(44,696 posts)But, for example, I need to see substantiation of the "bullet ballot" claims.
According to those claims, 350,000 ballots were cast with only a vote for the president, and only for Trump. Yet, the total number of votes cast in the Governor's race was only 88,000 fewer than the total number of votes cast in the presidential race. Maybe someone can explain how there could be 350,000 ballots cast marked just for the presidential race, but only 88,000 fewer votes for Governor than president. But I haven't seen that explanation. Nor have I seen any explanation of the source of the assertion that there are 350,000 "bullet ballots" in North Carolina. That information isn't found anywhere on the North Carolina elections site nor have I seen information as to how the number of bullet ballots was calculated anywhere.
The repubs went of on half-cocked - actually fully cocked theories that were readily debunked and that led to lawyers being fined and disbarred. That isn't a path I want to see us going down. But I'm open to challenges that are based on something that doesn't seem to be contradicted by the known evidence or otherwise seemingly plucked from thin air.
