Is this the kind of shenanigan stuff that you thought/were convinced was going in the first "stolen" election?

Saw this posted elsewhere and thought it was interesting. Not sure where that poster got it from.

"The missing votes uncovered in Smart Elections’ legal case in Rockland County, New York, are just the tip of the iceberg—an iceberg that extends across the swing states and into Texas.

On Monday, an investigator’s story finally hit the news cycle: Pro V&V, one of only two federally accredited testing labs, approved sweeping last-minute updates to ES&S voting machines in the months leading up to the 2024 election—without independent testing, public disclosure, or full certification review.

These changes were labeled “de minimis”—a term meant for trivial tweaks. But they touched ballot scanners, altered reporting software, and modified audit files—yet were all rubber-stamped with no oversight.

That revelation is a shock to the public.
But for those who’ve been digging into the bizarre election data since November, this isn’t the headline—it’s the final piece to the puzzle. While Pro V&V was quietly updating equipment in plain sight, a parallel operation was unfolding behind the curtain—between tech giants and Donald Trump.

And it started with a long forgotten sale.

A Power Cord Becomes a Backdoor

In March 2021, Leonard Leo—the judicial kingmaker behind the modern conservative legal machine—sold a quiet Chicago company by the name of Tripp Lite for $1.65 billion. The buyer: Eaton Corporation, a global power infrastructure conglomerate that just happened to have a partnership with Peter Thiel’s Palantir.

To most, Tripp Lite was just a hardware brand—battery backups, surge protectors, power strips. But in America’s elections, Tripp Lite devices were something else entirely.

They are physically connected to ES&S central tabulators and Electionware servers, and Dominion tabulators and central servers across the country. And they aren’t dumb devices. They are smart UPS units—programmable, updatable, and capable of communicating directly with the election system via USB, serial port, or Ethernet.

ES&S systems, including central tabulators and Electionware servers, rely on Tripp Lite UPS devices. ES&S’s Electionware suite runs on Windows OS, which automatically trusts connected UPS hardware.

If Eaton pushed an update to those UPS units, it could have gained root-level access to the host tabulation environment—without ever modifying certified election software.

In Dominion’s Democracy Suite 5.17, the drivers for these UPS units are listed as “optional”—meaning they can be updated remotely without triggering certification requirements or oversight. Optional means unregulated. Unregulated means invisible. And invisible means perfect for infiltration.
...
Enter the ballot scrubbing platform BallotProof. Co-created by Ethan Shaotran, a longtime employee of Elon Musk and current DOGE employee, BallotProof was pitched as a transparency solution—an app to “verify” scanned ballot images and support election integrity.

With Palantir's AI controlling the backend, and BallotProof cleaning the front, only one thing was missing: the signal to go live.

September 2024: Eaton and Musk Make It Official

Then came the final public breadcrumb:
In September 2024, Eaton formally partnered with Elon Musk.
The stated purpose? A vague, forward-looking collaboration focused on “grid resilience” and “next-generation communications.”
But buried in the partnership documents was this line:

“Exploring integration with Starlink's emerging low-orbit DTC infrastructure for secure operational continuity.”

The Activation: Starlink Goes Direct-to-Cell

That signal came on October 30, 2024—just days before the election, Musk activated 265 brand new low Earth orbit (LEO) V2 Mini satellites, each equipped with Direct-to-Cell (DTC) technology capable of processing, routing, and manipulating real-time data, including voting data, through his satellite network.

DTC doesn’t require routers, towers, or a traditional SIM. It connects directly from satellite to any compatible device—including embedded modems in “air-gapped” voting systems, smart UPS units, or unsecured auxiliary hardware.

From that moment on:
- Commands could be sent from orbit
- Patch delivery became invisible to domestic monitors
- Compromised devices could be triggered remotely

This groundbreaking project that should have taken two-plus years to build, was completed in just under ten months.

Elon Musk boasts endlessly about everything he’s launching, building, buying—or even just thinking about—whether it’s real or not. But he pulls off one of the largest and fastest technological feats in modern day history… and says nothing? One might think that was kind of… “weird.”

According to New York Times reporting, on October 5—just before Starlink’s DTC activation—Musk texted a confidant:

“I’m feeling more optimistic after tonight. Tomorrow we unleash the anomaly in the matrix.”

Then, an hour later:

“This isn’t something on the chessboard, so they’ll be quite surprised. ‘Lasers’ from space.”

It read like a riddle. In hindsight, it was a blueprint.
...
The Outcome

Data that makes no statistical sense. A clean sweep in all seven swing states.
The fall of the Blue Wall. Eighty-eight counties flipped red—not one flipped blue.
Every victory landed just under the threshold that would trigger an automatic recount. Donald Trump outperformed expectations in down-ballot races with margins never before seen—while Kamala Harris simultaneously underperformed in those exact same areas.

If one were to accept these results at face value—Donald Trump, a 34-count convicted felon, supposedly outperformed Ronald Reagan. According to the co-founder of the Election Truth Alliance:

“These anomalies didn’t happen nationwide. They didn’t even happen across all voting methods—this just doesn’t reflect human voting behavior.”

They were concentrated.
Targeted.
Specific to swing states and Texas—and specific to Election Day voting.

And the supposed explanation? “Her policies were unpopular.”

Let’s think this through logically. We’re supposed to believe that in all the battleground states, Democratic voters were so disillusioned by Vice President Harris’s platform that they voted blue down ballot—but flipped to Trump at the top of the ticket?

Not in early voting.
Not by mail.
With exception to Nevada, only on Election Day.
And only after a certain threshold of ballots had been cast—where VP Harris’s numbers begin to diverge from her own party, and Trump’s suddenly begin to surge. As President Biden would say, “C’mon, man.”

In the world of election data analysis, there’s a term for that: vote-flipping algorithm.
...
And of course, Donald Trump himself:
He spent a year telling his followers he didn’t need their votes—at one point stating,

“...in four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not gonna have to vote.”

quote:

"in four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not gonna have to vote."

Trump Declines to Back Away From ‘You Don’t Have to Vote Again’ Line
The former president, in an interview on Fox News, declined to back away from his comments and repeated his argument that if he’s elected, “the country will be fixed” and their votes won’t be needed.

NYT July 30, 2024

I've seen more than one article similar to the one in the OP claiming the 2024 election was rigged. But the detail in the OP article are in more detail, and it is plausible.

I haven't posted any links because I don't trust the sources enough, yet.

I would love it if this can be proven.

If it is true, then Trump knew about it in advance, for sure. It makes sense that he would say something like he said to the Christians. It's like coded language, but to most it's talking in riddles, which isn't unusual for him.

If it's true, then Musk knows. Can you imagine the significance of that? Who's holding the cards, and what cards?

Anything is possible with those MFs mentioned in the article, at the center of it. IOW, if it could be done, they did it with no qualms.

Electronic voting CANNOT be TRUSTED!

In person, with proper ID, is the only way to do it!

Who does electronic voting? Last time I voted in person a paper ballot was fed into a vote counting machine. I don't recall voting with any machine that didn't accept paper ballots.

Same here. I have never voted anything but on paper.

No

Haven’t seen a paper ballot in a long time. Cooke County Texas uses machines.

What didoes it make?

Who wins?

Regardless, you are losers!

You have had a half decent president since Bush 1!

Bush 2, known as Chimpy as being Cheney’s little monkey!

My paper ballot was fed into a machine.

I did some research on some of the basic claimed facts in the OP article, and found them to be accurate. I haven't verified them all yet, and not sure they all can be verified.

But anyway, the point of the OP seems to me to be that it doesn't matter if paper or machine or both, the Tripp-lite devices could alter the outcome.

I don’t really care for the electronic tabulation. Yes, we use it here in MN. This article does hit on how insecure the system potentially is.

If it was hacked for Trump to win, it sure didn’t do that here.

Here, while vote in person is predominant, the allowance for “vouching” that a person is a resident by a local party representative.

Last time I voted they said they needed to prove residence. I pulled out my drivers license and they said “you can’t do that!!”

What they wanted was for me to say my address verbally.

They admitted it was dumb, but that’s the rules our democrat Secretary of State sent out.

For the scenario in the OP to work, they had only to target strategically, not broad scale.

My county uses voting machines to print your choices on a plain language paper ballot to review and submit.

AI Overview
Sources confirm that Pro V&V, a federally accredited testing lab, approved updates to ES&S voting machines in the months leading up to the 2024 US election. These updates were classified by the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) as "de minimis," meaning they were considered too minor to require public testing or further certification.

However, some watchdog groups, like SMART Elections, have raised concerns about the updates, arguing they weren't insignificant and should have undergone greater scrutiny.

Details of the updates:
The updates approved by Pro V&V included: replacing older printers, modifying ballot boxes and bins, moving file storage locations, adding mounting brackets to hardware, firmware upgrades, and a new Electionware reporting system.

According to Jack Cobb, the director of Pro V&V, the changes were routine and not "of any significance," adding that all relevant details were posted on the EAC's website.

Contesting claims and ongoing discussions:

Watchdog groups have challenged the "de minimis" classification, stating the changes affected key components like ballot scanners and audit files, and may have bypassed necessary testing and oversight.

A lawsuit filed by SMART Legislation in Rockland County, New York, is seeking further investigation into potential voting discrepancies related to the machines and their updates. A judge ruled in May 2025 that the allegations warrant discovery and set a hearing for September 2025.

The EAC's Testing and Certification Program exists to test and certify voting machine hardware and software, ensuring they meet federal standards, according to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (.gov). While state participation in the program is voluntary, most states do utilize it.

In conclusion, Pro V&V did approve updates to ES&S voting machines before the 2024 election. The significance and transparency of these updates, particularly their classification as "de minimis," remain points of contention and are the subject of ongoing legal scrutiny.

Here's one of the articles I saw and partially read previously. But I didn't post a link to it or mention it because the source was unfamiliar to me and I figured that if true, it would hit MSM soon.
