93. After years of being told there was no evidence of election rigging now the shoe is on the other foot

One would hope that since there was no evidence of this happening in the last election, and it was looked at over and over, you hope that people would learn to trust the process.

If vote totals changed, there are audits in place that will find discrepancies. There is no easy way for the data set to be one thing before they are transmitted and something completely different after the data arrives without it raising alarms.

People who do these counts at county and state levels would notice it would take a lot of people to be involved and would be nearly impossible for votes and totals to change when they go from county, to state etc...

Sure skepticism is healthy but when you have one expectation and then get a result that doesn't fit, but let's wait for all the the first round of counting to finish, wait for the audits, ask your questions. But believing things without any evidence is why we still have people in our country that believe that Trump won in 2020.

Probably Why OH Looked Suspect In 2004 SoCalDavidS Nov 11 #9

Starlink didn't exist until 2019, so you can rule out OH. ancianita Nov 11 #17

Can rule out Star Link gab13by13 Nov 11 #20

Right I was not suggesting Starlink WAS INVOLVED in OHIO. IT WAS NOT. It was two different election 1 old one current. usaf-vet Nov 11 #27

Okay. So in this context of your OP, Rove's team looked suspect then, yes, but not now. ancianita Nov 11 #30

Exactly! Again apologies for the confusion. My wife is away with the "girls" at quilting camp. She's my proof reader.... usaf-vet Nov 11 #40

If it was just for Casey then probably not oldmanlynn Nov 11 #42

If they have printed receipts or paper ballots yes. If the people read the receipt as it prints out that is. Hope22 Nov 11 #45

If it were done by a program, they would have to do a forensic investigation of the software, probably Meowmee Nov 11 #59

Didn't dumpy say before the election he already had enough votes, or something like that? Diamond_Dog Nov 11 #18
