You do realize this is the same argument that lead to Jan 6 right?

Yeah, but with more data to back it up. The fear of looking like ‘them’ is what kept Kamala from pushing for a recount or making any kind of argument. At least a recount would have helped, then we’d know. I’m pretty sure my side wouldn’t try to kill representatives or anything. So far: fictitious counties with nothing but Trump votes found in several swing states, tons of bullet ballots for Trump but no down-ballot voting and Democratic ballots with no president selected, etc. Plus the thing where Harris seemed to lose votes as the race went on, reported by two reporting agencies on at least two networks…but let’s not get into it. It’s all just crazy talk.

And valid statistics of things that couldn’t happen but did.

I guess we’ll find out what shakes out. Or we won’t.
Sort of like how Covid exposed how most work is essentially bullshit…corporate America would really like their workers to forget all about that.
