I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that the electoral count happened so quickly when it usually takes days (especially with tons of mail-in votes) and that #FelonDon didn't come out early to claim victory last night. Not to mention the multitude of foreign bomb-threats that only happened in Dem strongholds.
With that said, this is puzzling me even more:
Several people on dead bird are asking all the people who voted by mail-in ballotts in swing states to check on the vote to see if it was received. Quite a few were received but never "processed" or whatever the term was to actually count the vote.
They were talking about 20 million mail-in ballots that are missing or not being counted.
Sooooooo... why can't this be a legitimate investigation into where all the votes are?
@QueenOfEverything I was just reading that - there are some big accounts making the same claims. Surely someone, somewhere is looking into this? 🤔
I still don't believe for a minute that with all of Kamala's rallies, endorsements and the fight for abortion rights that she got 15+ million fewer votes than Biden did last time out.
Yes, I was on on of the really big accounts (can't remember his name) and these are many people who tracked their vote and then it "disappeared" or was "not in system". The Wisconsin had to rerun 30,000 absentee ballots due to human error.
The Electoral Votes where estimated and called too fast- should have taken several days. trump told press it would be done election night. States still counting the actual votes... so he can't claim he won the popular vote-but he is.
@QueenOfEverything @BillyBones One important and possibly overlooked point here is that Harris conceded. Unfortunately, at that point, the election is over. One side has admitted defeat and sealed the victory. This is the same sort of thing that happened with Bush and Gore. Gore conceded, making all contests a moot point. Regardless of any shenanigans, Harris conceded and ended the contest. This is why there will be no follow-up. It sucks.
In 2016, I voted for Beto O'Rourke. When I pushed the button for him, it showed up next to his name, Then if flipped to Ted Cruz. I pushed the button again for Beto. Again it flipped to a vote for Cruz. Third time it stayed on Beto and I printed out the ballot. I alerted the Poll Supervisor- he said they'd put that machine out- just a "glitch". ES&S is still being used. Dominion got sued-I thought it was a good distract bc ES&S was never investigated.
Ted Cruz only had a 2.6 advantage, Beto conceded right away. I called the next day & was told that all machines were returned, the election was over.
Now we have Kamala conceding BEFORE all the votes were even counted. Trump claims to be winner of the popular vote, too- not true. As of today, 14 million votes are still being counted.
I think it's critical to do thorough checks of the voting machines (before & after). All ballot checkpoints should be tracked/confirmed.
I think candidates should not concede until a final check of machines & ballots across the country are certified.
We can "declare" winners. But if all investigation at the polls stop when a candidate concedes- that means we don't know if the election was secure or not.
Again, Dominion voting machines were falsely targeted and ended up suing FOX & getting a $787m settlement.
ES&S has never been charged and still being used across US.
@QueenOfEverything I agree with everything but am singling this particular part because I still don't get it. How the fuck are there still States counting Senate votes (for example) while confirming the number of Presidential votes the same night as the election?
And as for the machines - remember when Ivanka got patents on voting machines from China? Where are they being used? 🤔

#Ivanka #VotingMachines
In China, the have categories- in Cat 9 voting machines & others are included.
"Ivanka LLC does not have a U.S. application or registration for voting machines or electric fences. Absent actual use or intent to use "Ivanka Trump" as a brand for voting machines or electric fences, there would be no lawful basis for her U.S. company to apply to register marks for those goods with our USPTO. "
@QueenOfEverything Oh that's something then. Thanks QOE👍
@BillyBones @sirgeefive #electoralcollege #Votes
This is what is driving me crazy- Kamala should not have conceded until ALL THE VOTES were counted.
Because once she concedes- all investigations are over
I don't know if electoral votes can be challenged if fraud is found afterwards.
Here's the time table for the electoral votes.

#Elections #ElectionInterference
Above all we count on our elections being run without interference, so we can trust the outcome of the election. I understand why Kamala Harris conceded- "when we lose the election we accept the results."
Here's the problem- if technical interference occurs- ballots being tampered, lost or stolen & voting machines being corrupted that means the "results" are not legitimate.
Kamala conceding should not stop investigation.
