this has gotten me so many times online its not even funny

[clockworkdimensions]

I haven’t really seen any of the more recent U.S. election news hitting tumblr yet so here’s some updates (now edited with sources added):

There’s evidence of Trump cheating and interfering with the election.

Possible Russian interference.

Mail-in ballots are not being counted or “recognized” in multiple (notably swing) states.

30+ bomb threats were called in and shut down polling stations on Election Day.

20+ million votes are still unaccounted for, and that’s just to have the same voter turnout as 2020.

There was record voter turnout and new/first-time voter registration this year. We definitely should be well over the turnout in 2020.

U.S. citizens are using this site to demand, not only a recount, but a complete investigation into election fraud and interference for the reasons stated above:

Here is what I submitted as an example:

An investigation for election interference and fraud is required. We desperately need a recount or even a revote. The American people deserve the right to a free and fair election. There has been evidence unveiled of Trump cheating and committing election fraud which is illegal. There is some evidence of possible Russian interference. At least 30+ bomb threats were called in to polling places. Multiple, notably swing states, have ballots unaccounted for and voting machines not registering votes. Ballots and ballot boxes were tampered with and burned. Over 20 million votes that we know of are unaccounted for. With record turnout and new voter registration this year, there should be no possibility that there are less votes than even in the 2020 election.

Sources (working on finding more links but if anyone wants to add info, it’s appreciated):

FBI addressing Russian interference and bomb threats:

Emails released by Rachael Bellis (private account, can’t share original tweet) confirming Trump committing election fraud:

Pennsylvania's Centre County officials say they are working with their ballot scanner vendor to figure out why the county's mail-in ballot data is "not being recognized when uploaded to the elections software:”

Wisconsin recount:

Multiple screenshots and images.

The first is a screenshot with a link and information for contacting the White House directly regarding election fraud. The instructions include choosing to leave a comment to President Joe Biden directly and to select election security as the reason.

The screenshot then instructs people to include any or all of the following information in a paragraph as a comment to the president:

32 fake bomb threats were called into Democratic leaning poll places, rendering polling places closed for at least an hour.

A lot of people reporting their ballots were not counted for various reasons.

This all occurred in swing states.

This is too coincidental that these things happen and swing in his favor after months of hinting at foul play.

Directly state that an investigation for tampering, interference, fraud is required, not just a recount.

The second image is from the FBI Twitter account that reads:

The FBI is aware of bomb threats to polling locations in several states, many of which appear to originate from Russian email domains. None of the threats have been determined to be credible thus far. https://t.co/j3YfajVK1m — FBI (@FBI) November 5, 2024

The next four Gmail screenshots of an email sent to Rachael Bellis from Chris T. Spackman that read together as follows:

Dear BELLIS, RACHAEL E., The Dauphin County Board of Elections received a challenge to your absentee ballot you applied for in the November 5, 2024 General Election. The challenge argues that a provision of the Pennsylvania Election Code takes precedence over the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), which requires states and counties to permit U.S. citizens who move overseas to vote by absentee ballot for federal offices based on their last U.S. residential address.

The full text of the challenge that was filed appears below this email.

You may respond to the challenge in any of the following ways:

1. Call the Bureau of Registration and Election at (717) 780-6360;

2. Email a statement to the Bureau at Election election@dauphincounty.gov. Any statement you submit regarding the period during which you lived in Dauphin County, any family or connections that you still have here, and why you are now residing abroad would be read into the record.

3. Appear in person at a Board of Elections hearing scheduled for Friday, November 8 at a time to be determined in the Commissioners Public Hearing Room, 4th floor of Dauphin County Administration Building, 2 S 20d St, Harrisburg, PA 17111. The meeting is also likely to be livestreamed on Facebook on the Dauphin County channel.

Sincerely,

Christopher T Spackman

TEXT OF CHALLENGE BEGINS

Dear Dauphin County Board of Elections,

I am submitting this challenge to an absentee ballot application pursuant to 25 Pa. Stat.

3146.8(f).

25 Pa. Stat. 3146.8(f) Any person challenging an application for an absentee ballot, an absentee ballot, an application for a mail-in ballot or a mail-in ballot for any of the reasons provided in this act shall deposit the sum of ten dollars ($10.00) in cash with the county board, which sum shall only be refunded if the challenge is sustained or if the challenge is withdrawn within five (5) days after the primary or election. If the challenge is dismissed by any lawful order then the deposit shall be forfeited. The county board shall deposit all deposit money in the general fund of the…

The rest of the forwarded email is cut off.

The last image is a screenshot of the official statement from the Centre County, Pennsylvania Board of Commissioners released on November 6, 2024 that states:

Centre County Working with Ballot Scanner Vendor to Export Election Results.

(Bellefonte, PA) -Centre County Elections Office is working continuously to provide mail-in ballot data in order to post unofficial results.

To this point, all ballots have been scanned, including all mail-in ballots.

Centre County's Election team and IT team have identified that the data are successfully being exported from the mail-in ballot scanners, but that the data is not being recognized when uploaded to the elections software.

Centre County's Administrator, John Franek, Jr. stated, "We have not stopped working, and we will continue to work until unofficial results are posted and reported to the Pennsylvania Department of State."

As a next step, Centre County has begun working with the equipment vendor to adjust configurations to make the two systems-the mail-in ballot scanner and the elections software where data are uploaded -compatible with one another.

We will provide updates as we make progress.

(copied from @dxckiii on Twitter) this could literally change everything.

They have begun a recount process. WAKE UP YOUR NEVADA FRIENDS AND MAKE SURE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM CHECK iwillvote.com to make sure their ballot was counted. if it says it was denied, they need to call immediately.

Don't scroll past this. If there's any chance someone from Nevada is following you, they need to see it. Get this as far as possible. Be loud. I know it's easy to feel hopeless right now; god knows I was crying my eyes out for a good chunk of last night, but if there's even a shred of action we can take, we can't let it slip by.

If you know anyone in Nevada, please share this with them. Reblog it. Spread it far and wide, ASAP.

I hope it's okay to hijack this post, OP! While this is is partially true, there's more to the Pesto lore that I would love to share with any and all appreciators/admirers!

My beloved @mashedpotatodragon and I got to see dear Pesto today for the first time and was able to ask some questions on his backstory since info is a little unclear on official sites!

Both Pesto's biological parents are alive and well! His biological father, Blake, is their oldest penguin in the aquarium at 22 years old (and older for most penguin expentancy!), while his biological mother and Blake's life partner, Matilda, is 15! Due to their age, however, chick rearing would have been particularly difficult and a strain to their health, so when Pesto was born, the keepers made the decision to pass him to a younger couple to adopt, Hudson (15) and Tango (5), to adopt as they have had trouble conceiving hatchings of their own!

(^ I couldn't find Matilda to snap a photo of, but this is a sleepy, crusty-eyed Blake standing proud with his superstar son in the background!)

(^ As a lovely coincidence, Blake waddled and stayed close to a molting, but chilling Hudson - both are quite handsome silver foxes penguins, if you ask me!)

(^ And as a most pleasant surprise, Tango was close by, too! A first-time mom doing her best, I'm sure she's VERY proud of her chonky, darling son in the background!)

(^ Finally...The man, the myth, the legend! His molting is truly in full swing now - some may say he's in his awkward teen stage, but since his rise to stardom it really looks like he is wearing a fancy, fluffy coat with a feather boa amongst this tuxedo party!)

So...yeah! Pesto pretty much having four polyamorus coparents was certainly not what I expected on my bingo card today, but I am overjoyed nonetheless. I hope this was a lovely discovery as it was for me!

Reminder that pesto the penguin is being raised by two gay penguins because his mom died and his dad's are the ones you see him following around all the time

i promised a FE3H self insert so here we are!!

Ciel Leumund (they/them) is a commoner from the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus. Their family has roots in the Alliance and migrated up Faerghus’ east coast until permanently offering their services as shipbuilders to house Fraldarius. For manifesting a minor crest of Chevalier, Ciel was enrolled at the Officers Academy as part of the Ashen Wolves. If left unrecruited by the beginning of the war, they fight along the troops of House Fraldarius (and in Azure Moon, are added to the roster as the Kingdom army receives reinforcements from Rodrigue).

please remember that likes do absolutely nothing to actually support me, but reblogs help. thank you!

I deleted this last night but I'll repost this again: I'm kinda annoyed how people view certain body types as inherently sexual and should be censored, specifically fat and transgender bodies. I hate this puritanical community label bullshit.
