About Those Bullet Ballots

70. It's not true.

There is no evidence that there is an "extraordinarily high" percentage of ballots registering a vote for Trump and no votes in the swing states -- certainly nowhere near the number Spoonamore claims.

He claims 350,000 such votes in North Carolina alone. But the total number of votes for president only exceeds the total number of votes for governor by around 100,000 at last count -- somewhat higher than is typical, but a not surprising outcome given the total collapse of Mark Robinson's campaign for governor.

In Arizona the difference between the total votes in the presidential race and the total votes in the US Senate race was around 1.2% -- basically the same as in 2020.

And in Nevada, a swing state won by Trump also was around 1.2 percent -- actually slightly less that the percentage in Virginia - 1.34% -- a non-swing state won by Harris.

These numbers are easily checked by going to the official election sites for these states -- adding up the total votes cast for president and a statewide race such as governor or US Senate, subtracting the latter from the former and calculating the percentage of the difference.

Mr. Spoonamore apparently hasn't bothered to do any of those things and is pulling numbers of alleged 'bullet ballots' and percentages out of thin air.
