(2,642 posts)The first three of those examples of this global conspiracy of evil are in the same county in Texas: why is it so OUTRAGEOUS that three people of the same party in the same county in Texas would win by the same number of votes? It isn't outrageous, it makes perfect sense. Same electorate, same margins. Moving on.
So now we actually have 3 instances where votes line up.
In 2002 (which is when this took place) there were probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 20,000 elections taking place across the country. Why is it so IMPOSSIBLE to believe that in 20,000 races across the country that there would be 3 voting groupings? I would bet, that if the same analysis were done for Democrats, you might find one, maybe 2 groupings, maybe even 3 or 4!!
Its statistically likely that this will happen when every race in the country is examined with a fine tooth comb for any kind of "pattern" to reinforce the idea that EVIL REPUBLICANS CONTROL THE VOTING MACHINES!
So, what you are telling me, in essence, is that computer programmers, hired by corporations who make voting machines, wrote a system into their tabulation software to add 18,181 votes to the winners of certain races? Not a random number to avoid detection - but the same number. And it only shows up in 5 races, nationwide?
Give me a fucking break.

(33,956 posts)there were multiple cases of the same number of votes to win...and in most cases, there was also an undervote for the POTUS---in other words, in a very contentious race, people showed up to vote for their dogcatcher, but not the POTUS.

(2,642 posts)In ten years, the Democratic party, with all of their resources has been unable to prove the rigging of elections?
In four years, the Attorney General of the United States has sat around and done nothing? Because he's incompetent? Or does he not care?
OR is all this all just bullshit drummed up by angry people on the internet desperately looking for a reason why their candidates don't win sometimes?

(60,567 posts)Democratic Party leaders and the Attorney General are PART OF THE CONSPIRACY!
It's the ONLY possible explanation. MATHEMATICAL PROOF EXISTS!
Indydem
(2,642 posts)So essentially the entire system is corrupt, right?
Including the Democratic party which is apparently a party to this and lets this happen, why?

You people are so silly.
Election fraud, how ridiculous!
Liberal conspiracy nuts, every one of you!
Stop questioning possible election fraud!"

(19,841 posts)The Dem party knows but does not find it expedient to launch a large-scale effort on its own which would seem one-sided. They've done some things at state level which are making some difference, but not what we really need to fix a massive, systemic, national problem.
The Fed knows but does not allocate resources to it. Yes you could say they don't care.
And there are lots of people like you representing the forces that have NO interest in voting transparency. Those forces actively push against even reasonable reforms.
Why would anybody trust elections in America after what we have seen?

(34,845 posts)If cheating was to be done, it would be by percentages, not by a specific number of votes.
This is nonsense. It's not to say that electronic voting machines cannot be rigged. Of course they can. But this is not evidence of it.

(34,845 posts)Not sure what that has to do with anything. But my point stands -it's too consistent, which makes it, to my mind, a statistical coincidence, which happens all the time.

(6,428 posts)of American voters. Not many know of it including yourself, whether it's coincidence or in fact real cheating going on. So how's it going to be 'obvious?'

(17,320 posts)miscount the votes. However, the assertion made by this post that there were multiple
instances of differentials of exactly the same number could not possible be the truth.
Republicans would not be that careless.
