Do you realize how many people don't vote? Don't even care to vote? Wouldn't even care if someone else used their vote? There is at least 50% of the population in most states to randomly pull-out extra voters, and MOST of those are going to be in the big cities. Voter participation is not exactly high in the US. It's funny, we had noticeable bump in 2018, then a HUGE bump in 2020, and a bump in 2022. Some of that is organic, but it only takes a 1% bump to swing these elections. Taking 1% from the general population is going to result in relatively small number of double votes, which aren't going to be super noticeable.

Look, it's no surprise that there were natural bumps. Trump is a controversial figure. However, like I've said before, there was a slight drop in counties in heavily democratic counties across the nation EXCEPT IN SWING COUNTIES. There we saw a huge bump in voter turnout. Not only was the bump in heavily controlled democratic districts, but it was also primarily seen only in absentee ballots, not in person ballots. Even when you compare adjacent districts, you find this only in heavily controlled Democratic districts, specifically, ones where fraudulent voting was alleged. In heavily controlled districts where it wasn't alleged, you don't see that same bump in absentee ballots, nor in blue states. It's weird how you only get those bumps in contested counties. All of this accounts for at least 250k excess votes based just on those swing counties. That should matter to you, but you don't math.

That said, you don't have to forge signatures. I don't think all of this is being done in a back room. I think ballot harvesting is playing a role in these big cities. Even still, when you have 50% of the population to draw from, there's a good chance you're not going to have a lot of duplicate votes.

So much truth in this post.

My career as an IT Professional is coming to a close. There are some things I will miss, but one the things I will 100% not miss is data auditing. Millions of records in government systems of cities and counties all over the country. NYC, Seattle, San Diego, Phoenix, Albuquerque, Philly, Columbus, Minneapolis, Denver, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Sacramento, SF, Orlando, Tampa, Jax, St Louis and KC being some of those cities. What L2L is describing with his 'bump' theory is absolutely possible in these large databases, where up to 20 million records have to be audited. There simply isn't enough time, and in many cases, enough interest to make these DB's 95 to 99% accurate. Which means that statistically significant error can occur, intentionally or not. Are Democrats too lazy too ask for accuracy? Of course not. If they were losing these close elections, there would be widespread calls for greater accuracy from them. It's just easier for them in these circumstances to manage and manipulate chaos and inaccuracy than it is to exploit order and accuracy, which by the very definition of order and accuracy should never happen.
