If there was interference Elon hired someone to do it. That man is an idiot and there's no way he engineered it. If there's interference then there are multiple parties who are aware and the more people you have who know the higher the chance for someone to leak the truth. Fingers crossed?

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 3 points 30 minutes ago

I doubt there was actual vote-rigging on any serious scale. But it's hilarious that Trump's syphilis-riddled brain thinks that's why he won.

[-] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 4 points 42 minutes ago

Is it me, or does this seem like a deliberate gaffe to rile up the opposition.
send everyone into a tailspin over a worthless fake "gotcha!'

republican morons can be convinced to do anything if you first convince them that a democrat already did it, so it's fair game.

The entire time he was lying about the election being stolen, I wondered about this. Democrats were all "election integrity has never been more secure" but I was like, yeah, sure, all those vote counting machines made by private third party companies couldn't POSSIBLY be tampered with 🙄 (tell that to Bernie Sanders supporters if you want to hear a belly laugh)

drumpf himself voiced that "you won't have to vote again" and "he already has all the votes he needs" in the run-up to election day. musk was literally buying votes in swing states, and now it can be said that all the information he got while running these blatant vote-buying schemes were probably used to cast votes on behalf of people he knew weren't going to vote. This is seen in the fact that in those solid drumpf counties, the down ballot republicans didn't win.

Toward the end of the election cycle, drumpf was phoning it in so hard. Remember when he was at a townhall, took two questions, and then danced on stage for 40 minutes? Remember when his team had to beg him to get back on the campaign trail because he just inexplicably stopped? I optimistically took it for resignation because he faced prison, but it was, in fact, because he already knew the outcome.

Now democrats have put themselves in a mess, because they touted election security like it was some ancient indecipherable machine that couldn't possibly be interfered with, until now??

So the guy that would have gone to prison for attempting to tamper with election results, gets onstage after barely winning an election, and says "gee, my faithful cock holster sure did a great job tampering with these election results."

So now what, immediate impeachment, that then fails? Do we wait till after the midterms to impeach? Or will they tamper with more election results to finally and forever usher in their fascist oligarchy?

WHAT A FUCKING JOKE

[-] _core@sh.itjust.works 55 points 3 hours ago

Is he implying there was election interference? Because that's what it sounds like to me

[-] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 21 points 2 hours ago

Election interference would conservatively require thousands of people working together in secret. It us extremely unlikely Trump was able to cheat like this.

Trump won because stupid people believed he could or would bring down prices and voted for him more than they voted for Harris.

[-] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 hours ago

Of course he is, and there was. There's a reason bullet ballots were orders of magnitude higher than the previous elections, but only in swing states.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, people who win legitimately don't talk like this when their opponents aren't fighting their wins. Everything here is pretty fishy ngl

[-] Geobloke@lemm.ee 7 points 2 hours ago

"Russia, if you're listening..." moment all over again

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 15 points 3 hours ago

I loved it when my english teacher gave us a paper to read and it was about how the us couldnt turn into a dictatorship because of "checks and balances". It compared the us to hungary which is funny because in hungary orbán had to be elected before he could change the constitution while trump changed it before he was even elected 💀(i know technically its a reinterpretation but basically the same).

[-] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 10 points 2 hours ago

Orban's allies bought up the media that opposed him before the elections. Something like that could never happen in the USA.../s

[-] kandoh@reddthat.com 4 points 1 hour ago

I remember someone pointing out that the American constitution was the basis for a lot of other countries that were founded in the 1800s following the Enlightenment.

They all fell into a dictatorship.

[-] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 hours ago

I remember my highschool history teacher warned us that all governments eventually become oligarchies.

[-] PanArab@lemm.ee 7 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

The checks and balances are in theory dependent on the legislative and judicial branches being independent from the executive, but in practice they really aren’t. A republican house and senate and a conservative majority in the supreme court means the checks and balances by choice won’t be checking and balancing.

[-] BaldManGoomba@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago

I dont know if this is true but the rumor is the data resembles vote switch that putin does with machines

[-] JusticeForPorygon 25 points 5 hours ago

Paying people to vote for him isn't a skill with voting machines, but he's close.

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 55 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

It will be really funny a couple of years from now when the dementia gets really obvious and everyone keeps pretending the emperor has clothes on and isn't rubbing shit on the German PM's face.

Then the worst people on the planet will talk about what an alpha chad move that was.

We don't have one of those. We call it a chancellor (Kanzler) and we also have a (largely ceremonial) president (Bundespräsident).

[-] pixeltree 2 points 2 hours ago

Lmao kanzler I will never forget because it's one of duolingos favorite words. You'd think every other person ist kanzler

[-] krippix@feddit.org 1 points 2 hours ago

we have 16 :P

[-] CurlyChopz@lemmy.world 63 points 8 hours ago

On one hand, I don't think Elon could actually "hack" a voting machine.

On the other, he did basically just pay people to vote for ~~him~~ trump, so maybe he had other, more heavy handed methods...

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 20 points 7 hours ago

Poor Barron - I thought he was the best with the cyber.

[-] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 66 points 9 hours ago

A month ago or there abouts, someone posted the statistical breakdown of voting in the last election to Reddit. In the swing states (only the swing states) there was a larger than normal number of ballots where the only thing voted on was the presidential election (Ie not senate or local things). He proposed that Elon had used data from his lottery to select people who he thought were in it for the money and wouldn't actually vote and voted on their behalf. He made quite a compelling argument.

[-] Anti_Face_Weapon@lemmy.world 36 points 9 hours ago

I remember reading about that too, but it seems kind of contrived for two reasons.

First of all, we all know it's very easy to lie with statistics. Even if the statistics did seem damning (which is debatable when I read it), that could be from manipulation.

Second, the scheme described would fall apart completely with even a SINGLE recount in ONE swing state. Even just a county wide recount would make the whole house of cards fall apart.

The fact that the current administration has done nothing about this, despite access to some of the best data, analysts, and intelligence in the world, seems to imply that it is most likely not true.

Yeah, entrenched democrats in power couldn't possibly be feckless idiots 🙄

[-] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago

I would agree that it seems unlikely, you know, if he didn't admit it publicly.

[-] quixotic120@lemmy.world 24 points 8 hours ago

On the last point there is a precedent to not bother when the Supreme Court is stacked against you, and the Supreme Court of 2000 was outright balanced compared to the kook show of today

When George w won Florida under fairly suspect terms in 2000 gore pushed it a bit and probably should’ve pushed it more. The recount was sketch as fuck, the margin was literally like 500 votes for the entire state, it was later found that a bunch of counties never actually did the recount, George’s brother was the governor, his cousin at Fox News made the first call that Florida and the election went to him, just a lot of fuckery all around. And there was a lot more to it than that but that’s the stuff they couldn’t bring up in court for various reasons.

Gore pushed back and went to the Supreme Court with it and lost.

So say there was strong evidence beyond major statistical anomalies. Do you think the stacked court system isn’t going to do everything possible to shoot down anything possible to actually litigating it? The democrats are well aware the only chance they would possibly have is if they literally had the most airtight evidence known to man of fraud, like elon himself admitting fraud with all the receipts to back it up, and even then they’d probably hit some kind of roadblock

Anyway I think what people are referring to is this letter about bullet ballots:

https://substack.com/home/post/p-151721941

It’s an interesting point that is unverifiable and could only be investigated by the current admin but see above. Given they only have about 5 hours left and frankly trump has been acting as president since he was elected anyway I don’t think it would matter even if the above was moot

[-] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 1 points 12 minutes ago

At least Biden can feel good because he did his best /s

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 11 points 8 hours ago

First of all, we all know it's very easy to lie with statistics. Even if the statistics did seem damning (which is debatable when I read it), that could be from manipulation.

Fwiw I recall seeing someone make the same analysis about high numbers of President-only ballots, only they reached a much less conspiratorial conclusion to explain it. I forget what the explanation was, but if multiple different people are analysing the same data in the same way, especially if their explanation is different, it lends credence to the idea that the analysis itself is fair.

[-] SatanClaus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 8 hours ago

Or it's true and they don't want to create the chaos that would ensue from releasing that information and starting a civil war.

Hard to say when things like this exist. https://freespeechforpeople.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/letter-to-vp-harris-111324-1.pdf

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 23 points 8 hours ago

That was complete bullshit. The numbers didn't check out. The "only swing state" thing wasn't true and it was pretty easy to verify.

[-] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

If he didn't just admit it publicly id agree that it is far fetched.

[-] SatanClaus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 9 hours ago

I recall seeing something similar to that but never being able to find anything vetted on it.

Id hate to sound like an election conspiracy theorist but there was a lot of conversation around star link and it being used for the voting machines. Another thing I personally was never able to confirm.

Thanks to everyone who called me a lunatic for suggesting this might have been rigged through ballot stuffing

[-] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 7 hours ago

Americans, especially liberals, have a phobia of calling out mass cheating by authority figures.

It’s like they need law and order so much, they are willing to ignore what is obvious. When a subject is taboo it’s not talked about , not dismissed, not encouraged

If exit polls don’t work in your state, and there is no physical ballot counting. And when tests on precinct numbers show strong suggestion of altering votes and the democrats always always underperform, it’s obviously a new phenomena, totally ok. Let’s just stop predicting elections early based on exit polls!

One such test post election for any state:

Arrange all precincts in the state by population and see if there a curve on the more people there are there, the more percentage of votes a particular candidate gets: if it’s only that candidate and it’s a smooth curve upwards that’s unnatural: California has no such correlation but some other states fail.

One should see a random looking up or down plot, or a straight line, or sorta straight. Not a growth curve. That’s because common tactic world wide to alter computer votes is to ads the extra votes based on precinct size.

Usually each state has easy to get data this way to one’s own source if amusement and the dozens of others who are thinking this might be interesting. Occasionally someone publishes graphs of it to thunderous uncaring.

It’s not the only problem but it’s the easiest way for non computer people to understand there is more to this

[-] Darkard@lemmy.world 157 points 12 hours ago

Remember how every accusation was a confession.

Remember how they wouldn't shut the fuck up about voter fraud, illegals voting, machine tampering.

Notice that suddenly all those problems went away.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 45 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Yeah, I was wondering about this after the last election. The democrats seemed awfully confident there was no fraud... But this is a pretty damning admission.
