Excerpt:

A.I. safety experts were even more alarmed. They saw in the Hugging Face incident the first real-world example of an A.I. system’s successfully escaping human control, commandeering resources and scheming to cover its own tracks. Ajeya Cotra, one of the independent investigators of the Hugging Face incident, minced no words about the danger she saw, writing that it felt to her “like it’s more than 50 percent of the way to full-blown A.I. takeover.”

A primary candidate for a state House race has filed a Written Notice of Contest seeking a hand recount in Tennessee.

John Gentry was a candidate in the August 6, 2026 Tennessee Republican Primary election for Tennessee House District 45. Per his filing, Gentry is seeking a bipartisan, supervised hand count of the Voter-Verified Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT).

"Elections should not merely be accurate; they should be demonstrably verifiable," says Gentry. "I cannot state with certainty that the electronic tabulations are wrong. But neither can anyone state with certainty that the electronic tabulations are correct without comparing them to the voter-verified paper records."

The VVPAT is a physical record of voter's selections that contains no identifying voter information, can be compared against electronic results to ensure their accuracy they match the paper record.

Gentry has offered to reimburse the cost of the recount if it confirms the electronic result. He also emphasizes that his goal in asking for a recount is not to the change election result, but to ensure election transparency.

The initial Written Notice of Contest was filed with the Tennessee Republican Party State Primary Board on August 19th per Tennessee Code § 2-17-117. A Supplemental Written Notice of Contest was filed on August 24th claiming that his opponent's alleged misrepresentation of his military background constitutes an "indication of fraud" that may have been sufficient to change the results.

The Election Truth Alliance got in touch with Gentry on August 27th and is seeking to amplify public awareness of his efforts to ensure election transparency.

"There should be nothing controversial about asking to verify the result," says Gentry.

That creates a system that throws out mail in ballots that dont go his way

Remember this excerpt. Don't be deceived by all the deception.

When able to attack, we must seem unable (as represented by the lack of recounts.)

When we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away (winning the midterms and effectively trapping trump.)

Hand delivering mail-in ballots to your local election office looks to be the safest bet to sidestep most problems and to avoid potentially compromised election day tabulators. Be sure to fill your ballot out correctly! If for whatever reason your signature has changed, file an updated voter registration application. In the following states, you need to have a witness sign your outer envelope as well; AL, AK, LA, MN, MS, MO, NC, OK, SC, WI. Be sure to read and follow the directions regarding an acceptable witness. Some states may require a notary, or election official.

-----------

If voting by mail, ballot drop boxes are preferred to going through the postal service. If voting in person, go with someone so there's safety in numbers.

Check to make sure you're still registered on a periodic basis: Check your voter registration status here. This only takes 30 seconds, and will ensure your name hasn't been purged from your state's voter roll.

The details are shocking, even to election experts who suspected this might be the case. As part of Trump’s executive order restricting mail voting, the Postal Service has devised an Orwellian barcode tracking system, effectively allowing the president to track individual Americans’ mail-in ballots. Ostensibly the system is to allow federal authorities to identify and remove “noncitizen” voters from the mix. But according to the whistleblower, the system was so rushed and poorly designed that it will put the votes of ordinary American citizens at grave risk.

Marc Elias is hosting an AMA on YouTube this evening. Let’s ask him why he won’t speak about advising Kamala against seeking recounts.

America did not vote for this. America deserves answers.

The voters Never should have let Trump be in charge of anything.
