In December 2020. They used the same BMDs in AZ and PA that she stole from Coffee County, GA. Despite the 60 minute segment, that said these machines are never online, those who know say there are moments they are and one expert from UC Berkeley said this allows them to hack these machines and not be detectable or traceable. Furthermore, the big screens on the Dominion machines in Georgia show what a person voted for, but the actual vote is embedded in the QR code.

Part of the beauty about the diffused system of states (and even counties and precincts) is it'd be next to impossible to rig. If you think it was rigged for Trump in 2016 and 2024, why not do so in 2020? Or even the House elections of '18, 22...the Special elections, etc. (where it'd be significantly easier).

It's hard to accept Trump won, but he did.

In this situation it'd be more like 50/50 (or worse) given all the other elections the GOP has lost since Trump came on the scene. But yes, I get your point from one respect.

However it'd be infinitely easier to steal a special election than a national election with thousands of different precincts. Musk was invoked in the original post - he lost hugely in the state supreme court race he was trying to buy last year. Once more, that would have been much, much easier to rig than a national election if he was really going in and changing vote totals somehow.

If too many votes have to be moved it tends to show up in “impossible numbers “ or more votes than voters or a huge undervote

When activists find them in a general election there are too many to track down the reason, when it’s a single state it’s easier to find the source of the false results

If you're changing things electronically - which is how people usually suggest it happened - it'd be much easier to do on a small scale.

Changing things everywhere would have all sorts of avenues to explore. To use any sort of criminal enterprise as an example, it's actually rather easy to commit one crime and get away with it. But when someone keeps committing them they tend to make a mistake somewhere. That's why when law enforcement finally catch bank robbers or people that hold op gas stations, or serial killers - they usually figure out there are all sorts of prior crimes they committed when they finally get them on their seventh.

Ugh! Always the same ones.

So, in that same category, I'll post my usual response. That is:

I don't know what in the hell happened and I can't prove that Trump stole the election(s), but I have lived my life listening to my gut, and been right most of the time doing that. My gut tells me that SOMETHING happened.

Just because I can't prove it happened does not mean that it didn't happen. There was something not right about 2016, and there was something not right about 2024. Trump made too many comments that showed he KNEW he was going to win. He can't keep a secret. He has to brag, and he bragged about it several times. People blow it off because he never makes any sense. But there's a pattern to his behavior. He loves to let little things slip and then feel superior because he thinks he is party to some secret that most other people don't get to know. It's all a game to him.

So, flame away all you want with your facts and data and research. My gut doesn't care.

47. Theil and Epstein worked to screw Hillary in 2016. She like Harris 2024 got a big # of "undervotes."

An undervote is when somebody votes but skips voting for a candidate.

So did the 2 Democrats running for Senator from Ohio in 2022 and 2024 get an “undervote” too.

The Republicans haven’t won a legitimate Presidential election since in 1956 without cheating or
being the legacy of that cheating.

67. Math and percentages don't lie
Thu May 14, 2026, 04:43 PM

It is almost impossible for trump to have won all seven of the swing states with about the same percentages of votes, just a little more than would have required a run-off count. Most people I know who are good with mathematics felt the same way. Trump has admitted that he had help with this last election, praising Musk for his computer expertise and also remember Musk's son told trump to his face on live TV that he really wasn't the president. There was a post on this site yesterday that explained some of it, an ex-CIA whistleblower. Please read it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_presidential_election
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election

In 2020, President Biden got 306 electoral college votes - 37 more than 269, the 50% point of the college. The states that put him over the top and were closest in percentage terms were:
Georgia: 49.47% - 49.24% = 0.23% difference (16 EC votes)
Arizona: 49.36% - 49.06% = 0.3% difference (11 EC votes) (0.31% in the far right Wikipedia column - rounding differences)
Wisconsin: 49.45% - 48.82% = 0.63% difference (10 EC votes)

In 2024, Trump got 312 EC votes. The states that put him over the top and were closest in percentage terms were:
Wisconsin: 49.6% - 48.74% = 0.86% (10 EC votes)
Michigan: 49.73% - 48.31% = 1.42% (15 EC votes)
Pennsylvania: 50.37% - 48.66% = 1.71% (19 EC votes)

So the crucial states in 2024 varied a fair bit. You mention winning all seven swing states, so I presume you're also including
Georgia: 2.19% difference
Nevada: 3.1% difference
North Carolina: 3.21% difference
Arizona: 5.53% difference

(the next 4 states in 2020 were differences of 1.16%, 2.39%, 2.78% and 7.12% (7.11% in far right column), for comparison)

5.53% is not "about the same" as 0.86%. Trump's margins in the crucial states were a little larger than President Biden's.

What do the people good with mathematics say about the difference between 2020 and 2024? I hope they had an argument, rather than just "feeling".

34. The numbers tell a story of manipulated vote-counting computers (tabulators)
Thu May 14, 2026, 11:19 AM
May 14

The results of the 2024 election show the same story in many states across the country, not just swing states. The higher the percentage of voters, the more votes for Trump. This is not the way humans vote. This is the way computers (tabulators) manipulate the vote. The mail-in votes were not touched because they are sent directly to the county. The in-person vote totals were changed on the tabulators when the precincts sent the totals to the county via cellular modems. This is why Trump wants to eliminate mail-in voting. How can he win if he can't manipulate the vote? See ElectionTruthAlliance.org

…. #s in order to hit a target. Having a fair election and counting the votes honestly are of little

Thiel’s Palantir was reported to have been running their “clean up program” called digital janitor
that didn’t flip or delete votes but hid that it happened.

I can't see a pattern of "The higher the percentage of voters, the more votes for Trump" there. Many close states get high turnouts; that's because voters there think there's a real chance their vote makes a difference, so more bother. But in the highest turnout states, there are ones Kamala Harris own, like Minnesota and Maine.

And Trump stealing the 2024 election (both while the other side controlled the White House) are two sides of the same coin; i.e., baseless conspiracy theories with no factual support.

But, guess what, Trump is in the White House and Biden was sworn in in 2021.

64. Musk somehow had the election results four hours before they were posted (mentioned on the Joe Rogan show).
Thu May 14, 2026, 03:50 PM
May 14

Election authorities do not provide results to citizens (regardless of how rich) in advance of posting them on their respective pages. My guess is that Musk and/or the Russians had an algorithm downloaded on machines that used cellular connections (all ES&S machines) to guaranteed the result (the data looks suspect in lots of places, where there were lots of over-votes for Trump and under-votes for Harris).

Trump was constantly harping on about stolen elections the entire time out of office. He effectively inoculated himself against any serious investigation or charges about election tampering. We know from the Muller Report that the Russians interfered in the 2016 election and were inside state vote tabulators all over the place. Somehow these Russian intrusions were said to have occurred without any impact in 2016. However, it would easy for the Russians to have installed a back door or dormant software program in 2016 that allowed for manipulation at a future date (assuming it was not over-written by a new software program or patch).

The swing states are largely correlated. Biden won all or (depending on how you define it) most of them in 2020. Same thing with Trump in 2016. I mean, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, and Georgia all went the same way the last 3 presidential elections.

For this to be true, one must necessarily believe that the entire Democratic Party, from Joe Biden on down, was either too stupid or too cowardly to do anything about it. One must necessarily believe that Kamala Harris herself was too stupid or too cowardly to do anything about it. That after warning the nation that Trump is a deadly danger to our democracy they meekly stood aside and did absolutely nothing about it.

I simply can't believe that of them. And not one election conspiracy theorist has ever responded to this point, which seems telling to me.

This is nothing more than the same nonsense Trump supporters spouted after the 2020 election, just with the party affiliations and names changed. It's the same conspiracy theory nonsense without a shred of proof to back it up because if there was actual, legitimate truth to any of it Biden and Harris would have done something with it to challenge the results. But they didn't, so the logical conclusion is that there is no such proof since it hasn't been forthcoming and they never acted to challenge the results of the election.

I get that this timeline sucks and we all wish Harris had won but wishful thinking is not helpful, nor is denying reality because of nebulous "gut feelings that something happened". Feelings don't override facts nor do they override the lack of same.
