So, here’s the funny thing everyone keeps skipping over regarding turnout, with all the mail-in and early voting, doesn’t it seem more reasonable to think that rather than extra motivation it was just easier to vote?

I wonder what would happen if you closed bars and restaurants on election day unless you could prove you voted? 🤔

I’d probably agree with this. Funny how that works. They’re both pretty unappealing candidates

Ok that one sucks ass but mandatory voting or automatic registration could help.

So all of these mail in ballots were simultaneously counted so that we'd have a clean spike upward and were all for Biden, and this happened immediately after they started counting again?
Do you have any idea how much work it would take to get enough people to spend enough time to make tens of thousands of ballots in voting machines that would have to be completely off the grid, including all the supplies (paper, ink, etc) that go into them?

This is why there is no strong evidence that mail-in votes result in significant fraud: the kind of numbers it would take is simply too much work to do, and especially discretely.

Also every crime you must commit to do a ballot fraud pays more money if you did something else with it and is dramatically less risky that way.

Random thing, Biden’s popular vote lead is probably gonna be absurd by the end given how dem strongholds (Cali, NY) are where most of the uncounted ballots remain.

Well Spitting image did a Trump's guide to voting which seems appropriate to bring some levity to this present situation

So many wasted votes that could have been PSL or Green...
