You’ve observed central count?

You’ve attended the canvassing board meetings?

You’ve audited an election?

You vetted the certification of the hardware, software, rules, procedures used by your jurisdiction?

You’ve collaborated with the nationwide network of admins, vendors, academics, and activists on these issues?

Can you refute anything I’ve stated?

Do you even know how your ballot is processed?

Did I say anything about fraud?

FUD indeed.

FWIW, you perfectly illustrate the challenges whistleblowers endure, so thanks for that.

This is such a ridiculous reply. "You've audited an election?"

It's on par with "you've inspected the rain clouds, you've watched the rain fall into the Bull run watershed, you've inspected the reservoirs, the pipes, done salinity and chlorination tests on your tap water?"

Voter fraud in Oregon is virtually non-existent, and all you can do is raise the spectre of I don't even know what. It'd be silly if it weren't so insulting, what you're suggesting.

I'm sorry you're offended by things I didn't say. I now feel silly and ridiculous. Thank you for setting me straight.

You're welcome.

have you ever audited an election... rolling eyes

Yes, I have.

Oh. You weren't asking.

You're mocking the notion that such a thing is knowable, that there's an objective reality.

I know. Facts, data, experience, critical analysis are all so unkewl. My bad.

You've been breaking the site guidelines a lot lately and getting into political flamewars. We ban accounts that do that, and have asked you more than once before to stop.

Would you please (re-)read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and post civilly and substantively, or not at all?
