Close, not closed

The result matched the polls. Not perfectly but it wasn't far off. And didn't Harris do even worse in the non swing states? The swing states were closed because of her massive ground game.

I also think Trump suppressed his own voters in 2020 by screeching that it would be rigged against him and not to do mail in ballots.

It runs on East and West coasts too

There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud.

No, it wasn't rigged. We're better than this. Trump won because prices were high and he stirred up fear about the border.

I'm not following the logic of asserting the presidential race was an anomaly in Trump's favor over the senate races being an anomaly in Dem's favor.

We know for sure that there were thousands of people who voted for Trump who never voted before. Like the Amish for example.

We never will, no.

I believe this to be true.

I hate Trump but I think that voters who aren’t engaged with politics coming in and voting just for Trump and nobody else downballot at all is totally believable given the current information environment.

We all know it was rigged.

Trump bragging about Elon "knowing those vote-counting computers".

Extreme statistical outliers dominated swing state voting patterns, across all swing states.

Trump got far more "extra votes" than Harris in swing states, both when comparing to downticket races within the same state and when comparing to mom swing states.

Republicans had a known substantial contingent of "Never Trumpers" who vote Republican but not Trump, but Democrats who vote Democrat also supported Harris. ("Moderates" who claim to be tired of "progressives" vote Republican, not Democrat-but-not-Harris)

Where did these tightly correlated extra votes come from?
