Back in the B43 election days there was concern over Ohio and FL voting, with GOP friendly tabulating machine owners. Since 2016, GOP complaints about election totals have made DNC say elections are perfect and awesome, even though OH and FL are no longer swing states and still have same voting software. Israel won is all that matters to the politicians, it seems.
If there was interference Elon hired someone to do it. That man is an idiot and there’s no way he engineered it. If there’s interference then there are multiple parties who are aware and the more people you have who know the higher the chance for someone to leak the truth. Fingers crossed?
I doubt there was actual vote-rigging on any serious scale. But it’s hilarious that Trump’s syphilis-riddled brain thinks that’s why he won.
Is it me, or does this seem like a deliberate gaffe to rile up the opposition.
send everyone into a tailspin over a worthless fake "gotcha!’
republican morons can be convinced to do anything if you first convince them that a democrat already did it, so it’s fair game.
The entire time he was lying about the election being stolen, I wondered about this. Democrats were all “election integrity has never been more secure” but I was like, yeah, sure, all those vote counting machines made by private third party companies couldn’t POSSIBLY be tampered with 🙄 (tell that to Bernie Sanders supporters if you want to hear a belly laugh)
drumpf himself voiced that “you won’t have to vote again” and “he already has all the votes he needs” in the run-up to election day. musk was literally buying votes in swing states, and now it can be said that all the information he got while running these blatant vote-buying schemes were probably used to cast votes on behalf of people he knew weren’t going to vote. This is seen in the fact that in those solid drumpf counties, the down ballot republicans didn’t win.
Toward the end of the election cycle, drumpf was phoning it in so hard. Remember when he was at a townhall, took two questions, and then danced on stage for 40 minutes? Remember when his team had to beg him to get back on the campaign trail because he just inexplicably stopped? I optimistically took it for resignation because he faced prison, but it was, in fact, because he already knew the outcome.
Now democrats have put themselves in a mess, because they touted election security like it was some ancient indecipherable machine that couldn’t possibly be interfered with, until now??
So the guy that would have gone to prison for attempting to tamper with election results, gets onstage after barely winning an election, and says “gee, my faithful cock holster sure did a great job tampering with these election results.”
So now what, immediate impeachment, that then fails? Do we wait till after the midterms to impeach? Or will they tamper with more election results to finally and forever usher in their fascist oligarchy?
WHAT A FUCKING JOKE
I loved it when my english teacher gave us a paper to read and it was about how the us couldnt turn into a dictatorship because of “checks and balances”. It compared the us to hungary which is funny because in hungary orbán had to be elected before he could change the constitution while trump changed it before he was even elected 💀(i know technically its a reinterpretation but basically the same).
I remember someone pointing out that the American constitution was the basis for a lot of other countries that were founded in the 1800s following the Enlightenment.
They all fell into a dictatorship.
Orban’s allies bought up the media that opposed him before the elections. Something like that could never happen in the USA…/s
I remember my highschool history teacher warned us that all governments eventually become oligarchies.
The checks and balances are in theory dependent on the legislative and judicial branches being independent from the executive, but in practice they really aren’t. A republican house and senate and a conservative majority in the supreme court means the checks and balances by choice won’t be checking and balancing.
I dont know if this is true but the rumor is the data resembles vote switch that putin does with machines
Is he implying there was election interference? Because that’s what it sounds like to me
Yeah, people who win legitimately don’t talk like this when their opponents aren’t fighting their wins. Everything here is pretty fishy ngl
Election interference would conservatively require thousands of people working together in secret. It us extremely unlikely Trump was able to cheat like this.
Trump won because stupid people believed he could or would bring down prices and voted for him more than they voted for Harris.
All / most conspiracies would require that. And if you have like a 10 person friend group, you know that people aren’t capable of keeping secrets like that. There’s a reason why there were the “loose lips sink ships” posters.
There’s a reason why there were the “loose lips sink ships” posters.
Yeah, the Department of Defense has to hold regular “know your number” meetings, to remind old shits with security clearance that if a hot woman is flirting with you, she’s 100% a spy. Basically, they have to be super blunt and tell all the horny dudes “you’re a fucking 2 out of 10, maybe a 3.5 at best. You look like a potato that is a little too old, and you smell like wet beef and cigarette smoke. If you’re at the bar after work and an early-20’s dime is flirting with you, it’s because she wants something besides sex. Know your number, because the fact that the 10 is even within arms reach should throw up all kinds of red flags.”
And they have to do this specifically because the “send in a hot woman to get him drunk, then act really interested when he says he works for the DoD” strategy is so incredibly effective.
You can do some grand conspiracies as my grandfather knew it was odd that the DoD in WWII wouldn’t let him talk about the math he was doing but he figured there had to be some reason (the Manhattan Project) but didn’t know what it was for.
Yeah cool that’s an NDA. But pretty much everyone knew what it was being used after it was used. No 50 year conspiracy. Just a secret project.
“Russia, if you’re listening…” moment all over again
Of course he is, and there was. There’s a reason bullet ballots were orders of magnitude higher than the previous elections, but only in swing states.
Paying people to vote for him isn’t a skill with voting machines, but he’s close.
It will be really funny a couple of years from now when the dementia gets really obvious and everyone keeps pretending the emperor has clothes on and isn’t rubbing shit on the German PM’s face.
Then the worst people on the planet will talk about what an alpha chad move that was.
What does PM mean here?
Prime Minister
We don’t have one of those. We call it a chancellor (Kanzler) and we also have a (largely ceremonial) president (Bundespräsident).
Lmao kanzler I will never forget because it’s one of duolingos favorite words. You’d think every other person ist kanzler
Poor Barron - I thought he was the best with the cyber.
On one hand, I don’t think Elon could actually “hack” a voting machine.
On the other, he did basically just pay people to vote for
himtrump, so maybe he had other, more heavy handed methods…Have you not been paying attention to this career? Elon Musk doesn’t actually do anything but stuff still happens.
Maybe he hacked the machines in the same way he grinded PoE2
Ordering something to happen still makes you complicit in the action even if you didn’t directly take part
I’m making fun of him, not absolving him
Elon is an awesome hacker, he just did an RPC call using visual basic on the mainframe to hack the GUI and get through all 3 firewalls
I heard he reverse engineered the DNS and published a git lull which resulted in a total NVME DDOS of the computational cores.
I recognize Juan Guaidó as interim president of the United States until we figure out what happened
Thanks to everyone who called me a lunatic for suggesting this might have been rigged through ballot stuffing
Americans, especially liberals, have a phobia of calling out mass cheating by authority figures.
It’s like they need law and order so much, they are willing to ignore what is obvious. When a subject is taboo it’s not talked about , not dismissed, not encouraged
If exit polls don’t work in your state, and there is no physical ballot counting. And when tests on precinct numbers show strong suggestion of altering votes and the democrats always always underperform, it’s obviously a new phenomena, totally ok. Let’s just stop predicting elections early based on exit polls!
One such test post election for any state:
Arrange all precincts in the state by population and see if there a curve on the more people there are there, the more percentage of votes a particular candidate gets: if it’s only that candidate and it’s a smooth curve upwards that’s unnatural: California has no such correlation but some other states fail.
One should see a random looking up or down plot, or a straight line, or sorta straight. Not a growth curve. That’s because common tactic world wide to alter computer votes is to ads the extra votes based on precinct size.
Usually each state has easy to get data this way to one’s own source if amusement and the dozens of others who are thinking this might be interesting. Occasionally someone publishes graphs of it to thunderous uncaring.
It’s not the only problem but it’s the easiest way for non computer people to understand there is more to this
“Start free trial now”
As opposed to the costly and constrained trials ending with “fuck it, he gets off scot-free because we dragged our feet on purpose and he’s above the law again”
