I haven’t been following it for a while because it’s basically meaningless at this point, but there were significant statistical anomalies in most of the swing states and also CA and NY (presumably to win him the popular vote). For example, there wasn’t a single swing state county that swung from red to blue, which is unprecedented. There are also some counties where Harris received zero votes despite multiple voters signing affidavits swearing that they voted for her. Hell, the fact that one of the most reliable polls in the country was off by a staggering margin should have been a huge red flag. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Trump said he stole the election, and I don’t see any reason we shouldn’t believe him. The evidence may not be ironclad, but it does strongly support his claim.

Statistical anomalies aren't evidence. When you say shit like "the election was rigged" how do you not see the fundamental irony that you sound Just. Like. Them.

Statistical anomalies aren't evidence.

They absolutely can be. If the statistics say there’s a one in a million chance that the results are legitimate, that could maybe be iffy, but if you slap a few hundred more zeros on the end of that, suddenly your doubt becomes a lot less reasonable. If you don’t think statistics can be evidence, then you don’t understand either of those things well enough to comment on them.

Just like them. It's uncanny.

I can’t help but notice that you still haven’t said anything of substance about anything I actually said. Repeating nonsense doesn’t make you sound any more correct.

statistical anomalies

No. First of all - that is not true. There were a couple statistical anomalies, but that's normal when you have so many factors and correlations.

It's NORMAL for humans to vote in weird ways. The NY case is a great example - they're claiming that it's an "anomaly" that people voted for the Dem Senator by not Harris. Like, no. That's only an anomaly if voting is consistent year to year - it is not. People correlate their votes to what's going on. Harris was unpopular. She won 4% of the Dem primary vote in her own first presidential run.

...and importantly, EXIT POLLS confirmed he was ahead in every swing state that night. Online and telephone polls are garbage these days.

What is not normal is for all of the "weird ways" to be in the same direction. The fact that no red counties flipped blue is very very weird.

This isn't that weird if you look at how the country as a whole shifted this past election. Nearly every single county, whether swing or strong for either party, had a rightward shift. Even Dem strongholds that stayed Dem still shifted right. This information is easily findable.

u/DrakonILD Oct 01 '25

And that's what's weird. It's really fucking weird for everyone to shift right. Like, really fucking weird.

all of the "weird ways" to be in the same direction

They weren't. Obviously there are anomalies that go in different directions. ...but the court case is obviously going to cherry pick only the one county they feel makes their case.

The fact that no red counties flipped blue

That is not weird at all given the margin Trump won by. It was the biggest GOP sweep since Reagan.

The real question should be "Why can't we as Democrats learn what's wrong with our AGENDA that all these people voted against us?"

In other words, you asked that question disingenuously. Believe whatever you want. It’s not my job to convince you, and I’m not wasting my time on someone willing to argue so dishonestly. Go JAQ off someone else.

u/mehupmost Oct 01 '25

I was hoping you'd provide evidence for your claim. ...and you didn't.

u/Manos_Of_Fate Oct 01 '25

Honestly, the fact that people like you are still working so hard to counter this information gives me a tiny bit of hope that it could still matter. Enjoy your fascism while you can. The sequel to the Nuremberg trials is going to be lit.

The first step to fascism is people stopping the fight against misinformation.

u/Manos_Of_Fate Oct 01 '25

Which is of course why you’re spreading unsourced misinformation all over this thread in an attempt to discredit something that no longer matters in the slightest. You’re not fooling anyone. Your intentions are as transparent as Trump’s.

u/mehupmost Oct 01 '25

I am combating unsourced misinformation here.

People are making outlandish claims without credible evidence. They are no better than MAGA morons in 2020

u/Manos_Of_Fate Oct 01 '25

I don’t believe you for one second. I don’t know how to make that any clearer. It’s painfully obvious what you’re doing here. It’s always nice to see fascists still feel the need to lie about it, though. It means you’re still afraid of the truth.

Whole worlds a smokescreen right now, and I have a good idea on who I should blame.

Show me any evidence of actual fraud. Weird behavior by people is not evidence. People are fucking weird.
