In districts where voters clearly favored Democrats (evident by strong support for democratic Senate candidate Kirsten Gillibrand) Kamala Harris’s name either underperformed or seemed to disappear from the top of the ballot completely. They’d found that in some of the counties people where voted overwhelmingly for the Democratic candidate Kirsten, Kamala Harris somehow got no votes at all.

At the same time, Donald Trump raked in more than 750,000 votes above what Republican Senate candidates received on the exact same ballots. That would mean 750k people voted for him & skipped the rest of the Republicans on the same ballot. That kind of pattern doesn’t scream voter preference. It whispers something went wrong in the vote count itself.

That’s not split-ticket voting. That’s a mathematical anomaly.

Ah, so the same thing everybody with half a brain pointed out right away, before it was too late to do anything about, now were seeing that it was definitely a problem. Whoda thunk

Boy it sure would be nice to live in a world NOT filled to brim with the most gullible, hate filled mongrels that gods angry asshole could shit out.

Maybe we could have had nice things once in a while.

Basically Donald Trump stole the 2024 election the same thing he screamed happen to him for four years, and still screams about. Trump STOLE THE ELECTION, and Democrats didn't do jack shit when true fraud happen.
