    Margins were small in states. only a few thousand.

    That doesn't matter, a country is either capable of having fair elections or not.
    Trump has taken numerous cases in several states to court with no success.

    You are saying the courts are either incompetent or complicit in fraud.

    That is frankly nonsensical at this stage.

    Sorry, but if you believe that at this stage, you're deluded. You've been conned. You're feeding your head with nonsense from dodgy sources. Your ability to separate fact from fiction has been seriously compromised.


    And this is the problem in a nutshell. A huge swathe of the American population has been convinced by people like Trump, Giuliani, Cruz, Hawley, Fox, Oann, Newsmax, Limbaugh and thousands more liars that the election was stolen. They've been conned. Their heads have been filled with nonsense and now they live in another reality, unable to tell what's real and what's not.


    These people need serious help but I've no idea how one goes about that.
    It doesn't seem complicated, all they have to do is open their minds to learning about the law and civics and why things are set up the way they are in the constitution. I moved to the us a couple of years back and I'm still learning this. You can learn to trust the system by learning about it.

    This is utter garbage. There was no evidence of fraud..the ballots in Georgia were audited.

    You're absolutely incorrect in your conspiracy theories.
    A van with Biden/Harris plastered on the side pulled up at a count centre with a load of dodgy ballot slips!!!

    How much more evidence do you need????

    Savages. The guy doing the middle finger takes his helmet off and wears it himself.

    Even from a distance this is horrific. Savages is right.

    Yesterday someone here was pretending they thought he died of essentially natural causes.

    Evidence was produced in the form of witnesses, the hard evidence was in looking at the ballots, but NONE were looked at.

    We only had stories, and this was not enough in a court of law. A girl can be raped, but without hard evidence it's just a story, doesn't mean she's lying.
    Counting the same ballots over and over won't show what the witnesses claim was going on. I would have loved for TRUMP to be proved wrong, but NO WAY was he getting access to these ballots to audit them, NO WAY.
    That's so strange, they should have been happy to prove him wrong.


    In primaries 600,000 ballots were thrown out, in election, none? come on.

    This is exactly why it’s a complete and utter waste of time even discussing anything with Trump supporters..

    Trump himself pretty much summed this up...he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and he’d still get voted for..

    Kind of reminds me of these sick women who become infatuated with evil serial killers in prison and want to wed them.

    Subtle. No wonder they got away with it. Where is your evidence for that happening?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,705 ✭✭✭The Inbetween is mine


    It's a fact that those using mail in ballots for the first time make mistakes on the ballots that make them void , the percent is 14%... not sure. But it's out there, not possible for them all to be valid. The counters correcting ballots is not lawful, if it's void it's void.

    It's not a fact..it's actually complete lies and not even the republicans could dispute it

    ''
    An extraordinarily high number of ballots — more than 550,000 — have been rejected in this year's presidential primaries, according to a new analysis

    That's far more than in the 2016 general election and has raised alarms about what might happen in November when tens of millions of more voters are expected to cast their ballots by mail, many for the first time.''


    In Georgia 12k was thrown out in primaries, in Election trump lost Georgia by 11k, but there was far more votes in Presidential Election, so thrown out ballots would be far higher than the 12k in primaries.... in theory .

    This is the mob that posters have been making excuses for?


    They'll claim not to support this but you'll notice that they made sure to downplay, deflect and lie about it. How is that not supporting it?

    The whole method of asking questions, providing no evidence that can stand up to counter questioning and then asking to be proved wrong, is what I would describe as a cluster fallacy

    That requires a desire to learn but as we have seen in the last few years, these people don't what to know, they want to believe.

    Trump won by very slim margins in 2016 in a number of states. Was that fraud too???

    You know the spiel ... There was only fraud in states Trump didn't win ... In 2016 he claimed 3 million votes were fraudulent ... There were Trumpists who were going to investigate this thoroughly ... And surprise surprise .. Never heard of these eejits again...

    Hillary explained it perfectly in one of the debates

    Oh stop it.

    They pushed and fought through multiple barricade lines, smashed through doors, got up to the second floor of the DNC wing and were meters away from the Speakers chamber where lawmakers were huddling and then, there, lethal force was deployed, finally.

    Yes, and of course, compound that with all the hero-worship of the rebel, and it is the perfect recipe for a disastrous course. One guy wore a jacket with the mention: "God, Trump and Guns". Multiply that by hundreds of thousands, millions fed the yahoo "Shoot and ask questions later" that Hollywood foists on them, draped in the stars and stripes. Even at close range, viewed from Canada, they are like animals in a zoo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,465 ✭✭✭✭namloc1980



    And do you have the comparable stats for this election?? Or are you just making stuff up that they were all fine?

    You'd need the following:
    • That such a van even existed
    • That it did contain ballot slips
    • That the ballots slips were indeed fraudulent
    • The those ballot slips were counted
    • That there were sufficient ballot slips to swing the result

    So what's the evidence for all of the above?

    It's QAnon/Oath Keeper/Proud Boy bollox. The vast majority of people in the US have accepted that the voting was legit, that Biden is rightfully president and that the Democrats won Georgia. Time for people who support Trump's filthy lies to get on with their lives instead of remaining mired in horsesh1t.

    So ie. Not the 2020 General Election.

    2,011 absentee ballots were rejected in the November 2020 election for missing or non-matching signatures out of 1,322,529 absentee ballots cast. In November 2018, 454 absentee ballots were rejected for missing or non-matching signatures out of 284,393 absentee ballots cast. The 0.15% rejection rate for signature issues was the same in both the 2018 and 2020 General Elections.
