    Seems technically plausible, I’d like a group to try to simulate such an attack with the hardware pieces involved, implementing this in a proof-of-concept… let’s see the Rockland hand recount as well and compare against official results. Until then it still sounds like a cuckooo conspiracy to me.

    Things being where they are, and with how many MAGA supporters showed their true colours from brainwashing, at this point I would rather take the opportunity for the US to associate MAGA Republicanism with this dark time on the brink of fascism, than coast into mediocrity. It’s a huge risk, but with the number of people united, coming together this weekend tells me there’s a chance the people of America could come out stronger than their tyrannical President, spineless Congress and Supreme Court.

      Easier than what I had imagined. A half measure wolnt work when palantir had years to plan. A swing state needs to do a full recount. And it can’t be just any swing state. You see America is the particular kind of stupid that would purchase un-auditable, fully digital machines.

    Data that makes no statistical sense. A clean sweep in all seven swing states. The fall of the Blue Wall. Eighty-eight counties flipped red—not one flipped blue.

    “When the hurricane blew through, every single window of my house was broken. Surely you’d think at least one would survive through sheer chance. I refuse to believe my windows could’ve been that breakable, so this is evidence that my house was sabotaged.”

    Donald Trump outperformed expectations in down-ballot races with margins never before seen—while Kamala Harris simultaneously underperformed in those exact same areas.

    It couldn’t possibly be that lots of low-information voters who don’t give a shit about the rest of the ballot didn’t like Kamala and decided to take another flyer on Trump because he was at least promising to shake things up and take action, obviously it’s a conspiracy. We made it very clear that the economy was fine, and that if you were feeling financially stressed, no you weren’t.

    If one were to accept these results at face value—Donald Trump, a 34-count convicted felon, supposedly outperformed Ronald Reagan.

    And this is obviously impossible because the author doesn’t feel like it could happen. Surely the United States would never elect a bad person, that’s not like us at all.

    Look, the results were pretty uniform across all 50 states, across all 50 completely isolated and different voting systems. The country took a big swing to the right, in swing states and uncompetitive ones, in states with paper ballots and electronic ones. We told the right this same stuff in 2020, it was true then, and it’s true now. Rigging so many elections on the scale it would take to swing the overall results requires an insanely huge conspiracy with no leaks and no mistakes and perfect accounting for the massive number of public statistics and results surrounding elections. If it happened, we’d have more than a handful of conspiracy theorists saying “but these numbers look funny” and until that happens, pay this whole thing no mind.

    Given how this administration can’t cover shit up to save their own asses, and given Trump’s very negative perception by the public right now, if there was major evidence of widespread fraud someone would have come forward with it by now. Whether for the fame, the money, the book tours, or the warm fuzzy feeling of watching Trump’s lackies go to prison. This was true when swiss-cheese-for-brains made his claims of election fraud in 2020, and it’s still true now.

    If Kamala never conceded we would have something.

    Regretfully, Kamala could have had 99.9999% of the votes … but if she concedes the race to Trump he wins. There may be laws or legislation to punish or impeach Trump and the Republicans, and the government (led by Trump and the Republicans) could choose to pursue them … I somehow doubt they will.
