I toured the original Air Force One yesterday, and it's kinda awe-inspiring to think "Wow, LBJ took a crap here".

Mebane deserves no softening. His opaque methodology is combined with tortured vocabulary. The use of "frauds" when he means "anomalies" is maddening. That part of the interview had me screaming. He is asking people to misuse his work.

Then you should remember the difference between independent events and dependent events. Election results across multiple counties are not independent events. They are correlated.

Holy Hell. The VSTLs review the source code. How did this "timebox" go unnoticed. And this would be easily tripped up during either the RLA or in the event of a triggered recount. I know maintaining the grift is too important, so this is for anyone else who wanders by this nonsense.

DB Main @dbmain.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
I will talk to you. You typed the words that "RLA's [SIC] only work when electronic equipment is accurate". That's hilariously wrong and indicates you don't have a clue what RLAs are. You are free to explain yourself.

This is inaccurate. That's putting it lightly. To be more precise, it's fucking wrong.

Earlier: "They refuse to disclose it" Now: "Sure, they disclosed it, but don't you find it suspicious that an investment firm invests in companies" You're a fucking treasure.

Holy Hell. 3 minutes. Three. That's how long it took me to answer your question. They "refuse to disclose it" by putting it on their fucking website.

Yes. You're choosing to be ignorant. RLAs are a manual recount of a sample of machine tallied ballots. It has absolutely no reliance on the machines. Because of your deliberately limited knowledge of the process, you're misinterpreting what Stark said.

DB Main @dbmain.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Got it. You don't have any evidence of election fraud. You have some feelings.

DB Main @dbmain.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Why don't you just clarify what you meant? The RLA CAN'T be held before the election, and Trusted Build Verification is executed every time the machine is booted. Is there a reason why you just won't answer the question?
020
DB Main @dbmain.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
I don't think you even know what an RLA IS. RLAs are a MANUAL recount of a sample of ballots.
220
DB Main @dbmain.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
I asked what you meant. What audit are you describing? The RLA is conducted BEFORE the election?
220
DB Main @dbmain.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
And save the arrogance accusations. YOU ARE THE ONE who is making claims that don't make sense, and then take offense when someone has the audacity to ask you to clarify yourself. "How dare you question my half-baked claims!!!1!!!"
120
DB Main @dbmain.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Oh dear. You didn't answer the question. What audit was conducted "months before" the election? The L&A? The RLA? If so, how can an audit that manually counts election ballots be held BEFORE the election? bsky.app/profile/dbma...

DB Main @dbmain.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Hi!! It's unclear what you're talking about. Each tabulator conducts a Trusted Build Verification upon boot, and RLAs are post-election audits. Are you confusing RLAs with Logic & Accuracy Audits? Even those are conducted just a week before. Thanks in advance for clearing this up!!
120
DB Main @dbmain.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Hi! Can you explain - in your own words - where the execution of the RLAs are falling short? You certainly can summarize his arguments if you find them so compelling, right? Thanks in advance!!
110
DB Main @dbmain.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Hi!! It's not impossible! That's why there are layers of legislatively mandated audits and EAC-required technological safeguards to detect it when it happens!! Given your "election expertise" I am surprised you didn't know this.
130
DB Main @dbmain.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Hi!! Let's say they weren't actually air-gapped. If the vote totals were changed, why wasn't that detected by the RLAs executed in every county in every swing state? If the code was changed, why wasn't that detected by the EAC-required Trusted Build Cryptographic check done at boot?

"They were fired because they didn't find proof of election fraud is proof of election fraud!!!" I cannot imagine going through life like this.

"The election was hacked and the proof is that there are vulnerabilities!!!1!! You're delusional!!!11!!" You couldn't coherently articulate a theory of how Kamala was cheated if your family's life depended on it.

Their contract was complete when they issued their report. This was explained in the thread you're reposting. You do know that contractors aren't the ones to determine if a contract should be adapted and expanded, right? bsky.app/profile/matt...

"blocked from completing their work" This habit of hyperbolically mistating what actually happened? Where's the downside, I suppose? It just confirms to those that are already onto you who you are, but still might juice a few contributions.

And no perpetrator would risk detection and prosecution just hoping that one of the compromised machines isn't randomly selected by the RLA in one of the several dozen swing counties, or that a full recount isn't triggered in one of the swing states.

You're confusing precise wording and claims with "picking and choosing a narrative". Your phone has vulnerabilities. Is that proof your bank account has been hacked? Each tabulator *is* checked by EAC-Required technological safeguards.

And at the start I said *IF* they were able to clone the RAID Array. This was beyond the expertise of the Cyber Ninjas, the clowns hired by Republicans to prove fraud in Maricopa in 2020. You think Tina Peters runs with a smarter group than that?

It gets you to Machine Language. No variable names. No subroutine names. Addresses are hardcoded Hex. It's still miles away from readable Source Code.

DB Main @dbmain.bsky.social · 16/08/2026
Look: You may not have subject expertise, but I do. IF they were able to clone the RAID array correctly, the code that's on them is binary executable. Ones and zeros. It's unreadable. There are tools to "decompile" executable but that still doesn't get you to source code.
