      Yes but there needs to be some appetite from politicians, Dems seemed completely unwilling to entertain the idea it may have been rigged, perhaps out of fear they would be compared to Trump in 2020. All the noise about election rigging has been about people voting when they couldn’t or dead people voting and the like, no one is really talking about simply not counting votes. Meanwhile, we’re told that turnout for 2024 was relatively low, and yet the lines out of the polls that I saw were always heaving.

        They reduced the number of polling places and slowed down processes to cause long lines in Democrat-controlled areas. That suppressed Democratic turnout.

        It’s hard to say without a better system in place for verification, but yeah I agree it’s a pretty suspicious set of circumstances. Republican bleating is almost always projection, making it doubly so.

          I voted in Florida and it was really creepy that all the electronic voting machines were managed by a Republican, but not Dems.

            Yeah, you know they’re up to something because of their constaint screeching about dodgy voting machines.

      …or the individual states where this allegedly happened.

      Congrats to TWeaK for helping rove me right about one of my election predictions though - that no matter who won a noticeable share of the population was going to believe the election was rigged. I was guessing upwards of 1 in 6 if Trump lost (aka about half of MAGA), fewer if Trump won (not because Trump was more likely to be believed to win in a fair election, but because Trump had poisoned the well of election fraud claims in 2020).
