I've seen this article by so many different sites at least twice a day for the past 3 weeks. I get that people want to be optimistic and I totally wanna know what happened. However, I'd much rather wait for more information instead of recycling the same information every day. There is definitely something fishy going on here, but so far it's barely above a conspiracy theory at this point.
Here is more concrete technical info https://thiswillhold.substack.com/p/she-won-they-didnt-just-change-the
Thank you, I really appreciate it. This is more of what I'm talking about. Post something like this instead of a random "feel good" article that has less than two paragraphs and a catchy headline.
Ahha not OP to be clear 😅
I guess I should have worded that as "people should post" and not just "post." Didn't mean to make it sound like I was coming at you, my guy. :)
This interaction is why I love being on Lemmy.
Yeah, only bcz the trump administration yelled and squaked incessantly for 4 years that the election was rigged. So, saying something fishy happened is now seen as ridiculous bcz they filed so many damn frivolous lawsuits last time as to turn it into a god damn joke.
And while I don't disagree with you, I just want new information to come out and for something to actually happen instead of just the general vibe of hope by seeing the same story every day. I want this just as bad as anyone else, but I also want something to hold onto. I can't hold onto the same spreadsheet of a few counties in New York from a month ago.
You say you want something to happen… The title of the article mentions the case moving forward. The first sentence of the article says
A lawsuit disputing the results of the 2024 election has moved forward
There is something happening. Did you not comprehend the title or read the article?
This article's a week old already. The lawsuit was "moving forward" and "advancing" per articles going back into May, so that's not a great example of something happening.
This particular article wasn't contributing anything new when written, and posting it now is just re-regurgitating the same stuff that's already been out there for weeks. Their point is valid.
Really? More I look for details, can't find much reputable. What sites do you read?
I'll have to read the article, but if I recall correctly there are some rather religious communities in some New York counties. And they vote in a rather peculiar way. They will listen to their religious leaders about who to vote for and then they all unilaterally vote for that candidate.
I'm wondering if that's what's going on.
Yes, but for real? There isn't a single Harris voter in that county? That's hard to believe.
I agree. Looking at the stats for the county mentioned, it's only about 1/3 that religion, which is nowhere near enough for that entire district to vote for Trump.
Yes. This is East Ramapo. What you say is true. However, even taking that into account, there is even more irregularity.
In a given population, you’re always going to have outliers. No population is THAT hermetically sealed.
- Disproportionally low votes for Harris, combined with normal spreads for other reps and elections? Funky, maybe worth looking at, but not a smoking gun.
- ZERO votes for Harris, combined with normal spreads for other reps and elections? That right there is a fucking HUGE smoking gun. That simply doesn’t happen in electoral statistics. It’s effectively impossible.
For a district with 552 votes, you'd expect at least one vote for Harris through pure accident. It's quite fishy.
