I agree. While the main article is goes deep into obscure (albeit interesting) machinations, your article is very on point. It starts with

if you’re expecting a sexy story about Elon Musk messing with vote-counting software from outer space, sorry, you won’t get that here.

And then lays down the numbers:

— 4,776,706 voters were wrongly purged from voter rolls according to US Elections Assistance Commission data.

— By August of 2024, for the first time since 1946, self-proclaimed “vigilante” voter-fraud hunters challenged the rights of 317,886 voters. The NAACP of Georgia estimates that by Election Day, the challenges exceeded 200,000 in Georgia alone.

— No fewer than 2,121,000 mail-in ballots were disqualified for minor clerical errors (e.g. postage due).

— At least 585,000 ballots cast in-precinct were also disqualified.

— 1,216,000 “provisional” ballots were rejected, not counted.

— 3.24 million new registrations were rejected or not entered on the rolls in time to vote.

It continues listing concrete things people can directly influence. I liked the article, thank you soo much. Very insightful.

The numbers feel too coincidental and so a theory like space-based voting machine fraud doesn't seem as outlandish as it should. At the same time, it attributes to these people a level of finesse and planning that I just don't see from them.

The brute force "suppress votes and lie constantly" is much more Trump's style. It's basically his whole brand.

Hitler was a moron, that doesn't mean the Nazis didn't have any clever engineers.

[-] Jason2357@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

That argument is straightforward and clear and should be spread more widely than it is.

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

How is this relevant? Not only you have a king now, but he wasn't elected by popular vote anyways, he was elected by the electoral college, who aren't bound to follow the popular vote.

[-] match@pawb.social 3 points 2 days ago

The relevance is that when he is overthrown, the history books will have more justifications as to why

[-] Chakravanti@monero.town -1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

No. He wasn't. Computer cracker rewrote the software that the computers followed with blatant lies.

Event that shit that you think counts otherwise, is not in any relevancy upon any "if" to any result that was a product of a completely fucking obvious fraud.

You either know you're a CIA asset, or you think you got some gorram nonsense lack of logic denial of what is not difficult to see if you stop picking up other people's literal shit, wiping it on your face with open eyes, and think that that thing that you keep mentioning is anything other than a trick you chose to accept in exchange for what they told you life was and you didn't ask any real questions or even bother to decode the not-paper or read any of the books explaining everything about what that means.

They erased the gold relevancy and waited another full gen before people forgot how real life worked before they accepted the sigil and let go what life is.

Y'all say these things sometimes that make one think you just wander around in a nihilistic haze of submission and defeatism.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

There were a few offhand things Trump said before the election that sure sounded like he was letting slip that the election was rigged - but at the time I chalked them up to his usual overconfident bullshit. Some guy made a video a few months ago highlighting some of the statistical anomalies shown in the article. I thought he made a very persuasive case for vote manipulation but lacked technical evidence. Now that's coming out as well. I sure hope this plays out like it should. All it takes is one senator to formally challenge the legitimacy of the election and start an investigation.

[-] crumbguzzler5000@feddit.org 49 points 3 days ago

The article makes a great point that there are just too many coincidences in all of this, the theories behind the tech also seem quite sound.

The flipping of swing states on election day but not flipping enough to trigger a recount, so suspicious how a criminal president could be so popular. Especially when many people knew what was at stake, project 2025 had been vocalized a lot.

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 18 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I think a big part of the whole picture could also be why in gods name did the Democrats concede before the day even ended?

[-] PancakesCantKillMe@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

My mind went right to the DNC leaders being complicit. Maybe they were shown a window or pictures of their children or they are just shitty people.

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yeah i don't know. But they sure went back to thier mansions real quick and stayed out of the picture.

[-] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 60 points 4 days ago
[-] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 27 points 4 days ago

Yeah, I don't see what they're hoping to accomplish with this. The pool has been poisoned for years by baseless claims from the far right about election rigging. No amount of evidence is going to change those peoples' minds, and for the others, you're preaching to the choir.

[-] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 19 points 4 days ago

Even from a legal standpoint, Trump won the election. Good luck uncertifying electoral reviews⸮

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

E-voting across the US has been a continuous attack vector of covert election fraud for over 2 decades, and in all that time nothing was done to harden them to any legitimate degree.

The oligarchy wanted Trump, and they've been subverting democracy longer than all of us have been alive. The SC was already used to steal the presidential election for Bush ffs.

[-] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 4 points 3 days ago

That's not something you will ever solve on FPtPVoting anyways🤷‍♀️

These kind of conspiracy theories downplay how much of a piece of shit Nation we have become and how selfish the populace voted.

With the Dominion voting lawsuit in place as precedent, whomever is gonna make these election claims better have an airtight fucking defense.

[-] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 days ago

It would almost be suspicious if they didn't sue with such a big case to back them up

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 24 points 3 days ago

Not only did she win, but Trump was never real; he was a figment of everyone's imagination and was never even running.

They pulled the wool over our eyes while we were looking the whole time

[-] urno@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago

Momentum is building on this one.

Either people looking into this are going to be “discouraged” or more evidence will be examined and a consensus will arrive.

Not saying which way. IMO the rhetoric of Trump prior to the election was basically a confession and I’ve no doubt the election was interfered with. Without any evidence, that is :|

[-] Chakravanti@monero.town 12 points 4 days ago

That wasn't confession, 53min into that "inauguration" speech, that was bragging.

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 26 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

[Elon] launched his bid for Twitter [...] just 49 days after Putin invaded Ukraine. That alone should have raised every red flag. [emphasis theirs]

Why?

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 26 points 4 days ago
[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 21 points 3 days ago

Barbie was released to American audiences a mere 512 days after Putin invaded Ukraine. They have played us for absolute fools.

[-] shath@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago

came to me in a dream

[-] huf@hexbear.net 19 points 3 days ago

it's also pretty suspicious that putin started his FULL SCALE INVASION of ukraine exactly 638 years after King Charles III of Naples and Hungary was assassinated in Buda.

[-] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 20 points 4 days ago
[-] deaf_fish@midwest.social 6 points 3 days ago

It was weak and impotent when the Republicans did it. So I guess the Democrats feel left out.
