Part of musks "outreach" plan was reaching low propensity voters and telling them essentially "don't worry about the ballot if you dont know who else to vote for, the most important thing is voting for Trump."
That's why we saw a lot of "bullet ballots."
There were also a lot of idiots who voted for Trump and their local Democrat. AOC had this happen when talking with her constituents. She said their response was "you're both (seemingly) authentic, Trump and you are real where everyone else in Washington are fake, greedy, lying politicians."
There really are just a metric fuckton of idiots out there that don't pay enough attention.
I don't like Trump's weird remarks about Elon knowing voting machines, but I really don't think they rigged this election by that method.
Voters are so desperate for authenticity, they're willing to vote for an authentic piece of shit like Trump. Fuck.
