Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

In addition to the link, when Mondale got absolutely destroyed by Reagan, he still managed to flip 30 counties across the country.

Despite getting more votes than Biden in some areas, Harris didn't flip a single county anywhere in a far closer race.

I can't help but think this knee jerk reaction to even questioning the results of an election that Trump bragged about rigging as an ideology that takes pride in their accusations being confessions was the real point of keeping the fake outrage going for four years.

Rig the election and then watch the liberals refuse to consider the idea because "that's what they do"

"you didn't believe the proof I didn't have so I won't even look at your proof I can't understand"

The issue I have is that there is an incredibly corrupt, absolutely vile, but completely legal explanation for the massive difference in down-ballot participation; Musk and other billionaires flooded social media platforms with heavy pro-Trump propoganda. Easily influenced people were pushed to vote for Trump, but given no directions for how to vote locally, so they didn't.

Should these votes be counted is another question entirely. I personally don't view it any differently than vote buying, as these voters are essentially agents fulfilling their orders, but there's nothing on the books that bars anyone from manipulating low-intelligence people from voting how they're told.

Look at the scatter plots more closely.

Every dot (pair) is one precinct reporting.

Up and down is % of the vote.

Left to right is time in order of report.

Every dot is a unique data point. There should be no link in the results between precincts, right? Everyone should just be a total of votes for Trump or Harris.

That's exactly what was seen for the results of early voting ballots. Normal.

However, there's an obvious bias for Trump in the other reporting that increases in an obvious, consistent trend increasingly for Trump that's basically impossible to have organically.

Even if what you said were true, it couldn't account for the clean trend line working toward a goal.

The more densely populated an area is, the bluer it votes. The areas with the most people and lean blue should take longer to report. The smaller the precinct , the more red it usually goes but also faster to report. However, the most Trump leaning result came in last including large blue areas.

Analysing the data raises a lot of red flags that Democrats are all Helen Keller about.

This is the same bullshit that the republicans were peddling back in 2020.

There wasn't enough fraud to change the election the big difference is more people decided they didn't care who won and sat the election out.

  • Election Audits occurs by selecting random batches of votes to verify, and they doesn't show discrepencies.

  • There are poll watchers across the political spectrum, the Democratirc and Independent poll watchers are there, there are no widespread reports of election irregularities.

  • States run elections, even if red states or swing states are rigged, it still doesn't explain why safe blue states also went red by double digit percentage points. The trend seems to be nationwide.

My Conclusion: Although the election was not totally fair, the unfair aspects didn't happen in the form of "rigged votes". They happened as unlimited billionaire political spendings funding propaganda and misinformation, voter roll purges, the First-Past-The-Post voting system and the Electoral College that causes the emergence of a Two-Party System which causes voter apathy because people don't feel like those are rea choices, and inflation that just so happen to occur duing Biden's presidency, and voters not understanding that: correlation =/= causation; and thus blamed Biden for it, further fueling voter apathy, and lower turnout from Democratic voters.

Are there any sources for this, or are we just supposed to take a random AM radio station and random website that lists its executive board without real names, links to other verifiable profiles, or any way of proving its legitimacy?
