Too many bullet ballots

Percentages too high for bullet ballots in swing states

35 billion to 1 probability he would win 7 out of 7 with less than 50% of the vote.

We know they had access to the machines after 2020 election

Added their own code

Starlink !

The fix is in.

Less than a half a million votes needed.

They screamed so loud last time that it couldn't happen this time?

So we look at what history has foretold us.

No one wants to hear it.

Is there fight left for democracy?

Only you can decide if your willing to give up.

There should be recounts in suspect counties, if someone tries to block it, then their motivations for wanting to do so should be questioned. If they've nothing to hide then they should welcome a recount to prove the validity of the count and instil confidence in the system.

As a Computer Scientist who just finished reading all of this, if it's true, then just wow. The incompetence to have the data skewed so wildly from past years' norms is what we in the industry would call "fucking bonkers."

This election was crazy and it probably did have a few odd albeit legitimate statistics about it. But the numbers reported here, if accurate, are utterly damning. A manual recount of ballots must occur.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

So I just can't get jazzed about this until something...anything...is proven.

The instant this type of attack shows up one time anywhere then all bets are off and it's full recount by hand everywhere with anything else delayed to enforce it.

But until then...meh? Don't get me wrong - absolutely recount things. It'll either show fraud or prove trump won, both of which are useful outcomes. I fully support recounts, cuz it's just auditing

Ultimately, "American Exceptionalism" is what did us in. We've had it too easy for too long, and people can't even comprehend the fact that we could very well be on our way out right now. They think of the election as a meme rather than the very foundation of our country.

There was evidence of election tampering back in 2016 and yet those in the Obama administration did nothing to raise it as a concern, before he left office. Look up Reality Winner. She and there were others in the intelligence community, that raised the concern of Russia interfering with our elections then. It really makes me wonder why Obama did nothing about it then and why Harris and Biden are doing nothing about it now.

The "hack" requires compromising two different systems. The machines have a chain of custody and are not allowed to ever be connected to the internet.
So the claim that they hacked multiple systems and also compromised chain of custody at thousands of locations to install hacks physically...all without a single person getting caught...that needs more evidence.

But it's also an easily verifiable claim: a historic 10x increase in a metric is wild and should probably be investigated, regardless of what side you fall on. If the youth vote suddenly went from 20% to 40%, you'd want to know why, no matter the outcome. This is 5x that (if the claim is true) and can be verified with a relatively simple hand-count. It doesn't even have to be something malicious. A bug in the software that eats the downballot votes in certain scenarios could explain this change.

Legal systems don't (generally) let someone random sue on behalf of someone else. Trump can sue for his own benefit (claim he won); you can't sue for his benefit. Which means Harris has to start the legal ball rolling. And there's little evidence she's inclined to do so.

Yep. The standard remains the same, strangely, even if it was "my side" that lost.

There are some interesting patterns here, IF accurate to begin with, but MOST of this is speculation and supposition and incredulity. If you have solid, convincing evidence, take it to court and put it out publicly. Until then, it's just an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory.

I read this column and it contains no evidence of a hack.

What evidence?

One of the experts is the same guy who was an "expert witness" for people claiming the election machines in Ohio were hacked in 2004.

I'd heard that. But the real issue I see is that statistical flukes are interesting, maybe even indicative, but they are not evidence. They need to dig deeper. It _might_ be enough to get a judge to let them dig deeper.

Exactly. "These things didn't follow the usual pattern" simply isn't enough—especially not now. Almost nothing in 2016, 2020, or 2024 has followed the usual patterns.

Something this big would leave detectable fingerprints beyond "more bullet ballots than usual." And it shouldn't take too much digging to find them since we know what sort of thing we'd be looking for.

But it is 100% enough to give food cause for a recount. But I am weary of "actually it was fake" being more interference. The left isn't immune to propaganda.

All of this occurring naturally is statistically comparable to winning the lottery every day for the next 3 years.

This is another assertion without facts. As it's been stated beforehand it might be worth looking into but it in and of itself is not evidence. It might be time to accept that the majority of Americans are just garbage.
