Claims in 'Duty to Warn' Letter to Harris Alleging Compromised Election Are Misleading, But Still Alarming

However, Snopes' research, in which we compared the vote tallies cited by Spoonamore with the latest official election results, found his figures to be incorrect and his assertions to make no mathematical sense.

Sure, investigate. But what though? You need evidence of something before even alleging a crime.

What seems more likely, 1) A vast conspiracy involving the Trump campaign, a group of hackers, Elon Musk and various employees at his super PAC, along with countless other shadowy actors in a cabal that supposedly hacked the vote—an elaborate plot divined by one guy who has gotten nearly every data point verifiably wrong and has provided zero evidence for his related claims, yet somehow “got it right.” Or, 2) A small number of Trump voters simply didn’t care or know much about other offices or candidates and just voted for Trump and left the rest blank?

Right.

It’s genuinely sad to watch people grasp at conspiracy theories like this. Conspiratorial thinking is strongly correlated with feelings of insecurity, low agreeability, narcissism, intolerance of uncertainty, a lack of control, fear, and tendencies toward confirmation bias and proportionality bias. So while it’s not entirely surprising to see some on the left indulging in this kind of thinking—just as Trump supporters did and do—it’s still disappointing to witness.

The key flaw in this idea that fake bullet ballots put Trump over the top ignores the fact that Republicans won House and Senate seats as well.

If it were bullet ballots, we would have seen split tickets where Trump won but Dems won House and Senate seats at that did NOT happen.

So, no, this is all specious reasoning from the start.

Look at the Abortion bill in Arizona:

https://ballotpedia.org/Arizona_Proposition_139,_Right_to_Abortion_Initiative_(2024)

Yes - 2,000,287 - 61.61%
No - 1,246,202 - 38.39%

3,246,529 votes cast.

Now look at President:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election_in_Arizona

Republican - Donald Trump - 1,770,242 - 52.2%
Democratic - Kamala Harris - 1,582,860 - 46.7%
Green - Jill Stein - 18,319 - 0.5%
Libertarian - Chase Oliver - 17,898 - 0.5%

3,389,319 votes cast.

There were 142,790 more votes cast for President than in the abortion race, but Trump beat Harris by 187,382 votes.

Even if all 142K overvotes cast in the Presidential race were fake bullet ballots, Trump STILL would have won by 44,592 votes.

I don't believe there was fraud but I do believe statistical anomalies are worth a second look. Some people won't ever be convinced but I'm certain the various audits of 2020 that came up empty swayed at least a few people (on that topic, not Trump as a whole).

That doesn't mean anything, are we really doing this? Can we just accept Americans are idiots

Damn imagine if true, knowing that your US Government was illegally elected. This really should be investigated for the sake of the entire world.

Even if every single one of the bullet ballots were invalidated, trump would still win.

Do we really need to chase after ghosts rather than look at the terrible campaign Harris ran? She ran Hillary’s campaign again, took the left for granted and made stupid campaign stops in Kentucky and Texas rather than focusing on more important matters.

Harris lost the election running a center right campaign.

All good points here, but the clarification that Snopes and everyone else is missing and not talking about are kind of important:

• "Bullet Ballots" are single votes for one candidate with nothing else filled out. In order to be valid that means...
• A voters information would have to be put on a form and fed into a tabular, and in the case of Georgia and Arizona (I think?) physically reviewed before fed into said machine because...
• The tabulation machines are set to confirm a specific amount of information, and if that information is wrong, it will error. This is a code on the form that can be machine scanned, so that makes sure it fits a specific location, precinct, county, whathaveyou., BECAUSE...
• if someone were to get a grip of these forms and ballot stuff them, then counts would be meaningless.

So really all that needs to be done is to find a large enough sample of size of consistent voters who had a flipped vote, find their forms, ensure nothing is fucky with the forms, then interview to confirm with the voter. Do that for a few thousand people in Wherever, USA and you'll have your answer.

It's not hard, it's just time consuming and costs money. Voters don't generally have a way to even check their vote was counted for all the candidates they chose in most states, which I think is fucked up, otherwise this might be a bit easier.
