'She Won: Florida Used a Fake County Vote Bank in the 2024 Election'

Last edited Tue Mar 17, 2026, 06:40 PM - Edit history (1)

My words: We all knew something like this is likely what happened because she drew hundreds of thousands of people and he drew hundreds, if that. Well, we weren't alone.

Added Note: About "This Will Hold". They are legit, however, they do keep their identities anonymous.

'Receipts attached. The question now is what legislators and the media will do about it.'

'Watching Kamala Harris’s vote totals decline by millions across swing states on election night sent our team down a year-long rabbit hole to understand why reported totals were moving backward. That is, until we uncovered the five fake “ghost” counties containing millions of votes—and realized we were onto something.

And we weren’t alone in noticing irregularities. In Pennsylvania, state Rep. Frank Burns (D) watched his own totals move backward as well. He ultimately won, but began asking questions—and so did we.

After more than a year of pressing for legislative and criminal investigations, we knew we had to find irrefutable evidence....'

Trump and Musk’s hints and innuendo about stealing the election didn’t prompt scrutiny or action, and neither did statistically anomalous swing-state data. More than 200 Russian bomb threats, widespread election equipment malfunctions, and documented breaks in ballot chain-of-custody procedures didn’t either.

Then, while digging into numbers that made no statistical sense and blatant post-election record changes, we found the math: a simple A + B = C equation—one that doesn’t require analysts or statisticians to understand but should never appear in an election.

This is how we caught them.'

9 million fewer voters showed up in 2024 than did in 2020.

That’s how Trump won and Harris lost.

There is as much evidence for 2024 election denialism as there is for 2020 election denialism:

Zero

Election denialism is a faulty coping mechanism to avoid the emotional pain of grieving a loss at the polls, and does not help us prepare for the challenges that lie ahead in the midterms.

Just like Rudi, they have “theories, but no evidence”.

If they had “receipts”, as in factual, verifiable evidence, they would have no trouble finding a lawyer to take the case to court and put their law license on the line to introduce the evidence in front of a judge.

But no lawyer wants to lose their means for earning a living, as Rudy, Sidney and several other lawyers did after the 2020 election.

Their lie: https://thiswillhold.substack.com/p/how-did-43598-of-voters-cast-ballots

Why should I or anyone else believe them when they continue to lie? They also don't link back to the original source of their claim so you can't verify it.

And how do these claims not require that Democratic election officials not either be stupid, corrupt, or cowardly? If there was cheating they either didn't see it, didn't care, or were afraid to call it out. Is there another option I'm missing?

Elon uploaded vote tabulator codes of battleground states a month BEFORE vote tabulations on election day, then downloaded changed codes to those tabulators ahead of time so that the R win counts were by a slim 1%. Yep, he bragged about it.

Just because FactCheck says "Experts said voting machines are not connected to the internet during tabulation" only means that those "experts" overlooked that the tabulating codes could easily have been changed before tabulation day. And that's what Elon's Starlink did. And Elon allows Russia to have access to Starlink.

And when the media consortium hand recounted the votes from Florida in 2000, they proved that Gore won.

Premiered Dec 30, 2025
Last week I posted a video with the title “Yes, There’s New Evidence that the 2024 Election Was Hacked” which showed five different fake counties in swing states with a total of almost 20 million votes which I suggested could be smoking gun evidence of an election hack in progress. Today I’m going to tell you why that theory was wrong –that the fake counties were definitely simply glitches displayed by Decision Desk HQ interface, how those glitches happened, and how I came to believe that they were something that they weren’t.

There’s an old saying on the Internet that if you want to get the right answer about something that you just need to post the wrong one and someone, somewhere in the comments will correct you. And correct me they did. In fact, the evidence is so compelling that it’s basically irrefutable.

More important: this is also a story about my interactions with a group called The Common Coalition, which also goes by This Will Hold on substack, which I now believe is intentionally distorting election evidence and undermining any attempt for an honest assessment of the 2024 election.

Indeed, considering my interactions with them over the last six months, I believe that it is entirely possible that they are more than a group of earnest citizens overtaken by confirmation bias, but are, in fact, backed by a foreign intelligence service.

https://sgcarney.substack.com/p/was-i-duped-by-russian-spies?r=4ueio&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true

...........................................................................
However, we all know that Russians have been heavily involved in election interference since at least 2016. The FBI is still looking for several Russian military intelligence agents who have tried to hack election systems, and, more importantly, used social media to sow discord and distrust in the American election process. Investigative journalist Benn Jordan put out a report earlier this year indicating that the system is so pervasive and sophisticated that as many as one in three interactions on social media are actually with bot accounts.

The goal of military disinformation campaigns isn’t to directly sway an elections’ results, but rather make it impossible to trust anything at all that you read online and to make you feel helpless and apathetic to reality. I believe that This Will Hold and the Common Coalition fit the profile of an intelligence operation precisely because they have zero accountability. They promote knowingly fake election theories into the public sphere in order to sow confusion among people who have more reliable information.

This does not mean that everyone in the Common Coalition is a Russian asset, only but that the top of the coalition would be exactly that. At the very least they would be what the FSB calls a “useful idiot.”

At this point, their conspiracy theories are so popular that they drown out more nuanced analysis by Smart Elections and the Election Truth Alliance–both of which are groups that have transparent founders that you can vet directly.

To answer this issue, a user on bluesky named MarketMaker2757 showed multiple clips from the same 5 hour livestream that I was referring to where the glitches appear. In these clips it’s obvious that the vote tallies for incomplete statewide results.

You can see here with Allen County North Carolina, the screen actually flips between a statewide screen and the transposed Allen county screen with the vote totals remaining the same in both cases. The same is true for Michigan’s Oklahoma County, Georgia’s Hamilton County and, of course, Burke County Florida.

I find this evidence pretty much irrefutable. The “fake counties” were simply glitches caused by transpositional errors during an exceedingly long livestream rather than evidence that fake counties were used as a bank of phantom votes that would later be covertly distributed to flip the election. To be clear, I’m not weighing in on whether the election was hacked or not, so much as stating that this particular evidence just does not add up.

There are rational, intelligent people researching this with the knowledge that it will not reverse the election. Their purpose is not to reverse it, but to prevent it from happening again if it was stolen. Facts are facts and if the facts are being lied about the truth will be revealed.

This isn't anything like 2020 where all attempts to overturn the election, dozens, were defeated in court. There was an army of kooks and liars, I mean lawyers working on behalf of a nutjob that knew it was a lie. He admitted as much. For him, it was life and death, he had to win. And lo and behold, in spite of so many Republicans, many from his Administration, coming out and speaking the truth against him he "won" all of the swing states. He did so well the first time, people couldn't wait for him to be back in office?

I've accepted that he is the President for no other reason than, there is nothing to be done about it now. But just because he's made election denial a farcical sport doesn't mean it couldn't be true for Nov. 2024. The same people act as though they are the watchdogs of truth and continue to try to convince others not to doubt the election, don't look for facts to disprove what they believe to be true because it's not possible, it didn't happen.
If they're that convinced then why worry about what other people are researching. If it bothers you personally, then don't read it. Frankly, it makes me suspicious of their intent, their motivation. Any intelligent rational person IMHO would ignore it and move on. I would just chock it up to kooks and liars and not waste my time. Instead, the same players are trying to convince people not to look, not to listen. Almost as though they work for opposition or have an unhealthy need to be contrary.

This is not meant to be a personal attack against healthy dialog, only a defense in favor of open dialog of different opinions and debate of facts research and analysis.

Fact: the Felon is the President.
Fact: the elections were certified.
Fact: there were and are unexplained anomalies that occurred.

We absolutely have oversight of elections. You want something that can't meaningfully be done. There is no universe in which it's feasible to to think every single ballot for every single election in the country is going to be shown hand counted in front of you. That would take months given every ballot has a bunch of races and ballot measures on them so each ballot would either be counted 5+ times or take 5 minutes each. We absolutely know hand counting is less accurate and we have election monitors present during the process. There are audits in the system to ensure the voting is correctly counted. While they clearly don't satisfy you, I suspect you don't actually need to see validation of everything.

Do you need to personally be flown to the moon to prove we can fly to the moon? Or is the word of scientists enough? To watch the gas delivery guy pour the correct fuel into the correct tank at the gas station, that your paycheck will be deposited and your bank will say yep, those electrons are equivalent to x amount of money. That other drivers will stop at a red light. We all do that in spite of the small but very real chance that it happens and immediately kills us and people die every day in car crashes. At what point do the experts and the experience that while we lose some elections we win a lot of them as well not disprove that there's a secret button that can be pushed to change votes? If you don't want to take their word, or the election results you like as evidence, if Trump had a magic cheat button, why is he trying so hard to make voting harder, to gerrymander Republican states? It doesn't make sense that he would waste the time instead of telling us how great he is or throwing a temper tantrum because other countries won't help his stupid Iran war.

And your position inherently relies on the stupidity, corruption, or cowardice of Democrats in every state, so maybe just maybe you should reconsider which of us is being insulting and dismissive towards Democrats. I can point to data to back up my position. Every time one of these posts goes up, someone provides evidence from real sites with source links to disprove the claim. Why is that not evidence of the people making the claims aren't trustworthy considering the substack or the Election Truth Alliance never actually link directly to their source?

For their math on how unlikely it was that 88 counties changed from blue to red and none switched from red to blue, they literally tell you that their math isn't accurate, but then proceed to use it without acknowledging that virtually the entire country shifted red and yet still claimed it was at worst a 50/50 chance a county would change.

I agree that the sources for "voting conspiracy" are squidgy. But so are the sources for "no conspiracy."

We keep being presented with ratcheting horrifying acts that no one previously believed possible. And yet there are still those here that think their skepticism about things that were previously thought impossible makes them intellectually superior. But, for example, many here were disgusted with those of us who said Epstein didn't kill himself. Now it turns out that there are a series of mysterious payments going to at least one of the guards, and there was a video angle that was not released.

They're going to try to steal this next election. We need to defend against that.

Tue Mar 17, 2026, 07:08 PM

I don't think This Will Hold is the best source of the evidence of massive election fraud in 2024 (changing of vote counts after the election via the vote-counting computers). We need some specific audits comparing paper ballots with recorded county results. ElectionTruthAlliance.org.is suing a few counties to perform these audits.

Computers are not adding machines. Computers count our votes in secret in whatever way they are programed to count. Computers are always hackable. People in charge of voting machines say they are not connected to the Internet. However, precinct counts are usually transmitted to the county via cellular modems. Ding, ding, ding. We have a winning situation for the precinct vote counts being changed before they are recorded by the county.

This is why mail-in voting is hated by Republicans. The mail-in votes go directly to the county. No chance for Internet access to change the vote counts.

And the political cluelessness even sometimes affects those on our side. For example, Alicia Silverstone supported Bernie. In this past election, she supported RFK Jr. with much gushing! I wonder how she feels now that he is one of Trump’s cabinet’s worst? Too bad because I’ve always liked her. Anyway despite the tons of ignorance, I have always had the feeling that Kamala really won.

54. Thiis will Hold is almost certainly a Russian State Sponsored disinformation
Tue Mar 17, 2026, 08:59 PM
Tuesday

From the video I poosted a link to:

They portrayed someone claiming to be variously a NSA and CIA spy who said he was part of an election hacking conspiracy, but was later revealed to be a loan officer at Fidelity bank. When I showed them the obvious evidence that their source was a fraud and asked them to retract their story,they claimed they “fully vetted” him, but failed to provide any indication what that vetting was.

My main objection to the common coalition is simple: they are a completely anonymous organization. While This Will Hold claims to represent “62 independent researchers” all of those mysterious individuals categorically refuse to identify themselves. Transparency and accountability are the very foundation of credible investigative journalism. This will Hold says they represented a “team” but there is no way to identify the credentials or background of anyone who they work with, writing:

“for safety and legal reasons, members of our team don’t go on the record publicly. That doesn’t change authorship of the work or ownership of the analysis, and it doesn’t undermine the reporting itself.”

That’s an interesting take, because as you can see from this channel, a real investigative journalist understands that they can’t be anonymous and credible at the same time. If there is personal danger, you have to be willing to take that risk. The legal worries they have seem to be they don’t want to be held accountable for libel.

I offered This Will Hold an opportunity to come on this channel to explain how they came up with their results several times. Their initial response was “I have no interest in being on your channel” two minutes after I asked, and then the next day they wrote

“I’m not declining to appear on the show lightly. I’m currently battling stage 3 cancer, in the middle of an aggressive round of chemotherapy, have three more surgeries, and frankly it’s miserable. Going on-air just isn’t feasible right now. The goal here is coordination, accuracy, and forward momentum. Hope that helps clear things up.”

This does not ring credible to me. While I have no idea about the health history of This Will Hold, it feels manipulative to throw cancer into the mix to get out of an interview. Indeed, if there are 62 people in the organization, why wouldn’t someone else be able to fill that role?

These are not the actions of a legitimate organization.

From Scott Carney:

The goal of military disinformation campaigns isn’t to directly sway an elections’ results, but rather make it impossible to trust anything at all that you read online and to make you feel helpless and apathetic to reality. I believe that This Will Hold and the Common Coalition fit the profile of an intelligence operation precisely because they have zero accountability. They promote knowingly fake election theories into the public sphere in order to sow confusion among people who have more reliable information.

Tue Mar 17, 2026, 10:24 PM

https://www.gmfus.org/news/fact-sheet-what-we-know-about-russias-interference-operations
Russian disinformation operations in 2016 targeted the political right and left, including Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, Black Lives Matters activists, and secessionist movements in Texas and California. Bottom line: Russia’s goal was to exacerbate the divisions that already exist in the country to destabilize its democracy.


https://misinforeview.hks.harvard.edu/article/russian-disinformation-campaigns-on-twitter/#:~:text=Share%20Via%20Email-,Russian%20Twitter%20disinformation%20campaigns%20reach%20across%20the%20American%20political%20spectrum,from%20diverse%20coalitions%20of%20users.
Russian Twitter disinformation campaigns reach across the American political spectrum
1) Politically active communities present substantial vulnerabilities that disinformation agents can exploit. By far, the IRA accounts and content that attracted the most attention were explicitly political in nature. In contrast, the organization was less successful in engaging users with its hashtag games, health appeals, and general-interest news headlines. This indicates that politically engaged users should be especially mindful of attempts by foreign governments and others to co-opt their social media activities for surreptitious disinformation purposes.

2) Our results make it clear that group identities are at the core of the IRA’s attack strategy. Political audiences were addressed as liberals, conservatives, and Black people to provoke anger against oppositional outgroups. Each group was paired with a specific set of opponents: the IRA presented conservatives with outrages committed by liberals, immigrants, CNN, George Soros, and others; liberals witnessed the travesties of the Trump administration, Republicans in general, and evangelical Christians; and Black users were confronted with an endless cavalcade of racism, often perpetrated by white police officers.There was very little policy-related or even horse-race campaign content to be found—most tweets were devoted to vilifying political and social adversaries. Other tweets supported the core group identity in affirmative ways, such as conservative tweets celebrating law enforcement and the military and Black posts spotlighting Black history and achievements. Individuals who identify as members of targeted groups ran a disproportionate risk of exposure to IRA disinformation over the study time period. The 2020 election may put them in a similar position (Linvill & Warren, 2019).

Tue Mar 17, 2026, 09:38 PM
Tuesday

Or that polling places were reduced in majority minority precincts to increase wait times at those polling places while simultaneously increasing the locations for white or Republican precincts to shorten the wait times to vote.
Laws were passed to keep citizens from passing out water bottles to voters. There are other numerous obvious policies and laws that have been implemented to reduce the amount of voters.

The Supreme Court Justice, Robert's removed protections from minorities right to vote stating that voting is not a right and minorities no longer need protections because there is no more discrimination.
Are these not all actions to impact election integrity?
If they're willing to do and say these things in public, why is it so impossible to believe the 2024 election may have been tampered with.
As for the receipts and why hasn't a lawyer taken them and sued in court.
1. To what end. It won't overturn the election.
2. Why would anybody wear a bullseye when this Administration with the full backing of the U.S. Gov't has proven itself to be vindictive in spite of violating the Constitution.
3. The best strategy in my opinion is to gather the "receipts" and present them to the proper authorities when the Felon can't do anything about it.
If election tampering can be proven it would involve a conspiracy involving many powerful people.

Scott Carney is an investigative reporter and award winning author who has made it clear he is on the side of the people who question the results of the election. But when he calls out a fraudulent organization like "This will hold" because they are very clearly frauds and hurt the case of those crying "election interference", then we continue to see loads of people who "feel it in their bones" that the 2024 election was stolen refuse to accept the reality that the claims of "this will hold" are 100% bullshit.

Scott Carney continues to suppor the "Election Truth Alliance" which I believ is simply another grifting election denialist organization, but at least they are willing to go on record with their real identities and stand behind their claims.

https://sgcarney.substack.com/p/was-i-duped-by-russian-spies?r=4ueio&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true

Now some of my viewers will not want to hear what I’m reporting to day, but before you change the channel, I want to be extremely clear with where I stand on the possibility that someone did interfere with the 2024 election. I still think that it is absolutely possible. Trump and Elon Musk have both made multiple statements that they meddled in the election software. They’ve been telegraphing their disdain for honest elections for a decade. There are also statistical anomalies outlined by both SMART Elections and Election Truth Alliance (who have both appeared on this channel) that I still find convincing. But getting the facts right is important. This is a topic that is so centrally to the future of the country and the world that we have no other choice.

At this point, their conspiracy theories are so popular that they drown out more nuanced analysis by Smart Elections and the Election Truth Alliance–both of which are groups that have transparent founders that you can vet directly.

They’re successful because what they have to say is more extreme than everyone else. It’s a story as old as social media and algorithmic recommendations.

The last thing that I want to say before I go is that it’s sort of embarrassing to admit that I made a mistake in such a public format. I want to get things right the first time and every time before I put out a report. But unfortunately the reality is that EVERYONE makes errors from time to time. It’s an unavoidable part of the job.

If only the people here were as honest with themselves as Scott Carney....

Many DU'er's including me first found this forum after the 2004 Bush-Kerry election.

Prior to that election, we'd had the Bush-Gore debacle in 2000, in which exit polling had shown Gore significantly ahead, but the vote count became a near-tie (decided in Bush's favor by the S. Ct.).

That experience had prompted a couple of important changes: (1) a federal law was passed that encouraged precincts across the country to adopt electronic voting, and (2) the VNS Exit Poll System, relied on by major media networks to tabulate exit polling and project election results, underwent an extensive overhaul designed to make projected results more accurate.

These innovations were put into play in the Bush-Kerry election. That night, I stayed up 'til about 1am watching the results come in. When I went to bed, Kerry was 3 points ahead. When I got up, the news was that Bush had won by 3 points in a 6-point swing that took nearly everyone by surprise.

I checked the MSM for some explanation. None explained the swing, other than speculating that perhaps polled voters had suddenly started lying about how they'd voted.

"Adding to the chaos, one network news reporter has received a tip that mercenary hackers were hired to alter the code of a particular brand of machine so that every 10th vote for Candidate A was recorded as a vote for Candidate B. ..." (http://www.popsci.com/popsci/generaltech/article/0,20967,714491,00.html )

Ever since we went electronic, exit polling has proved so unreliable that, last I knew, the media no longer bother with it. Until 2000, exit polls had always been remarkably accurate.

Whatever you think happened in whichever election, the facts are that (1) in every actual test that I'm aware of pitting such electronic voting or tabulation systems against skilled hackers, the hackers won, and computer experts without a profit motive or other interest in promoting electronic voting or tabulation almost uniformly agree it's impossible to fully secure electronic systems; (2) although fraud in elections using paper ballots is certainly possible, it's a lot easier for a single hacker to discreetly tamper with a electronic system with widespread results than it is for an army of helpers to stuff large numbers of paper ballot boxes across the country.

Since the discrepancies between exit polls and election results generally seemed to favor Republicans, the failure of Dem politicans to try to do something about this hazard made me start to lose confidence in the party.

Fwiw, I favor paper ballots and human tabulation. I know that most electronic voting systems now produce a paper print-out of your vote; but have you ever tried to proof one of those things, when the ballot included more than just a handful of candidates? I voted in our primary recently; there were dozens of offices in play and over a dozen propositions, and the print-out was several long pages of very fine print – there was no way I'd be able to read it without a magnifying glass – but proofing it would be the only way to be certain that the machine did not flip any of my votes. If I were just punching physical hole or blacking in check boxes, proofing would be either unnecessary or at least easier.
