Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

My thoughts, and I would really, really love for someone to offer me a sliver of hope.
- They only have to pick a few counties with surprising results and audit those to figure out if there's a widespread problem worth a more extensive recount, right? I realize that's still far more work than I probably realize, but I feel like it would be a good litmus test for "there is something here" or "there is not, sorry folks."
- Anyone have any faith at all that Dems will pursue the actual possibility of fraud with a fraction of the verve that Republicans have pursued fictitious voter fraud?
- I've been silently praying that on November 6th someone in Kamala's circle had already thought of my first bullet point above, that this is already in progress, and they won't talk about it until they are done, but also see my second bullet point. 😁
My hope died when she conceded. It's the same thing that happened in 2016...there were a bunch of counties that we way off their polls. The D's didn't care and let us slide.
My tinfoil hat says it's just too profitable for the D's to have Trump in office. They don't have to accomplish anything, publicly wring their hands loudly, and the donations pour in.
Something certainly feels off and when looking at the data, it's seems to throw some red flags. I'm going to toss these here because trying to rehash everything on this thread isn't helpful.

Feel like I'm being a conspiracy theorist here, but I feel it's better to at least say something or draw attention to it. Since I do data analytics, I'll be running the numbers myself if I can.
So a couple of points:
"could even develop malware designed to be installed with minimal physical access to the voting equipment by unskilled accomplices to manipulate the vote counts. Attacks could also be launched by compromising the vendors responsible for programming systems before elections, enabling large-scale distribution of malware."
-
This is not the bullshit theory of "ZOMG! They were connected to Starlink! Elon Musk! Elon Musk!"
-
There is no such thing as "security" if someone has physical access to the device.
I completely agree, but it doesn't matter unless someone does something about it.
Brings to mind the whole pagers thing.
All it would take is one hand recount with a difference of a few percentage points to really kick off a movement to confirm there weren't issues. It's does still seem so far there are unaccounted for votes still, but haven't seen any definitive complaints about changed or altered votes.
Some contests were won by 100k votes that's worth a recount to me.
Hopefully this is what gets him /s
"here's how Bernie could still win"
Trump prooved laws don't matter if your following is violent enough. Bernie can still win, I have an idea . . .
he could still win. here's how:
