Here you go, a ārealā source. He said there were more bullet ballots than there likely really are, but thereās still a really suspiciously high number of them. How is this not at least worth investigating?

Right, youāre not a conspiracy theoristāyouāre just āasking questionsā and urging people to ādo their own research.ā Where have we heard that before? While you throw around baseless accusations about the Harris-Trump election, the reality is this: thereās no credible evidence to support claims of widespread fraud. Swing states have robust systems for verifying results, and the election process is overseen by bipartisan officials, including both Democrats and Republicans who vouched for its integrity. Demanding ājust one investigationā isnāt about seeking the truth; itās about refusing to accept the outcome.
I know you youāre unlikely to read let alone comprehend this postājust like you didnāt read the article youāre twistingābut for anyone else stumbling across your nonsense, this is the reality: your claims are bullshit. Theyāre not just wrong, theyāre embarrassingly, demonstrably wrong based on the very data provided for you in the article to which you are responding. Letās go through the numbers youāve clearly ignored.
You say there were ā5-12% bullet ballotsā in swing states, but the data in no way supports that claim. Take North Carolina: out of 5,722,556 ballots cast, 5,592,243 included votes in the governorās race. That means just 130,313 ballots didnātāa mere 2.3%, not your laughable ā5-12%.ā Arizona? Of 3.4 million ballots cast, only 81,673 didnāt include votes for the Senate raceāabout 2.4%, again miles below your inflated, made-up conspiracy numbers. Nevada? The difference was 23,159 ballots out of nearly 1.5 millionāa negligible 1.6%. Interesting. On average thatāsā¦ basically right where you said it should ānormallyā be.
Bullet ballots in battleground states are rare, but theyāve always existed, especially in contentious elections. And theyāve always been higher in battleground states. Swing-state voters tend to focus on the presidency when the stakes are high, which is common knowledge to anyone who understands voting behavior. Your numbers? They donāt exist.
As for your implication that itās āimprobableā for Trump to win the presidency while Democrats do better down-ballot, I hate to break it to you, but racism and sexism is a much simpler, proven explanation with data to support it. Polling had consistently shown that Harris faced deep resistance, even among Democrats, with much of it rooted in gender and racial bias. Voters who rejected Harris while supporting other Democrats werenāt casting āimpossibleā ballotsāthey were reflecting prejudices that have been documented for decades. You donāt need a vast conspiracy to explain why Kamala Harris lost; you need to look at exit polls and confront the ugly reality of American history and culture
The bomb threats on Election Day, which you seem desperate to weave into your narrative, were investigated by the FBI and found to largely be hoaxes originating from Russian email domains. These threats, while reprehensible, had no impact on the electionās integrity and were not linked to any domestic conspiracy. The idea that they were part of a grand scheme to disrupt the āchain of custodyā or facilitate hacking is pure fantasy, unsupported by a shred of evidence. If anything, they reflect an attempt to intimidate voters and officials, not to alter outcomes. Clinging to this as proof of fraud is the hallmark of conspiracy theorists: taking unrelated incidents and spinning them into a baseless, implausible story when reality doesnāt fit their worldview.
And this is exactly where your conspiratorial thinking falls apart. Rather than accept straightforward, evidence-backed explanationsāstrategic voting in swing states, voter sexism, or even the simple fact that Trump remains popular among many, indeed a majority of, voters in this countryāyou leap to shadowy plots and grand conspiracies. This is textbook conspiracy logic: inflate normal patterns into anomalies, ignore the data that contradicts you, and demand investigations into āquestionsā youāve invented yourself. Itās bad-faith reasoning at its worst.
Your entire argument isnāt skepticism; itās denial. Youāre not interested in the factsāif you were, youād see how consistently they dismantle your claims. This isnāt about election fraud. Itās about your refusal to reckon with reality.
She lost. Get over it.
Whew. I did, in fact, read it.
There was no need to be rude in your post about it.
Turns out the numbers are still being updated. Theyāve gone up about since you posted (and funny enough, Trump no longer has above 50% of the vote - i.e. the mandate of the people). Iāll admit that I was getting my information from Stephen Spoonamoore, and that the data does not match up with the current results. I went and pulled the numbers as well and it looks like itās even lower than what you found based on comparison to Senate data. However, Iām not a security specialist, nor am I a data analyst. I was deferring to people that have more experience than me.
That said, Iām not saying that it was rigged - I am however saying that a bunch of weird shit happened, and Iām hoping that someone looks into deeper JUST TO BE SURE. It looks like Pennsylvania is actually doing a recount - if they come back with nothing, Iāll shut up about it. And yes, itās entirely skepticism, Iām not in denial about Trump winning.
I donāt get why thereās such a hesitation about being sure of something. Itās like smelling smoke, and being told to stfu about there being a fireā¦that everything is working as intended. Like, do I have āevidenceā of there being a fire? No, butā¦why tf wouldnāt we just establish that nothing is on fire, just to be on the safe side.
I 100% agree that none of the things suggested are āevidence,ā but without some sort of investigation, no one will ever actually be able to get any evidence.
If you actually wind up responding, try not to strawman me this time as some sort of election denier, ādo your own researchā kook. I didnāt do that to you, did I?
Yeah fair enough. I think I was responding in tone more to the OP and other desperate conspiracy theorists who are clinging to the hope, against all evidence, that the election was somehow stolen from the democrats. Given Republicans now will have majorities in the house, senate, state legislatures, supreme court, governorships, and will control the executive branch ā not to mention the anticipated purge of federal agencies and loyalist-stuffing ā I find it very important that democrats level with themselves instead of looking for excuses.
While itās true Trump lost an absolute majority, the republican candidate still beat the democratic candidate by about 2.5 million votes, with about 98.9% votes counted. And, as you noted, recounts in some counties and states are occurring, and the FBI has been, and as far as I know still is, investigating questions and concerns about the election being hacked since at least August.
That said, I take your point, and Iām sorry for being so derisive in the tone of my response. I appreciate your level-headed reply.
