Summary

There have been concerns about alleged irregularities and claims of a “rigged” 2024 election favoring Trump. Data analysis of drop-off votes in swing states raised questions about vote manipulation.

    Look, we all know that Republicans are all about projection, if nothing else.

    Trump has been singularly focused on election fraud for 5 years now, and has been essentially bragging about stealing the election with Musk since before the actual election. I full well believe there is a path to being able to ballot stuff with enough preparation in the way they seem to be insinuating, and they had enough psycho followers to pull it off. You don’t need to hack the machines, and you don’t need to destroy votes. You simply need a LOT of voter information, and time to prepare. Musk had both. There was also that bit of election fraud perpetrated by Trump’s team where they stole election equipment and hardware keys in 2020, so they’ve had time to work that angle as well.

    I’m not saying there is proof, but between the discrepancies in data coming out, the shenanigans on voting day from Trump supporters, and the…type…of person who would have been involved in such a thing, it’s well within the realm of possibility. No reason to not bring it up if there are concerns.

    If it did happen, these types of people will have left a trail and some loose ends. My specific concern here is that the GOP is so god damned transparent, that if they did pull this off, they will fight to keep election equipment the same as last election, and it will happen again and again until it’s found out…if it did happen.
