There have only been dozens of audits.. :roll:

Mail in votes were largely for biden and took time to count. trump told his voters NOT to vote by mail, so of course most mail in votes were for biden.

If there were a lot more overseas military votes, that could be because more soldiers were deployed, or simply because way more decided to vote and didn't want trump as their commander in chief - especially after he did stupid s**t to endanger them like reveal locations of soldiers by posting photos of himself with them. Probably weren't fans of his administrations' deal with the taliban, either. etc.

It's not that there was zero fraud, it was that it was an insignificant amount of fraud - about the level you'd typically see. Single digit counts of people sending in votes for recently deceased people etc.

trump lost. Further, he knew in advance he was likely to lose and set in motion multiple plots to try to steal the election for himself. trump and his goons are the ones that committed election fraud via slates of fake electors etc etc etc and that's why they're in deep s**t for it. trump will go down as an orange stain on US history, but the US itself will persevere - hopefully strengthened with new laws in place to keep any future criminal president in better check.

I've never taken the fraud case seriously, but I'm increasingly open to the idea that the level of security state interference makes it somewhat less than legitimate, to say nothing of the media and tech thumbs practically covering the scale.

We need better advocates for holocaust denial, that the moon landings were fake and that dinosaur bones are just a Satanic hoax to fool the non-believers as well.

Fortunately those conspiracy theories do not have the support of a very significant part of American public and the clear front runner for the nomination of one or two major political parties.


Being popular doesn't mean we need to platform advocates for a specific conspiracy theory, it's a good case for why that conspiracy theory needs thoroughly debunked.

They can't be debunked without being platformed in the first place. I wished it had not been massively platformed in the first place but it has so ignoring it is burying one's head in the sand. This is PPR so how can we not discuss an important factor in the upcoming election?

It's fine to discuss election fraud. Mikah's ban was unrelated. The comment that got him banned is currently the fifth post in this thread.
