Summary

There have been concerns about alleged irregularities and claims of a “rigged” 2024 election favoring Trump. Data analysis of drop-off votes in swing states raised questions about vote manipulation.

Some groups, including Election Truth Alliance and SMART Elections, pointed to abnormal discrepancies in vote patterns, particularly in Nevada.

Trump reiterated claims, crediting Elon Musk with insights into vote-counting technology.

Critics and officials remain divided, with calls for further investigation despite no ongoing federal probes, highlighting the contentious debate over election integrity. The controversy highlights deep distrust and challenges to elections.

    All allegations that the 2024 election was rigged are speculative, and there are no investigations examining the claims. The claims have not contested the election results as a whole.

    Okay? Then fuck off with your clickbait fearmongering bullshit? Either there is evidence of ratfuckery, and investigations should already be underway, or there’s not and they don’t need to be.

    Trump is literally building camps for out groups and disassembling the entire trade system that the US and its closest allies have depended on. We don’t have time for this speculative “maybe” garbage. Get out there and do something, or stop wasting my time with speculation in the hopes that punchy headlines and ad engagement will save you for Der Fuhrer’s concentration camps and total economic collapse.

      Look, we all know that Republicans are all about projection, if nothing else.

      Trump has been singularly focused on election fraud for 5 years now, and has been essentially bragging about stealing the election with Musk since before the actual election. I full well believe there is a path to being able to ballot stuff with enough preparation in the way they seem to be insinuating, and they had enough psycho followers to pull it off. You don’t need to hack the machines, and you don’t need to destroy votes. You simply need a LOT of voter information, and time to prepare. Musk had both. There was also that bit of election fraud perpetrated by Trump’s team where they stole election equipment and hardware keys in 2020, so they’ve had time to work that angle as well.

      I’m not saying there is proof, but between the discrepancies in data coming out, the shenanigans on voting day from Trump supporters, and the…type…of person who would have been involved in such a thing, it’s well within the realm of possibility. No reason to not bring it up if there are concerns.

      If it did happen, these types of people will have left a trail and some loose ends. My specific concern here is that the GOP is so god damned transparent, that if they did pull this off, they will fight to keep election equipment the same as last election, and it will happen again and again until it’s found out…if it did happen.

      There are multiple independent investigations you can go review them yourself. They’re going to do the data for each state.

      If what they’re saying holds out true it’ll continue to spread

      Exactly. Same as with Trump’s rigged election claims: show us the evidence or fuck all the way off with your conspiratorial fantasies. We have very real urgent issues to focus on before we entertain “curiosities”.

      Either there is evidence of ratfuckery, and investigations should already be underway, or there’s not and they don’t need to be.

      Or there are persistent irregularities that stink of ratfuckery but ratfuckers have seized control of the government, so we no longer have any hope of an honest investigation.

      Pointing out how likely it is that they did steal the election (it’s always projection) is still a valuable way to undermine the legitimacy of the russian backed fascist regime in the US.
