Interesting that the Trump goons were not out. Silent. They usually go to county clerks offices and start protesting about cheating.
My hypothesis. The vote was fudged at local county election offices in all swing states.
There are votes that were deleted for VP Harris. Trump knew this , thats why he never tempered his words.
Russia organized the election fraud, funded by billionaires. With the support of Christo-Fascists they got enough votes for the Felon from misogynists, racists and dumbf*cks to make the data look reasonable. All they had to do is delete the votes that put Harris in the win column.
Tell me Im wrong. I will not countenance criticism of VP Harris campaign. She had the ground game, the social media network, huge volunteers and a passionate message of joy and opportunity.
This is the confederacy seeking its revenge and theyre doing it now with success with the gleeful billionaires, Legacy media, misinformation trolls all playing their part.
Make no mistake. Winter Has Come to the USA. Fear and hate is an addiction that Felon voters crave.

(10,087 posts)It could just be that too many Americans are misinformed about what Biden-Harris did for this country and what Trump did and will do to it. But I don't put anything past him & his awful minions.

And the total absence of any repub ground game anywhere. Disinformation and nazi normalization by corporate media was a big factor, but not this big. Our Republc is on life support.

(2,214 posts)steal it. I just thought it would be after the voting, not during. I haven't trusted voting machines since 2024.
in 2020 John Dean said Trump was convinced the Dems cheated because Trump cheated and it didn't work. I never could find out what he meant by that. Maybe that machines were skewing the voted count, but they didn't program it to skew enough for a Trump win? All Republicans did better than expected, a lot of Dem senators lost because of this. Trump came squeaky close to a win despite polls showing Biden significantly ahead.
I just don't believe polls can be that wrong 3 times in a row, always skewing to Trump and the Republicans. Meanwhile Republicans are caught exposing machines illegally (Colorado and Georgia) and we assume nothing is afoot anywhere else.
Dems can't claim fraud because we've been so busy countering Trump's allegations of fraud. Nor is there a way (or a will) to investigate.
And those of us who even discuss it will be accused of being conspiracy theorists. But really, Americans are not this stupid, racist, suicidal, antidemocratic, or blind to one brillinat campaign against a demented fascist. There is something wrong here.

(67,087 posts)reading your post this seems plausible. This goes much deeper, and I hope we find out more.
MadameButterfly
(2,214 posts)Dems I spoke to after 2004 rolled their eyes. But we ignored that at our peril. Gore and Kerry were gracious, but left us at risk.
I've read that things have been done since then to make voting systems more secure. But since there is no recognition that anything went wrong in 2004, it's hard to know if that got fixed. There were conventions where young hackers showed that they could change results in voting machines very quickly. i hope this caused new security measures, but since no one is talking, who knows?
Note that 2004 is cited as the only election since 1988 that Republicans won the popular vote. Which makes the appointment of Thomas and Alito legitimate. Which ignores that the majority hasn't voted for Republicans since Poppy Bush.
I fear it's too late to find out anything. Elections will be purposefully skewed from now on with Trump in charge. No investigations unless we get cracking in the next 2 months. After that, I'll be looking to the resistance not elections.

(350 posts)This criminal enterprise was at work in 2016 and in 2020. And now again.
We can present the case for fraud in a reasonable manner. The MAGA refusted the 2020 results with some crazy ideas.
But, three intelligence agencies warned of Russian interference. Im sure that MI-5 . Those Brits have deep roots in intelligence gathering.

(891 posts)That supreme court that granted the president IMMUNITY. Something tells me that he's going to assist Kamala & the legions of legals get to the bottom of this...
BTW, The Apricot Diaper himself announced that he won PA based on voted from the rural and rustbelt areas of the state BUT at least 200K mail ins have NOT been counted....IT hasn't been won. The AP is announcing the winner AWFULLY fast for a "man" who is CLEARLY demented, slurring his words, calling the country, Puerto Rico & Haitians GARBAGE, SHRINKING rallies of people who left early, while he droned on about the same old nonsense, ABSOLUTELY no money for down ballot races due to his theft for his legal defense., etc.
Don't give up. We have ACTUAL evidence that shit is afoot. Kamala isn't conceding ...don't give up. It ain't over. Besides, he wasn't running for the oval office but FROM prison.

(94,433 posts)This horrible feeling before, left wondering about my very existence. When the adrenaline wears off, I will be working to see what I can do to better my situation, it will involve a lot of labor,effort and planning. And will be costly, no doubt.
I will have to sell as much as I can before I can go. Breaks my heart too, I originally planned, for decades, to retire and die here. Now, I'm thinking I need to get someplace else or I won't be safe or die on my terms. Not thrilled about being executed.
The thought of becoming a refugee isn't very inviting.
MadameButterfly
(2,214 posts)to be at risk. Thank you for your bravery and I'm sorry for your loss. I've wondered what everyone in your position must be thinking right now. I wish you the best, and that condiitions will change for you to return.

(94,433 posts)When I leave, I won't return here. Too many things are going bad in this fragile ecosystem with all the people moving here without understanding where they are and how they impact it. The ecosystem crash with be catastrophic for the entire western US, might as well leave now. I might just pack up a backpack and go on a walkabout for the rest of my days. Not my ideal retirement but better than a cage.
I don't know how high profile I am but I moved here to get away from death threats and hostile politicians because of my advocacy on a hot topic in the area, still have a lot of enemies in some places not so far from here. I would have to go where people don't recognize me.
Still, unimportant as I may be, there are enough in the region who would gladly hunt me down just to do what they've threatened... I can see how a permission structure for such vengeance would be put in place early on. I am retired now but hate lives on forever, it seems.
Too old for this shit.

(67,087 posts)flip with my comment. You mentioned whiskey, but in Russia, they drink vodka to numb their pain. This has Russia's fingerprints all over it. They meddled in our election.

(4,138 posts)they've engaged in massive voter purges in red states like Texas, set up ways to discount or throw out votes cast in places like Georgia, blocked or tried to block absentee ballots, like from overseas voters, burned ballot drop boxes, had bomb threats phoned in to minority voting districts, sent threatening emails to Democratic voters in various locales, sent authorities to raid Latino voter organizers in Texas, bombarded registry offices with often fraudulent challenges of registered voters, threatened voters and election officials with violence, among a number of other actions and legal maneuvers to disenfranchise voters.
So your premise is not entirely improbable.
Im noticing that more people on social media are asking similar questions.
This doesnt add up.

(37 posts)I think we just highly underestimated the misogyny of a majority of the country. And the patriarchal nature of the majority of the country in those swing states, but especially in Hispanics. Simple as that.

(1,233 posts)Were they reluctant to vote for a woman? I have no idea if this is the case.
I can also see there being some kind of fix. They had no ground game. Didn't need one?
Blue Full Moon
(1,488 posts)Netanyahu instead of working to end the conflict and save hostages pretty much said he would wait on Trump. After phone calls to Trump. Then there is Trump and Musk both phoning Putin. Then the bomb threats. Then there was talk about republican controlled areas deciding the outcomes. Not to mention that voter fraud for the majority is republican. No wonder they holler election fraud. They do it. Can see it but proving is another matter. Not to mention like the last time the Supreme Court openings.

(2,959 posts)My ballot was scanned, the screen said," ballot accepted" and shut off.
I asked the staff, "don't I get a review of my vote? I always did before"
Worker said, " yeah, the county, changed the machines so lines wouldn't be so long"
Not that my vote would have made a difference here, in Fla, but,

(1,233 posts)Exit polls I heard earlier in the day said Trump would be best on crime! Wtf is wring with people?
pat_k
(10,883 posts)And we idiotically cheered those lines as signs of big turnout. When in fact, polling places have been closed in populous areas every cycle. And when a voter waits in a long line one cycle, they are less likely to vote the next. Lines are correlated with suppressed turnout. Not increased turnout. And when confronted with a long line, at least 5% are unable, or unwilling to wait. Lines are an intolerable poll tax we have tolerated for far too long.
Of course, that is not the only reason Harris did not have enough votes cast for her, but it is a substantial reason. I have no doubt that analysis over the coming days will demonstrate that lower turnout in populous Democratic counties played a role.
That was just the icing on the cake of the massive social problem created by more than four decades of a multi-billion dollar far right propaganda think tank and media noise machine, the effects of which have been accelerated by algorithm curated content that foments hate and rage that is, by any analysis, brainwashing. They think we are "nuts" because they assume "everybody knows" what they are seeing in their feeds.

The Wizard
(12,998 posts)There was widespread voter fraud via mail in ballots. I got a notice from the county clerk thanking someone who doesn't live here for their mail in ballot. That person hasn't lived her for more than 30 years. The mail in ballot was not delivered here, yet their vote was counted.
I have received mail for that person from right wing sites.
Keep in mind who appointed a very controversial Postmaster General.
I doubt this is an isolated incident.

But real news will soon be a thing,of the past.
