Thank you for posting this.

I will call tomorrow morning.

make it so

I will keep trying.

I got thru and left a message.

I got through, ncgrits.

If it doesn't change the outcome of this election, then we will be better prepared for midterm elections.

would rather have a smooth transfer of power, than potential justice done. Not to mention saving the country and world from a trump presidency. What in the holy hell of fuck?

In the past two weeks we have seen the settlement of the trump u. case and now the "pay to play" at the t-rump foundation. Acts of white nationalism, bigotry toward minorities, and hate-vandalism have abounded. The press has been almost banished. There are protests in many cities and abroad. Would the WH really like to see another 4 years of so much unrest and assaults on our rights? What will this country look like by 2020? It is terrifying.

it's all just one big club. And we don't get to be members...

Obama wake the fuck up!

Will try late night. But I guess not being able to get through is a good sign.

Now out of service.

It's good enough in every state

Calling at 8:50 PM EST and it is busy, busy, busy....will be driving tomorrow for four hours can get it done then I guess! F the White House, I am sick about getting hacked!

800-2533931 number where one can leave a message. I did that.

Hell, even if there isn't anything at all.. CHALLENGE!!!

That jackass made VERY clear that he wasn't going to accept the election results unless he won.

I absolutely adore our first lady, but enough of this we go high shit.

I'll keep trying.

This cannot stand!

Washington Post reveals this whole call-DOJ-a-start-an-audit thing is a hoax.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2016/11/22/the-department-of-justice-is-not-going-to-conduct-a-vote-audit-based-on-your-phoned-in-outrage/?utm_term=.a701fd0dab8d

For supporters of Hillary Clinton, the post circulating on Facebook and Reddit offers hope. The Justice Department, it claims, is “tallying calls” from people who want an audit of the 2016 election. And given the small margins that Donald Trump won by in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, a shift of about 55,000 votes is all that would be needed to change the outcome.

The problem is, it’s bogus. The Justice Department doesn’t count up calls to determine whether it should launch an investigation. And they will not initiate a national audit — or force particular states to recount their results — based on the volume of outrage they receive from voters.

“The Justice Department does not tally the number of callers to determine whether federal action is warranted,” department spokesman David Jacobs said in a statement. “Investigatory decisions are based solely on the facts and evidence as they relate to the federal statutes the department enforces.”

But the computer scientists mentioned in my post are trying to get the JD to consider their evidence. How do you or the WA Post know that a strong enough public response wouldn't increase the likelihood of them meeting with the computer scientists?

Become a nuisance. Government is WE THE PEOPLE after all.

It is not true that the DOJ is "not accepting" calls. You can call and leave a message. I did.

The DOJ is not keeping a "tally" of the calls they get. But that really doesn't matter. They don't need a tally to know that the large volume of calls shows that the people are concerned about the integrity of the election process.

Will keep trying!

We need to know if our elections are being manipulated and stolen and who else is benefitting from it. The integrity of the vote is paramount.

For principle as much as outcome, and for the next election.

It's time to restore some faith in our electoral process. Right now, I have very little

Is it possible that he is in shock, as so many of us are, and he's not quite himself? Hello, my sweet president, DAPL and now this? I am worried about him. It ain't over til it's over.

The bottom line is that the first deadline for filing for an audit is Friday, and that computer scientists and lawyers are urging an audit. The WA Post says that the Justice Department bases its decisions on facts and evidence. Of course it does! But the group of computer scientists (second article in my post) are urging them to listen to them about the evidence that they have developed. How does the WA post know that public pressure wouldn't increase the chances that the JD would consider what the computer scientists have to say?

lol just sort of skimmed it because I saw Huma's sister's name and "squirrel"

how adamant certain low-post-count members are about not demanding an investigation of the election.

If there is nothing to it, how would it hurt to do a recount?

no harm in making our voices heard to see that happens.

Something is definitely wrong here. The polls don't match the vote, the exit polls don't corroborate the vote. There's a strong appearance of tampering going on. It needs to be investigated before this farce of an election is certified by the electoral college. Clinton needs to file these challenges. If there is any chance that a massive fraud is being perpetrated on the American people then we need to take the time to find out.

It's easy to ignore incoming messages and e-mails, or set up a script to send an automated response. A call, on the other hand, is less easy to ignore, and a huge nuisance when it's multiplied by thousands.

I just sent an email. What else can we do???

Lots of posts to call DOJ and representatives. I wasn't able to get thru to DOJ on number above. But this number works for leaving a message.

Department of Justice at (202) 514-2000 ×4

I voted for Obama, I worked for Obama, and I contributed to Obama. I will always cherish the moment I actually got to shake his hand and speak to him and Michelle and their two (then) little girls. But this time, he is wrong.

why he's more focused on ensuring a "smooth transition" than on ensuring that all the votes have been counted and no hacking has taken place.

It is the job of the Justice Department to enforce laws. Phoning in a concern about statistical anomalies in data does not rise to the level of evidence of criminal activity. The ONLY person who can call for a vote review is Hillary Clinton.

"Hoax" or not, I damn well want to be heard! Also left messages with senators and congressman.

no charge for hanging on! Got the number, and am on "hold" but heck, it doesn't cost a thing!

I WANT this to happen. A few hours on hold is worth it.

Oh, I forgot - I'm a deplorable..............

very short, and didn't say even 1/10000000000th of what i wanted to regarding republican morals and ethics.

The one thing you can rely on when it comes to Democrats is that they fold like cheap tents because of some hearts and rainbows desire to "unite." If the DOJ doesn't investigate it - and I doubt they will - this will be swept under the rug like the election tampering of 2000 and 2004.

Thanks.

And also used the web form another post-er provided in one of the sub-posts.

Thanks, pwnmom. Recced.

We must be heard and urge a recount.

I got right through and left a message about needing to do an election audit.

Is that advisor crazy? A smooth transition, vs. stopping Trump from wrecking the country? WTF!!!
Hillary won the election. Time, not for the sake of polite politics but the survival America to fight back.

I said that I am very concerned about the reports of irregularities in the numbers from WI, MI, and PA. I said this is a democracy, which means that people vote, and their votes are counted. The leaders are chosen by the people, not by someone who hacks into the system. I said that regardless of what the results are (i.e., whether there was fraud or whether things were done correctly), there should be an investigation to reassure the people that their votes were properly counted.

Please everyone, call. It just takes a couple of minutes. That's literally how long it took me.

Thanks!

...an analysis and adjustment of the *real* results should be accomplished anyway. If the numbers for Hillary improve once the "mistakes" are all teased out, then - even though Trump remains president - at least he becomes non-legitimate and is pretty much a lame duck for most of his presidency. He still may push his agenda hard and win most of it. But history will view this as an illegitimate presidency. His agenda will be easier to undo, and it would lead to election reform and would probably get Dems back in power the next go-around.

I say we press forward anyway, even if there's no realistic expectation that Hillary cold turn it around.

But Friday is PA's deadline for requesting an audit.

regardless.

But if final tallies don't agree, especially with "counted votes" greater than "counted ballots" then that precinct should be labeled immediately as "in audit" and the results should not be allowed to be counted until the full audit complete.

Electronic voting systems with no paper trail need to be done away with. Elections are too important to rely on black boxes. A system can be designed to make it easy for people to vote, and have the ability to be audited that are required.

But then again, such things interfere with systemic election fraud.

Note: When the DNC hacked news came out so did this-->Our U.S. Intelligence officials also told 25 states that "a Russian Company" was targetting 25 state and local elections systems. See here:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/10/07/russia-s-senior-most-officials-ordered-dnc-hack.html

“We also worked as quickly as possible to release as much information as possible in order to provide state and local officials sufficient time to fortify their infrastructure,” the official said. The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have put state elections officials on notice that hackers have been trying to access voter registration files and could cause havoc on Election Day. So far, 25 states have asked the department to help scan their computer networks for security weaknesses.

*fingers crossed*

But WTF Obama???

How can there be a smooth transfer of power to a proto-fascist and liar and ignoramus?

If we are to get this movement going, I suggest reminding everyone that Russia hacked the DNC and Russia may well have hacked the election. Americans will be pissed off if they think a foreign country hacked the vote more than if it's just the same old group of crooked oil billionaires.

At least we have some activists, yet besides the white house, Alex Halderman himself doesn't seem to think hacking was an issue.

SOOO Anyway, exactly how many DOJ phone calls do we need to do a recount??

Tried 202-514-2000 x4 (doesn't give me any options)

and

202-313-1555 (busy)

Suggestions??

I used the on-line form.

I left a message. I'll still try to get a human

.... want that counts anymore. It is the rest of us.
