest and New England, but it's by no means representative of the country as a whole.

Pretty sure it is just like playing The Sims... but with flying monkeys and midgets.

I find this interesting.

I do think when you do get to talking, Dutch people are actually pretty nice and won't mind at all. It's just the the initial barrier seems to be a bit higher. It could also be that you unknowingly broke those barriers pretty quickly with American flair. Also, Groningen is great. Much more authentically Dutch than Amsterdam, for sure. And because it's remote (by Dutch standards), it has a tightly knit community that is not too common in other major Dutch cities.
(I'll also leave out my Midwest-experiences: I loathed having to exchange superficial pleasantries with everyone all the time)

No one expected the numbers not to match; a simple audit was never going to uncover the fraud. the ballots were manipulated in order to jive with the falsified tabulation, this was by design and why the illegal mail-in ballots law changes were key/vital to the fraud. It's also why a judge in GA wants to look at them.
but this is besides the point. the machines weren't supposed to have internet access, yet they were remotely logged into with an anonymous account--twice. that's the entire point of my post.
There's literally no proof this was a secure and honest election.

I mean, the logging in in itself is worth investigating, but I honestly don't see how you can conclude that an election on the third of November should be decertified because someone logged in on the 5th.
For a bunch of self-proclaimed critical thinkers, you guys haven't really shown much critical thinking skills..
