Hi, just a guess. But
The retryafter=86400 value is too large (> 600), will not retry anymore.
Seems to me like the call to your server in the verification step is failing.
Do you have port 80 blocked or stopping the call in another way ?
Texas is large. There will always be suppression, cheating, small victories for the good guys, and strangeness.
It’s probably never been a real democracy where each person can cast one ballot that is always counted as it should be. It wasn’t in most of the 1800s, was not during the civil rights era, and is not today.
But the methods of cheating have charged since the 1990s, and only exist now because very few people in Texas, who talk politics, understand democracy has two parts: the voting and the counting. And one should never trust the counters. Or trust but verify.
I totally like the energy, but there is no proof these are valid elections. The democrats in Texas consistently underperform against polls.
If this was a real democracy there would be proof.
While I do get it few here think this is an issue. There would be rioting in France should these same standards show up there.
Elected representatives can fight, yes.
I don’t think the election of the at least some of representatives by the people are above board. But the winners can do things others can’t.
Don’t think far right can be resisted statewide at all times. Too far gone.
But holding actions would be good to buy some time
That seems like good news in that this may block some harmful legislation!
I’m out of the loop here, how will this affect Texas?
In my opinion this is very important. And not only that, it’s the most important thing ever.
If you look at when the electronic change happened, the democrats lost Texas the very next election ( democrats back then were different too so it’s not like any social changes happened then).
Bush senior recommended the companies he helped set, and saw his son elected as governor soon after. I think that should be seen as billionaire influence.
There is no oversight on these. This can also be seen as violating United Nations guidelines for elections.
But what really dooms Texas is the unthinking and uncritical acceptance of counting votes in ways that are impossible to understand and exit polls and other stats cast doubt on.
I’m not sure if Texas is a democracy; that kind of strategy might work in some other states.
But I think part of the problem in Texas is many here like to pretend it’s a democracy, that votes matter; that participation makes things whole.
It isn’t and it can’t until enough people care, like you said, and they understand democracy has two parts, not just one. People must vote and the vote counts must be public and understood by the people. No computer voting managed by private software companies.
So so tired, but there is absolutely no way to change this system, and not willing leave Texas.
Because the thread was talking about that, and I accidentally posted in the wrong community. I normally block this due to its outrageous USA bias, yucky patriotism, narrow focus, outrageous mods, etc.
I’ll see myself out now… and will block world again after I deleted my block list
Then there was that Iranian passenger jet destroyed by the USA navy; killing more than all the downed jets by Russia this decade.

Not to mention the utter contempt of life by the USA Air Force in any year.
I’m not saying the USA is terrible in general, but it’s really easy to find counter example of callous unfeeling behavior, something all large aggressive countries share more or less equally

I think this is not conservatism, but a bunch of crooks, holding power in the state, who play to the most radical elements to shore up their theft of state funds.
The process makes file to read via http (not https), it’s just a nonce ( some random characters). Once their server reads that file, using the domain (and not the ip) and compares with what is expected, this shows you own the domain , and they give you a new ssl cert, modifying your server’s https configuration file (usually). And deletes the file it made .
