It is not now nor was it ever remotely true that Harris received 0 votes in a NY county like the Title of the thread you linked to claaimed.

Also, there's no question that suppression cost Harris votes. But there is no evidence for such a precise number as Palast claims. And of course, even if she ended up with 20 million more votes than Trump, it would all be irrelevant if she didn't have enough to win in enough states to win the electoral vote. So the idea that she would have topped Trump's total by 1.2 million votes is totally irrellevant. Hillary Clinton got almost 3 million more votes than Trump but she didn't win so who cares how many more votes Harris could have gotten than Trump. Palast is simply a grifter trying to take advantage of the gullible.

But I Googled the Election Assistant Commission and there really is widespread rejection of ballots. I know here in PA there was a fight over rejecting mail ins because the outer envelope didn't have a date on its, which is not a good reason to reject a vote. I found out they reject lots of mail in over signature mismatches. The people who count votes aren't signature experts and I doubt that any of the rejected votes were fraudulent. They say they refuse lots of provisional ballots too.

I wish we could do something to stop this. Did it change the outcome this time? I'd have to look more but I think is possible.

If you're going to make such claims, you need to be able to SHOW the evidence supporting it. Just making the claims proves nothing. I have yet to see where he (or anyone else) has shown any evidence supporting his claims.
