189. States already compare paper ballot counts

Tue Nov 19, 2024, 03:57 PM

Tuesday

against tabulator numbers...that's basic Election Integrity 101.

In the precincts I've worked in, we compare ballot counts, tabulator totals, and voter check-ins every hour, just to ensure that things don't go sideways.

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

Only that's all BS soandso Monday #120

What is your background with software manipulation resulting in data errors? Forget it...... Hope22 Monday #124

I'm not into arguing soandso Monday #131

I listened to this on Thom's show. He said Kamala was the only one who could request a recount rainy Monday #3

Provide evidence of claims for your question Sympthsical Monday #6

These claims are made based on available statistics Loupe Garoue Monday #16

What available statistics? Wiz Imp Monday #102

how about you show your work NJCher Monday #19

A hand recount should be welcomed by all. rubbersole Monday #20

It's not true. onenote Monday #70

Thanks Cirsium Monday #108

It is manipulation Zeitghost Monday #121

Desperation. TheKentuckian Monday #143

Agreed Cirsium Monday #144

Stephen Spoonamore has been doing this for awhile. nbsmom Monday #158

It's not true SickOfTheOnePct Monday #91

Very good nt Cirsium Monday #130

How about providing the data to show that it is true? Wiz Imp Monday #103

Sure Cirsium Monday #109

The difference keepthemhonestO Monday #46

The Governor of North Carolina was term limited. yellowdogintexas Monday #63

My bad, I was thinking that was keepthemhonestO Monday #134

NC governor was not getting "ousted" unc70 Monday #67

The governor in North Carolina was not unpopular and the repub opponent was a all out disaster onenote Monday #111

I keep hearing about irregularities SickOfTheOnePct Monday #112

You keepthemhonestO Monday #135

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

I actually think the letter signed by buell and experts is more convincing questionseverything Monday #61

So why not provide the data for us to see?????????????? Wiz Imp Monday #104

I showed my work SickOfTheOnePct Monday #113

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
