There were significant statistical aberrations and deviations in more than a few swing districts, in terms of the vote spread over time. And there were shockingly sweeping changes made to the configuration files of voting machines very shortly before the election. And the companies that make and deploy the electronic voting machines we use nationwide are largely controlled by a small handful of companies that have a… shall we say, deeply suspicious quantity and depth of personal ties to right-wing mega donors and politicians.

Nothing conclusive, unfortunately… but that’s also because they’ve destroyed most of the data in places where it’s not illegal to do so (which is most places).

So no, it’s not actually tin-foil-hatty to be skeptical of the veracity of the outcome of the 2024 election. Unfortunately, there’s essentially fuck-all anyone can do about it at this point.

Guarantee the person you're replying to didn't read that before downvoting.

He also had a FUCKING LOTTERY.

More keeps coming out... which is the exact polar opposite of the dozens of court cases that disproved trumps big lie.

I did read it. And this is the only part that matters

If there's proof, maybe she should have done something about it instead of folding? Anything to keep the falsehood of our democracy alive?

Yep. As soon as she conceded, it legally doesn't matter if the Trump campaign cheated. When she conceded the election, that locked in the result, regardless of what might come to light later.

My pet theory is that Dems don't want election rigging to come to light ... because then people might start looking at the primaries as well.

Take a look at this before dismissing these concerns out of hand.

So Harris should have tried harder and chose not to. What a candidate.
