Why didn't they fix the Lake/Gallego race in AZ? BannonsLiver Nov 5 #58
Because they had facts this time they didn't have last time. Bernardo de La Paz Thursday #84
Agreed. It was a real confluence of bad stuff Hekate Nov 5 #3
I agree, just like there was in 2020 obamanut2012 Nov 5 #4
And we know they tried. Chemical Bill Nov 5 #65
Here's some data Richluu Nov 5 #6
not really data, but a complicated theory... and if Musk had this magic control LymphocyteLover Friday #148
Honestly I'd point fingers at Texas and Florida for starters. Initech Nov 5 #7

That was always obvious. ananda Nov 5 #10
Absolutely Chemical Bill Nov 5 #11
But they just forgot to steal a single race this time? tritsofme Nov 5 #12
It would be hard to cover up in elections of this nature IMHO. n/t rzemanfl Nov 5 #15
Polls showed a close election in New Jersey, Virginia AG race too. Why not steal one? tritsofme Nov 5 #17
Out of 50 states, how many had elections yesterday? rzemanfl Nov 5 #25
33 states had elections yesterday. Wiz Imp Nov 5 #32
Many. There were a lot of local elections. yellow dahlia Nov 5 #33
Why are you asking Democrats? Chemical Bill Nov 5 #30
I'm just asking folks choosing to push ridiculous Trump-style conspiracy theories. tritsofme Nov 5 #36
Yeah, Chemical Bill Nov 5 #66
There were no national elections. hurple Nov 5 #20
So they can steal the presidency but not a Virginia AG race? Pretty lousy supervillains. tritsofme Nov 5 #22
I know, right? It's clear that it's not just MAGAs who are capable of convincing themselves Wiz Imp Nov 5 #27
What's in it for the supervillains to have the AG of Virginia in their camp? rzemanfl Nov 5 #29
The focus on Republicans being massively unpopular losers isn't exactly good for business. tritsofme Nov 5 #35
A Republican AG n Virginia could effectively block a lot of progressive legislation which Wiz Imp Nov 5 #49
I think you are giving this Republican AG magical powers. rzemanfl Nov 5 #71
Yes. That is my theory. yellow dahlia Nov 5 #34
eLoon got what he wanted, no need to help this time ecstatic Thursday #82
Not close enough tintinvotes Thursday #85
Sounds like many have adopted Trump's axiom as their own, that elections are only legitimate when I win. tritsofme Thursday #86
Not worth the risk of detection; plus maintain illusion of democracy. Possible. Nt lostnfound Thursday #122
It's being discussed here, in a public forum. Why would detection be a concern in your conspiracy theory? tritsofme Thursday #125

The judge's ruling in the Rockland County 2024 election fraud case is due before 11/11. in2herbs Nov 5 #13
Mine too, for a different reason. The more it looks like the US is turning on the WH and GOP, the more wiggs Nov 5 #16
Yes Blue_Roses Nov 5 #18
Yep. It was stolen by the muskrat... MaeScott Nov 5 #23
Then why didn't those same people "fuck around with the vote" this year? Wiz Imp Nov 5 #24
How do you know they didn't? Chemical Bill Nov 5 #31
OMG. I can't believe I'm reading such nonsense here. Wiz Imp Nov 5 #44
It's just difficult for me to accept that folks can be that plain stupid. tritsofme Nov 5 #55
I think it comes from people who can't wrap their heads around how much the country had soured on incumbents last year. BannonsLiver Nov 5 #59
there is also a basic inability (unwillingness) for people to admit stopdiggin Thursday #102
Proof of a declaration is immaterial? Chemical Bill Nov 5 #62
Yes. Virtually any declaration issuing forth from THIS individual stopdiggin Thursday #97
It is more difficult to pull off in the off-year and smaller elections, and special elections. yellow dahlia Nov 5 #41
No. Absolutely not. PoindexterOglethorpe Nov 5 #26
Voting machines were compromised. Blue Full Moon Nov 5 #48

I'm with you. A lot! yellow dahlia Nov 5 #28
So elections are only rigged when Democrats lose? Wiz Imp Nov 5 #46
I don't think Dems cheat. And, Trump ALWAYS cheats Joinfortmill Thursday #106
Right. You could begin every sentence with Trump always cheats. yellow dahlia Friday #142
Agree Blue Full Moon Nov 5 #37
I'm persuaded by Greg Palast's work: markodochartaigh Nov 5 #38
Or it could be that voters in these states got a wake up call over the last few months fujiyamasan Nov 5 #39
I was thinking the same goddamned thing Blue Owl Nov 5 #43
Is this being reported by the media? NoNameGranny Nov 5 #45
People where just angry at Trump/ICE/Gop's bs SunImp Nov 5 #47
It's worth pointing out again that 2024 election denialism is actually a vicious attack on Kamala Harris and the entire tritsofme Nov 5 #51

Harris won. End of story. Botany Nov 5 #57
There definitely were massive voter suppression efforts, massive propaganda operations LymphocyteLover Nov 5 #61
The vote flipping and deletions was done not at the precinct levels of which you are right would be unwork-... Botany Nov 5 #70
you don't think anyone in the secretary of Dem state offices of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania LymphocyteLover Nov 5 #74
Good questions, Botany Thursday #91
couldn't that surge just be actual voters (since more Repubs tend to vote on election day)? LymphocyteLover Friday #132
A large surge of red voters from a large strongly blue voting population @ the last minute? Please. Botany Friday #134
All the obvious anecdotes match up to all the simple math. yellow dahlia Friday #143
A simple bell shaped curve for statical analysis will easily show causality behind the election results. Botany Saturday #150
There you go! Seems simple when you look at the mathematical models. yellow dahlia Saturday #152
please provide a specific example of that kind of red surge in a blue area LymphocyteLover Friday #147
You think someone from the sos office at the state level looks at every precinct result to see if it matches? questionseverything Thursday #120
No, but wouldn't someone at the county level do that? Or are they in on the plot? LymphocyteLover Friday #131
I sorry. But it NEVER happened. stopdiggin Thursday #98

I'm sorry - but it NEVER happened. And your twitchy 'senses' are leading you astray. stopdiggin Thursday #99

Yes. "They" use Russian-type psy-ops to convince people not to question elections, yellow dahlia Friday #144
Don't worry. Most of us realize that this is in NO way an attack on Dems. yellow dahlia Thursday #121
It is absolutely a vicious attack on Democrats. You must believe truly terrible things about Kamala Harris and Democrats tritsofme Friday #133
The problem is the premise is flawed fujiyamasan Friday #145
Interestingly... Chemical Bill Friday #146
