A post-election letter from tech executive and longtime Republican Stephen Spoonamore is reigniting urgent questions about whether the 2024 presidential election was rigged—and whether Kamala Harris was the rightful winner.
Spoonamore, a cyber security veteran who has consulted for banks, federal agencies, and private firms, says he’s “near certain” that Vice President Kamala Harris actually defeated Donald Trump—but that her win was stolen through a sophisticated election hacking operation.
“You should reverse your concession, call for both a full investigation of criminal activity and demand hand recounts in all seven swing states,” Spoonamore wrote in a scathing letter to Harris just days after the Nov. 5 election. “In my professional view there are multiple and extremely clear indications the presidential vote was willfully compromised.”
That letter, quietly published in November, is gaining renewed attention as new scrutiny surrounds Trump’s narrow victories in seven critical states. Spoonamore alleges that “bullet vote” ballots—ballots marked only for Trump, with no other votes—were artificially inserted into the vote count in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
A ‘Near Certainty’ the Vote Was Flipped
“In my view it is a near certainty the results have been changed at a scale which reversed the US presidential election,” Spoonamore wrote. “I am stating a hand count will most likely show you did win.”
His warning is stark. Backed by years of experience analyzing system vulnerabilities, Spoonamore paints a picture of an election result that was not just influenced—but manufactured. His main concern centers on the anomalous appearance of Trump-only ballots in key states. He argues that “a historically absurd number of Trump-only bullet ballots or undervote ballots” signals something far worse than voter enthusiasm: algorithmic vote fraud.
Suspicious Voting Patterns in Swing States
The numbers behind Spoonamore’s claims are being questioned. He claimed, for example, that more than 350,000 bullet ballots were cast in North Carolina alone. State records show far fewer potential undervotes—roughly 130,000—but Spoonamore maintains that many of the manipulated votes would leave no paper trail and could only be caught through a manual hand recount.
His critics point to discrepancies in his numbers, but Spoonamore insists the truth lies in the irregular patterns. “In every swing state, but not in their neighbor states, voters cast 100x or more Trump ballots than any prior election,” he wrote on X.
He is urging Harris—and the public—to demand recounts in counties showing the most statistically improbable results. “Take the two most outlandish precinct results from any county and just hand count the ballots,” he wrote. “They won’t match the tabulation outputs.”
Unresolved Breaches. Unanswered Questions.
Spoonamore isn’t alone in his concern. A separate “Duty to Warn” letter sent to Harris by seven election security experts from Free Speech for People details “serious election security breaches that have threatened the security and integrity of the 2024 elections.”
These breaches, dating back to 2020, allegedly exposed code for voting systems used across much of the country. That code was never recovered—and, according to Spoonamore and others, could have been weaponized to rig this year’s vote.
Experts have pointed to breaches in Georgia and the replication of voting software in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Colorado—potentially enabling hackers to create phantom votes or manipulate tabulation software.
Spoonamore’s Claim that Musk Was Involved
Adding another explosive element to his theory, Spoonamore links the fraud operation to Elon Musk’s “America PAC” and its controversial $1 million-a-day sweepstakes.
He alleges that the sweepstakes served as a data-gathering operation that collected voter names and addresses—information that could later be used to generate “ghost voters” in electronic poll books. Musk’s PAC required registrants to pledge support for the First and Second Amendments and targeted voters in all seven swing states.
“Musk’s team used this system to build a list of voters pledged to vote for Trump,” Spoonamore wrote. “Once they had the people’s names and street [addresses], this would allow for building a pool of ghost voters who could logically be marked for fake ballots.”
No concrete evidence has emerged to support the claim that Musk or his companies were directly involved in election tampering. But the timing, scale, and targeting of the PAC’s efforts have added fuel to Spoonamore’s suspicions.
The letter also hints at the possibility that Starlink, Musk’s satellite internet network, could have been exploited to monitor or manipulate vote data in real time. While this remains unproven and speculative, Spoonamore notes that many e-poll books are internet-connected and thus potentially vulnerable.
Joe Rogan, among others, remarked that Musk appeared to know the outcome of the election hours before the official calls were made. Whether coincidence or clue, Spoonamore wants that too investigated.
Bomb Threats as a Smoke Screen
Then there were the bomb threats—more than 60 in Georgia alone on Election Day, with dozens more reported nationwide.
Spoonamore says they were no coincidence. He believes the threats were timed to distract election workers, disrupt the chain of custody for ballots, and create legal justifications for resisting recounts.
“My first thought was, and my thinking remains, these bomb threats were called into tabulation centers and precincts where the hackers had already planned to conduct ghost bullet ballot introductions,” he wrote. “They wanted a disruption in the chain of custody… as a pretext to prevent hand recounting.”
A Programmed Outcome
Spoonamore believes the hacks were designed well in advance. “It is a bespoke and programmed outcome,” he wrote. “The hacks were embedded into the code even before the code was installed.”
He suggests that just 100 or fewer tabulators could have been targeted—just enough to flip the key states, but few enough to escape detection.
Despite the explosive allegations, Democrats have largely stayed quiet. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has rejected any suggestion the election was stolen. “I hope that after last week we can put to rest the fantasy of stolen elections and rigged outcomes,” he said.
But Spoonamore argues that refusing to investigate glaring anomalies isn’t high-minded—it’s negligent.
This is not a baseless conspiracy, he insists. It’s a warning backed by data patterns, suspicious activity, and unresolved security breaches. And unlike Trump’s 2020 “Big Lie,” Spoonamore isn’t asking anyone to storm the Capitol. He’s demanding audits. Recounts. Evidence.
“It is very simple to prove this,” he wrote. “Just hand count the ballots.”
