WASHINGTON, November 17, 2026 (Rooters agency analysis) – Less than two years ago, the nation seemed to believe that the 2024 Great Compromise (GC) had ushered in what would be at least a decade or so of relative political peace. How wrong we (nearly) all were.

When many of the 42 percent of voters who had been told their 2024 presidential candidate had lost stepped up their arming and threatened to launch immediate civil war, it became clear that the main thing they had in common—aside from the belief that most of their allies were Reversals In Name Only—was their opposition to computerized ballot counting.

Hence the central concession leading to the GC was the pledge to replace machine ballot tabulating with hand counting in future elections. Other concessions, such as releasing the former President from prison and allowing him and members of his family to take political asylum in Saudi Arabia, were important, but all observers knowledgeable about the negotiations leading to the GC agreed that hand counting of ballots was the crucial issue.

But now, two weeks after the 2026 midterm elections, enough votes have been counted to cause uproar among minority supporters. It appears that the Reversal Party has won about 37 percent of votes nationally, which is enough to give it only 45 or 46 percent of the seats in the House of Representatives and 46 or 47 percent of the Senate. These figures have enraged the party and its backers, who are claiming that the vote totals are fraudulent.

While acknowledging that ballots were hand counted in all areas, the critics say that the adding up of ballots from different electorates to give a statewide total was done, “nearly always, by computers,” and that these results can’t be trusted.

According to B.G. Pilloes, the spokesperson of the QA Right Thinkers Movement, “When the people who are doing the hand counting report their totals, we can accept those figures even if they don’t all agree with each other. But when those figures from different areas are reported to the state capitals, they are just added together by a computer or some other machine that is easy to rig.”

Pilloes said he would give a prize of $10 million to anyone who could prove that the machines totaling statewide votes were not programmed by Fidel Castro or Hugo Chavez.

Similarly, the Reverse Everything Alliance has issued a call to “take machines out of deciding who we elected.” When electorate totals are reported to state capitals, it said, they should be added together “by American voters, not by foreign machines. The arithmetic Americans have learned in school is easily up to that job.”

Endorsing that demand, Pilloes added, “To be really sure there’s no

If they say there are 10,000 votes for candidate A and 9,500 for candidate B, we need to hand count those votes before we put them into the state total. And then hand count the total.”
