Ok Smart Ass. Even using your numbers above, there are still 5 million unaccounted for voters from 2020 in 2024.
With 99% of the vote counted. Harris has received fully 7,500,000 votes less than Biden- 73,700 mil to 81,200 mil. Trump has received 2,000,000 more than 2020.
With an “Existential Election” to save Democracy, in a clear panic mode, where did those missing 5,000,000 votes go? 2,000,000 more Moderates went to Trump, obviously. But….
It’s like those other 5,000,000 voters in 2020 never existed.
I rest my case.

lol yeah ok case closed since you say it is. There will probably be another 1.5 to 2 million more ballots to be counted. A difference of maybe 3 million short of 2020. With how horrible the dem candidate was, and how many people are disgusted by Trump, that's not a surprise.


Your speculative nonsense makes as much sense as democrats saying trump stole the election this time around because “where did all those votes go” amirite Mor?


Just maybe the numbers are what they are. I know that blows your mind since you can’t see past your bias, but maybe try.

Your “speculative bullshit” and constant fighting and demeaning almost allother posters on this site is a an amazing accomplishment. You should be really proud of yourself for making this place objectively worse since being on here.
No matter what the number is, 3,4, 5 million “votes” short for the Democratic candidate in an allegedly country changing election, is significant, and questionable when compared to 2020. No matter what crap you try to sell.
Self reflection is your friend. Try it.
Better yet. Leave since you won’t even pay your $12.50 to support.

You’re the biggest condescending prick on here. So pot meet kettle. There were 138 million that voted in 16, so riddle me this dumbass, is it possible maybe more people voted in 20 and maybe not as many in 24 (maybe because of people like xuphan who weren’t going to vote for either shit candidate) or does that not fit your stupid narrative? How many voters are independent in our country that regularly vote? How many voted in this election? How many voted for Biden in 2020, and then sat this one out because they don't like either candidate? You have no clue. You just regurgitate Fox News talking points because you're too stupid to think for yourself.

You think of me that way because I’m the only one calling out your complete bullshit, with zero actual facts to support your bias.

I’m not “selling” anything, you’re trying to sell baloney because I guess you’re an election denier. Congratulations on being ignorant.

I was just in Italy. Plenty of restaurants have GF options, the number reducing the farther you get from a city center. That said, deep in Tuscany there were still GF options to be found.

Now Germany, my old neighbors laughed at my wife a bit about it. GF and celiac just is not a thing.

We are in agreement our food supply needs to dramatically change. I sincerely hope RFK focuses on the amount of corn syrup in everything more than anything else, but that is problematic as we chose to subsidize corn. Germans, however, subsidize butter among other things. A giant bit of butter costs around 1.20 Euros in Bavaria.

Edit: my point was at least part of the increase in autism is attributed to a better understanding on how to identify it. What was once labeled social awkwardness could be level 1 autism. I am very familiar with what encompasses level 1/2/3 autism.

Yeah absolutely. What I meant (and this is more anecdotal I admit) is that my wife has a pretty big gluten allergy here in the states, she ingests a bite of it, and its a disaster. but when we have gone to Europe, we were told beforehand that she shouldn't have an issue. My italian cousins reinforced that notion, and so she thought what the hell give it a try. And, she never had an issue. Shes not celiac so it may not be the case for everyone, but she had zero digestive issues even after all the plates of pasta from restaurants and italian side of my family who feed us in their home.

How is it that Harris received 71 million votes in an “Existential Crisis” election- fully 10 million LESS than Joe Biden “allegedly” received?
Meanwhile Trump received almost exactly the same amount as 2020, and will win the Popular Vote?
I’ll let you figure out what that might mean.

Let me remind you of your post filled with your facts. The only thing in this post that’s factually correct is trump wins the popular vote, yet you tried to pass off your numbers as so without waiting to let things play out. Since then, trump has surpassed his numbers by a pretty big margin, and Kamala has added about 3 mil. I doubt it, but maybe next time you take a wait and see approach.

Did it ever occur to you that you should think before commenting? In 2022 1/4 of Penn ballots were mail-in.
This year it could be 20%. That's not "a fraction."
And you evade the obvious...why do the Republicans there block the processing of them before election day?

Guess I'll mark you down as supporting made up stuff.

Did ever occur to you that you should think, period? First, 20% (otherwise known as 1/5) is indeed a fraction.

Getting past that gem, I'll ask you, if Florida can count over 10 million and 99% of their ballots on election night, why does it take weeks for these other crooked states? And I didn't evade your other point, I ignored it because it's irrelevant. I have no idea why R's block processing ballots before election day. But why does it matter? It shouldn't (and I'll confidently say doesn't) take weeks to count a fraction of the ballots unless you're committing fraud.

Paul you never answered my original question: do you agree or disagree that forensic audits and harsh punishment for fraud would eliminate fraud? And the small cost of this relative to the value of maintaining the sanctity of our election process is well worthwhile?

If you agree, I'll remove you from my Voter Fraud Supporter list.

What are you even saying? Do you know how flippant that is?

They spouted garbage about that company being involved in rampant fraud in the millions of votes, it was all correct, they could prove it was correct, then went ahead and wrote a check a few ticks south of 800 MILLION FREAKING dollars.

That is literally what you believe.

You're going to need to keep up. My statement had absolutely nothing to do with Dominion, but thanks for playing.

Gaetz has you fooled he actually gives an f about you. He wants what everyone in government wants, power.

He fucked a 17 year old. Even if it was consensual, to just brush that off as no big deal is really effed up

The fact that you are denying due process is "really effed up". Did he actually have sex with a 17-year old? If so, did he know she wasn't 17? You don't know. I believe in due process and also believe there is a higher chance that this situation may be fabricated given his propensity to, we'll say, disrupt other politicians' grift.

If proven in the court of law that he engaged in sex with a minor, then he should hold no office ever again, and be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

So, I didn't brush anything off, you dickhead.

Ha! Thanks for the laugh. Due process that’s hysterical. Do you only believe in due process when it involves your kind of guy?

You have no issue spouting off election denier stories with zero facts over and over and over again after court case after court case exhibited that there was no case. But yeah that’s because everyone is just trying to screw trump, amirite? again speculative nonsense.

Speaking of grift, have any idea whose family he’s married to? I doubt it.

Due process, you’re a funny man.a fan of a guy who spouts theories with zero facts, but calling for due process in this case. Hilarious

The house ethics committee looks like it’s not going to release its report. Gee I wonder why? Could it be that daddy in law made a few calls?
