176. I think my DEMOCRACY is worth more than the price of a recount.

Tue Nov 19, 2024, 01:17 PM

Tuesday

There are experts saying the anomalies are only in the swing states, and show bullet ballots as an issue because they are exceptionally higher than any other years, but in the same media markets in the states around them, without any increase in their bullet ballots.

About Those Bullet Ballots [View all] gab13by13 Monday OP

While I would be fine with a hand count audit, your last sentence is incorrect. bearsfootball516 Monday #1

Yesterday NJCher Monday #2

Not down ballots, you mean bullet ballots. gab13by13 Monday #4

yes NJCher Monday #7

The heck is a bullet ballot? onetexan Tuesday #162

A bullet ballot is when the voter votes in only one election and not the rest of the ballot. TomSlick Tuesday #182

Thanks! onetexan Wednesday #203

didn't he have those numbers in his duty to warn letter? Native Monday #28

I also heard about ballots that voted for Trump and then straight Dems. Weird. OMGWTF Monday #33

Yes. Very improbable. Beck23 Tuesday #178

7% of a state's total is a lot more than 2. gab13by13 Monday #5

Yes it is bearsfootball516 Monday #8

I think what I read was it only happened at that high percentage in swing states Loupe Garoue Monday #15

Right - it is the statistical anomaly that is raising questions. RandomNumbers Monday #128

Except it didn't happen at a higher percentage in swing states. onenote Tuesday #160

I agree. And he answered his own question. Are people that stupid? Ray Bruns Monday #17

It happens a LOT, it is called undervoting. yellowdogintexas Monday #54

But not at a 5% and 7% rate. Beck23 Tuesday #179

Especially Trumpers JMCKUSICK Monday #87

Of course they exist. That's not the point. soldierant Monday #118

So the polls being accurate is proof of the conspiracy? EdmondDantes_ Tuesday #197

Kinda funny you expect a poster on the web to " show your work " but the government doesn't have to questionseverything Monday #50

At this point, I'd like the guy the poster is repeating to show his work Sympthsical Monday #58

The government(s) Zeitghost Monday #122

Numbers were posted, true but they were not counted by human beings questionseverything Monday #125

We oversea them through State and Local Officials Zeitghost Monday #133

To be clear my comments are not about the bullet ballot claim at all questionseverything Monday #142

The work poll workers do is important but they can't oversee computer software questionseverything Tuesday #200

We have laws in place for that. DiamondShark Tuesday #202

In 2020 the Maga raised hell over "irregularities" and "anomalies" Walleye Monday #9

The big difference is they hand counted Georgia questionseverything Monday #57

Correct. They went with zero evidence and turned the country and election process on its head. hadEnuf Monday #60

I see evidence and I have questions proud patriot Monday #10

You are not nuts, this should be a hand count because it is so close and Bluethroughu Monday #11

But it isn't actually that close in any of the states and recounts cost millions of dollars. MichMan Tuesday #164

I think my DEMOCRACY is worth more than the price of a recount. Bluethroughu Tuesday #176

The numbers don't support what you are claiming MichMan Tuesday #186

Asking serious questions is good malaise Monday #12

You are grieving, not dumb Tweedy Monday #13

The solution is easy....count the paper ballots. Hope22 Monday #29

Have you withdrawn $45,000 from your retirement account and contributed towards a recount? MichMan Monday #38

They keepthemhonestO Monday #49

The money is gone. The ballots were counted. Harris lost. tritsofme Monday #55

They keepthemhonestO Monday #62

In states largely run by Democrats...Sometimes an election just doesn't turn out like you hope. tritsofme Monday #78

Where did they recount. Hope22 Monday #80

None of the races are close enough. They don't just do them for fun. tritsofme Monday #86

Yep SickOfTheOnePct Monday #114

No but I did get 10 texts a day along with dozens of calls a day to send money to VP Harris over the last six months or Hope22 Monday #77

The bullet ballots exist Tweedy Monday #123

How is it being determined how many "bullet ballots" were cast. This still sounds like bullshit. onenote Monday #14

There you go, ruining a perfectly good CT with facts and logic... Fiendish Thingy Monday #32

I know. I had the same problem in 2020 when the trumpers were making unsubstantiated claims. onenote Monday #43

I have my own theory: Fiendish Thingy Monday #51

Here's what I don't understand. Frank D. Lincoln Monday #119

The implicit claim is that the number of split-ticket ballots must 0. Igel Monday #149

Not zero Loupe Garoue Monday #157

hum.. what about all the folks who didn't vote for President? DooverBeliever Tuesday #169

The claim is that there were 350,000 bullet votes for Trump in NC onenote Tuesday #170

I missed that. DooverBeliever Tuesday #171

So, where did those Arizona and Nevada percentage numbers come from? MineralMan Monday #18

From the publicly available Arizona and Nevada websites. onenote Monday #53

Yes. I saw your earlier post. MineralMan Monday #68

Thanks for the clarification. It would be nice to hear from those accepting Sponamore's claims. onenote Monday #71

I get 2.2% for Arizona Sympthsical Monday #73

Here's how I got my result. If my math is off, show me how and I'll correct it. onenote Monday #79

You're right, I'm wrong Sympthsical Monday #83

Yep. And it's not as if you have to some super genius to do so. onenote Monday #92

I don't think it's quite that simple... Rikki Tikki Tumbo Tuesday #184

He uses the term "undervote" to mean the same thing as a bullet ballot onenote Tuesday #188

States already compare paper ballot counts SickOfTheOnePct Tuesday #189

And that's fine. But don't make up a bogus reason for doing it onenote Tuesday #196

Oh, I agree 100% SickOfTheOnePct Tuesday #198

In post #85 SickOfTheOnePct Monday #88

I can't replicate any of it Sympthsical Monday #93

It can't be replicated SickOfTheOnePct Monday #96

That's a good question. Why don't they show us the numbers so we know they are real? Wiz Imp Monday #106

That's not what Occam's Razor says SCantiGOP Monday #21

Stupid. Straw Man Monday #22

Many voters vote only part of the ballot. MineralMan Monday #26

I think she came to that conclusion judging by the minimal time they spent Orange Buffoon Monday #84
