Look what I found waiting on my doorstep! I've lost track of how many years this book was in the making. And now it finally exists in the real world!

If you've got a young reader that likes graphic novels & stories with lots of humor, magic, and unexpected twists, they're gonna love this one 😊🧩✨

Sorry, didn't see this earlier--I usually mention that when I share this article. I think it's still relevant bc: a. It's an analysis of the shady history of election machine companies, & it's all the same people today; 2. Obama did fix *some* of the issues in the HAVA act, but many are still there.

Unfortunately, our election systems are not secure. It's been demonstrated by cybersecurity experts, computer scientists, even the Mueller report concluded that Russia breached our systems in 2016.

How to Rig an Election, by Victoria Collier The G.O.P. aims to paint the country red

There are so many sources that explore how insecure our elections are that it's hard to even know where to begin. This article is good for historical context: harpers.org/archive/2012... There have been some changes since then but the players in the election machine space are all the same.

Exit Polling around the World Your weekly excerpt from one of my books. This week: "The Hidden History of the War on Voting"

People are going to tell you that exit polls matched the outcome. You may be interested to learn that exit polls are "adjusted" by the pollsters to match the outcomes. Raw exit polling data is hard to find. Thom Hartmann wrote about this here: hartmannreport.com/p/exit-polli...

Meet project "Good Old USA" the now unsealed DoJ file on the Russian influence in the US to sway opinion on the war in Ukraine.

Something Trump has bought into hook-line and sinker.

It was held under seal, because we got the literal playbook revealing their methods

Looking back, we should've been more suspicious of the way they'd say, "Save the children......for me!" and then snicker and high-five each other

Where are the "Save the Children" people? They'll be livid about this, right? Right?

Thank you so much, Amelia! I had a lot of fun with this story :) Need to get it all posted here, but it's finished over on doramitchell.com/lamplight :)

I wish you had gotten a response on this. I've been finding conflicting information everywhere about turnout.

Post-election audits are woefully inadequate & do not do what this says. They cannot & do not "ensure every vote is accurately counted and no discrepancies are found."Claims were made the 2020 election was stolen; then claims were made that elections are impenetrably secure & audited.Both are untrue

This is seriously garbled.
1. No audit even attempts to ensure that every vote is accurately counted. The best audits, RLAs, only check whether the reported winner really won. ...

Wow, it's fun to report all your comments. Curious to see if Bluesky moderation is any good.

Lamplight, page 15. This page was fun to draw! For anyone curious about process, this is all done in pen and ink/inkwash, with some digital clean-up.

Lamplight, p14 ✉️ If you're just jumping in, the story so far: A woman begins receiving inexplicable letters that seem to be written by a 19th c. Arctic explorer. The letters document his exploration of a strange house he found on the tundra--a house that's becoming increasingly bizarre & menacing...

If you missed the beginning of my weird fiction/short horror comic Lamplight, I'm also working on posting the whole thing at doramitchell.com/lamplight
It's easier to read in that format, I think, so give it a look if you're intrigued by the story 👻

So, one year after I started my "short" "quick" Inktober 2024 project, I finally finished it! Might as well finish posting it, huh? Inktober may be over, but it seems like we're living in a never-ending spooky season, so let's have a little Lovecraftian horror 💀

Here's Lamplight page 12...
