Trump and Republicans claimed Dominion cheated them because they knew ES&S was cheating for them so if Democrats won, they must be doing the same things:


Interesting read. Basically this person uncovered some very fucky trends in KY and SC. The sudden differences in down-ballot votes are striking.

This needs to be fully investigated, now.

Well, here's one theory providing an alternative explanation for why there is a difference in down ballot voting between paper and electronic ballots. Because the machines prompt you for each issue to vote on, and you then have to click past each to get to the next one, and so on, until you're done. By contrast, with a paper ballot, you can just vote for POTUS on page 1, then not even bother reading the rest of it.

Also, 2014 was a midterm year. 2020 was a POTUS year, and one with an unusually high turnout on both sides. Which makes it a lot less mysterious that Graham doubled his vote.

I'd be careful about putting too much credence in things like this as it may cut both ways. Perhaps some sort of investigation is in order but until that happens I wouldn't put much stock in it.

Yes, it should be taken with a grain of salt at this point. The first step would be to verify if these figures are even correct.

Yes, by all means, but even if the numbers are verified, they don't prove much on their own. This is all too similar to these accusations on the right, where they notice that in a specific county, say 62% voted D last time, but this time it was 91%, so there must be some shenanigans. We must avoid the fallacy of picking through results to look for "things that make you go hmm" and reading too much into it or all the sudden we have both sides undermining democracy in the exact same way.

Have to ask: what happened to you?

You used to be... well, not liberal, but someone who generally recognized that Republicans were more problematic than Democrats and voted accordingly. Now, you're just parroting conservative talking points without a trace of irony. Hinting at support for unwarranted sedition is a new low.

He hasn't changed at all. That "used to be" was just a right-wing troll act.

He got a new boss at work that is a minority woman and she started telling him to stop fucking off and actually work.

You CAN question them, IF you have proof. Something the GOP surprisingly keeps lacking. I seem to remember Trump and others were going to reveal the evidence they had. I wonder what happened...to that lie.
Remember when Sidney Powell was going to release "biblical" evidence on Dominon machines in GA?. That talking bag of dog vomt had JACK-SHIT for evidence.The only thing "biblical" is the size of the lawsuit filed against her.
