Christiane Amanpour is always thought provoking. Take a listen.

Food for thought.

A good review of how we got to January 6.

Mainstream Republicans and conservative commentators have been pushing the idea that Democrats can win only through fraud for decades.

Thank you to everyone that volunteered for poll duty, or campaigns and exercised your Constitutional right to vote, both in November and in the Georgia Senate runoffs. As the last few weeks have shown so very clearly, this is the most important set of elections in American history and, as was predictable, the fight to protect our fragile republic is far from over.

You may be wondering what we at the Election Software Project have been doing since we last met. Rest assured, the work has not stopped. We are now ready to provide an update and discuss our next steps. After watching Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris being sworn in as the 46th President and Vice President of the United States on Wed, January 20, we would like to invite you to join us on Thursday evening, January 21st at 7pm CST.

We know its been a few weeks since our last update. Everyday, we are hearing about a court decision, a State hearing, or a new filing. Meanwhile, the Election Software Project Team have been hard at work continuing to crunch the numbers for the November election and preparing to protect the U.S. Senate elections in Georgia on January 5.

More importantly, we have been following the Federal and State Court cases in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Currently, action is expected in 6 Federal cases (one at the U.S. Supreme Court) and a state court case in Wisconsin. What does this mean? A candidate is trying to reverse the result for 73 electoral votes before the Electoral College votes on December 14.

The Election Software Project Team is meeting this Thursday, November 10 at 7pm CST to discuss the latest information in the courts and in the Georgia Senate elections.

We hope you can join us. If you have attended any of our previous meetings, be on the lookout for an invite in your Inbox by end of the day Tuesday. If you are interested in receiving an invite, please DM with your name, your State, and your email address.

As always, please stay safe, well, and healthy. See you Thursday.
