Also of note, the judge was a Trump appointee
these damned activist judges…
limiting the absolute power of the president to be a dictator?
that’s just undemocratic…
some people voted for him… and sure there’s statistical impossibilities proving beyond all doubt that there was a coordinated effort to hack the election… like how trump flipped 88 counties and Harris flipped zero… and in some counties, after a certain time, suddenly a lot of people voted for trump while voting down the rest of the ballot democrat, which nobody would ever do… especially not coincidentally at the same time…
sure there’s all that, but the executive branch should have absolute, authoritarian power do do whatever they want and the existing laws should be interpreted to fit that….
damned activist judges… and george soros somehow too….
I feel like everything past "...some people voted for him" needs a citation or ten.
I have not heard of any credible claims of election fraud for 2024 no matter how much I wish there was (even if it makes no difference except for slightly restoring some of my lost faith in humanity).
ok, assuming you're sincere:
Without a decent math background, or at least statistics, it's hard to explain...
post-covid conspiracy shit non-stop, i pretty much hate everyone that tries to talk about anything like this,
and especially anyone that links to a video podcast to explain something....
and to be a hypocrite, here is a great video, with actually reputable or at least educated people,
on an actually well established podcast, breaking down hard math, and computational statistical analysis
with actually informative graphs.
this is a founder of Election Truth Alliance, i'm starting the video when the slides start:
https://youtu.be/AWSWqn7UHYM?t=164
the two long/didn't watch version is: in suspicious counties, they show this huge anomaly where after a certain amount of votes
are cast and counted, the percentage of votes starts to change in a way that no other election has shown... with the exception of 2020, and recently Russia and the country (not the us state) of Georgia (also highly suspected of russian tampering)
...
the law of large numbers shows that the first 10% of votes cast should roughly have the same results as 100% of votes cast... this is the basis for exit polls, btw... they don't get everyone's results on exit, but enough to give a very accurate prediction... this is also the basis of "quality control" testing a certain amount of things, but not all, before shipping them out...
...
so what's apparent in the data analyzed, is it breaks the normal bell curve, a distribution seen in almost all of statistics of this nature, as is normally seen in all elections, everywhere in history... except for these votes for trump and the senate...
the normal bell curve IS seen for all other votes on the SAME ballots, cast by the same people... so people who voted democrat on everything else on the ticket, suddenly started voted for trump and a republican senate at the same time, anomalously, but voted normally for everything else....
after a certain amount of votes are cast, with democrats leading in highly populated democrat strongholds, they suddenly start shifting to trump getting 60% of the vote.... it's mathy so it's hard to understand or communicate, but it's mathematically impossible...
key, highly improbable points are:

have the info you seek….
maybe i’m jaded but the only responses i get to this is “i know! and nothing can be done!”.
or “i don’t believe you, will ask for sources, and then not look at them and continue to not believe you”….
trump straight up bragged about it on stage even….
Don't take this the wrong way, but neither of those are what I would consider credible sources for something of this magnitude. Anything with the word "truth" in it is immediately suspect in my view, and a Reddit post is absolutely not a primary source (not to mention, Reddit has been blocked in my router since 2023).
Both of those seem like conspiracy rabbit holes to me. Show me something posted by a credible outlet, fact checked, and confirmed by another credible outlet and we'll talk.
ah, so you’re a “i don’t believe you, will ask for sources, and then not look at them and continue to not believe you”.
have a nice day, sea lion
Dude, they just asked for some reputable sources. I have combed through all this stuff several times, and while it is absolutely sus, it's pretty much all conjecture. If the theories they posit are correct then it should be able to be confirmed with the actual voting data, someone asking to see that confirmation isn't fucking sea lioning.
Exactly. The most I've heard are a few isolated incidents of intimidation, attempted arson, and some voter roll purges (but they were allowed to use a provisional ballot).
There's several articles covering each, but this one from USA Today covers them at least in an overview.
None of that is anywhere near the magnitude OC is claiming, and is no more or less than any other election year with the exception of the 30,000 to 40,000 damaged voter registration forms in Arizona (see USA Today link above). And of those, it wouldn't have made a difference even if all of those voted for Harris.
Again, as much as I wish there was fraud or something on a scale large enough to change the outcome, there's no credible evidence pointing to that.
Without a decent math background, or at least statistics, it's hard to explain...
I doubt you "combed" through it, but rather skimmed over it...
and hell, post-covid conspiracy shit non-stop, i pretty much hate everyone that tries to talk about anything like that,
and especially anyone that links to a video podcast to explain something....
