If Republicans (successfully) cheat enough, the laws will change.
That is not true if the dishonest control the state courts and prosecutors.

They simply need to use the existing laws against republican cheaters while refusing to investigate left-tribe cheaters.

That's why they have to "successfully" cheat. If that means playing the "judge game"

Then do it. After that, laws will be made that have much less designed ambiguity so the courts cannot select who is in office instead of the voters.

Every war ends after a period of attrition, and there needs to be a body count on the other side in order to negotiate a fair deal.

Judges are chosen by ballot or elected officials.

So if they never stop cheating we'll never get any judges or AGs.

On the national level it appears as if it was too big to rig, but if in particular states it may not be the case. I see no reason to oppose the federal government forcing secure elections on every state.

We don't even know which states are swing states vs which ones the left-tribe simply has an enormous capacity to cheat.

Only integrity Im concerned with is the  cult of MADA/MAFA that are being selected into the sexual felony King of Nutters administration.

The list of sexual investigations, anti-science nutters is unending. Then there are the deviants of moral indecency.

I swear I dont believe in Lizard people conspiracies, however, with this list of nutters being selected, there is a pattern beyond strange undercurrent developing.

And where is Laura Loomer lurking these days as she appears to be seemingly gone from front row seat.  I think she is waiting in the back seat for the King Nutter.

The reason they have stopped complaining is that they think it was "too big to rig" that the level of fraud which is possible without even further detection (for we have certainly detected some see this thread) was insufficient to overcome the sheer majority of people which have rejected the deep state candidates.
lol

If you lose, it's because they cheated. If you win, it's because you won so big the cheating didn't matter.

Pathetic.

Maricopa county has been an epicenter of proven dirty election subversion
Maybe they should hire an independent party to come in and investigate.

how would you explain it if in two years Trump has done nothing to secure elections?
You mean like put together a voter fraud commission?

Nothing will happen. He doesn't care about election integrity, he cares about winning. If he actually tries to run again, or if he feels invested in the next republican nominee (which if he's still around is highly probable) he'll have the justice department and presidential immunity so he won't need to concern himself with it.

Wouldn't help, the fake elections are unauditable by design.

Like push for proof of citizenship coordinated by a federal database of all citizens (something they will need anyway for the mass deportations) at the very least or ideally a biometric blockchain for all federal elections.

I already identified that as a possibility.

This thread is filled with the evidence.
It's filled with anecdotes, many of which (and probably most) are not even legitimate examples.

Moreover, if this thread is really all you have been able to dig up, that does more to prove that voter fraud (sufficient to impact elections) is a myth.

And then there's the fact you haven't provided a single reason to believe whatever levels of voter fraud are actually taking place benefit ones side over the other in any meaningful way. Like I've already pointed out, the only example we have of an election that was actually swayed by voter fraud was that NC race in 2018 where it was the republicans that committed it. So we know for a fact this is not a one sided issue. But that of course doesn't matter to the Trump conspiracy wing.

How convenient
...for cheaters, yes.
For people who aren't concerned about facts and logic.

Post #171.

Edit: They took down their website https://www.fieldandmedia.com/ just like 2020. When they get caught they scrub the web.


But that of course doesn't matter to the Trump conspiracy wing.
The solution is the same no matter who is cheating and by how much. So why should it matter? We don't need to agree on that.

Why should the in-auditability of so called elections convenience those people?

I already challenged you, in depth on the example you started this thread off with. There was nothing legitimate about it.

I've seen this movie a thousand times, conspiracy theories are predictable.

But that of course doesn't matter to the Trump conspiracy wing.
The solution is the same no matter who is cheating and by how much. So why should it matter?
Because math. If 10,000 people cheat in an election and 5k cheat for one side while 5k cheat for the other... The net effect is zero. So even if the election was decided by 100 votes, cheating didn't matter.

So when you suggest an election result cannot be trusted because of the cheating, it is not enough to prove that there has been some fraud, you also need to prove that the fraud benefited one side over the other. You haven't even bothered to try and make that case.

That's right they listed Biden Harris as a client.

...and you thought ended in a complete dismissal of all skepticism and evidence huh? *shrug* horse meet water, moving on.


If 10,000 people cheat in an election and 5k cheat for one side while 5k cheat for the other...
So we shouldn't care about cheating because it is mathematically possible that the cheating cancels out and has no net effect....

How about you give me access to your bank account, I give you access to my bank account; and we just spend whatever we want. It is mathematically possible that we spend the exact same amount and thus no wealth transfer occurs.

Sound like a game you want to play?

Cheating is not democracy, even in the extremely unlikely event that both sides can and do cheat with the exact same effect.


So when you suggest an election result cannot be trusted because of the cheating, it is not enough to prove that there has been some fraud
Of course it is.


you also need to prove that the fraud benefited one side over the other.
No I do not. An unknown upper limit to the fraud or an upper limit to the fraud that is in excess of the margin of victory is by definition untrustworthy.

Fake election = untrusted results = outcome that could have been changed by fraud for all we know


You haven't even bothered to try and make that case.
and I won't. I can't even quantify the fraud much less figure out which ballots are fraudulent and who those ballots were cast for. If I could that would mean the election was auditable, which would be inherently more trustworthy and the entire situation could be resolved by an audit.


That's right they listed Biden Harris as a client.
And...?
A client is someone who pays you.

The Biden Harris campaign paid an organization that submitted fraudulent voter registrations and then went into hiding when it was discovered. This is what they call "evidence of left-tribe election fraud" in the real world.

No one said anything like that. Pay attention.

I pointed out the fact that proving that there is cheating doesn't prove the results were skewed by it in any particular direction. You and all your right wing cohorts here love to pretend that you are reasonable by claiming Trump won in 2020 or at least claiming the existence of cheating gives us rational justification to reject that Biden won. I'm pointing out that your conclusion doesn't follow. That's about your illogic, not a statement of what anyone should value.

So when you suggest an election result cannot be trusted because of the cheating, it is not enough to prove that there has been some fraud
Of course it is.
Math says otherwise.

No I do not. An unknown upper limit to the fraud or an upper limit to the fraud that is in excess of the margin of victory is by definition untrustworthy.

Fake election = untrusted results = outcome that could have been changed by fraud for all we know
For all we know we're all human robots in a field somewhere being subjected to a simulation that Neo is going to save us from any day now.

We don't operate based on possibilities, we operate based on logic. Logic dictates that we follow the evidence. If you don't have it, you do not have reason to support any of your theories, making them by definition irrational.

You haven't even bothered to try and make that case.
and I won't. I can't even quantify the fraud much less figure out which ballots are fraudulent and who those ballots were cast for. If I could that would mean the election was auditable, which would be inherently more trustworthy and the entire situation could be resolved by an audit.
Translation; "I have no evidence"

Wow, an organization that was caught in a fraudulent scheme were paid by a presidential campaign. And we know this because the fraudsters told us so.

Amazing how your impossibly high standards of critical thinking plummet as soon as the narrative becomes convenient for you.

Burden of proof error.

My conclusion is: We don't know who the winner was/is.

That's a negative.

Translation; "I have no evidence"
Correct translation: Those who claim a democratic election took place have no evidence

See above.

The only other possibility is a false flag. Is that what you are claiming is more probable?

You claimed that Trump won because the right overcame the fraud, that's not a negative and it logically necessitates that the fraud worked against them, meaning it was mostly done by the left.

And again, it's not a burden of proof error. You're the one claiming our elections are untrustworthy while ignoring the hurdles your claim has to overcome. Proving the levels of fraud being committed are plausibly sufficient to change the outcome is just one of them. Proving that the fraud skews in either direction is another hurdle, says math.

Skepticism is good. Baseless skepticism is not rational.

Correct translation: Those who claim a democratic election took place have no evidence
The checks and balances in place to ensure election integrity are more than sufficient. Overcoming them to the kinds of levels you are talking about requires fraud on a mass scale. The burden of proof is not on the person who takes the position no (as in insufficient) fraud, that's the default position.

You're simply doing what every conspiracy theorist does, accusing others of fraud/cover up and pretending it's everyone else's job to refute your baseless allegations. It isn't.

Math says otherwise.
Post the math.
-5000 + 5000 = 0

The only other possibility is a false flag. Is that what you are claiming is more probable?
What I'm saying is that your "evidence" is terribly underwhelming.

Again, have you confirmed that the Biden/Harris campaign was in fact a client of this organization? (obviously not otherwise you would have had something better than a way back machine posting of their logo) If so, what was the relationship between them? If that relationship indicates that the campaign had some connection to the fraud, what evidence do you have to support it?

This is what's necessary to make an entry level case.

You are ignoring context.

The context was your statement "So when you suggest an election result cannot be trusted because of the cheating."

You don't need to know the direction of the error to know error is plausible.


And again, it's not a burden of proof error. You're the one claiming our elections are untrustworthy while ignoring the hurdles your claim has to overcome.
See there it is again. "untrustworthy"

It's untrustworthy when you can't trust the result is accurate no matter which way the bias is.

I do think and did claim that the left-tribers are cheating more and that true democracy would favor the right, but I do not need to prove that to prove untrustworthiness.

The mere fact that an operation requiring high public trust is conducted in an insecure or unauditable way proves untrustworthiness.


Proving the levels of fraud being committed are plausibly sufficient to change the outcome is just one of them. Proving that the fraud skews in either direction is another hurdle, says math.
Math says nothing of the sort.


The checks and balances in place to ensure election integrity are more than sufficient.
See this thread.


The burden of proof is not on the person who takes the position no (as in insufficient) fraud, that's the default position.
If that is your default position you owe me money, the contract I claim you signed says so. <- remember this, it's the thought experiment you couldn't handle last time. You might want to just go back to the start of the thread and review what happened. Reruns are boring.


You're simply doing what every conspiracy theorist does, accusing others of fraud/cover up and pretending it's everyone else's job to refute your baseless allegations. It isn't.
If somebody claimed I owed them money and obedience because they landed on the moon, it sure as hell is their job to prove they landed on the moon (in a world where landing on the moon is somehow relevant to that).


So when you suggest an election result cannot be trusted because of the cheating, it is not enough to prove that there has been some fraud
Of course it is.
Math says otherwise.
Post the math.
-5000 + 5000 = 0
How did you determine the number of fraudulent ballots was exactly 10,000?

Yes it's a silly question but then you posted a silly thing. I'm making a claim about uncertainty and then you post math without error bars.


The only other possibility is a false flag. Is that what you are claiming is more probable?
What I'm saying is that your "evidence" is terribly underwhelming.
That's not one of the options. It's either:
1.) People paid by the Harris campaign cheated
2.) It's a false flag by people trying to spread distrust in the election
3.) Lancaster county election officials were lying about fraudulent registrations and who did them

"your evidence doesn't matter" = (3).

In which case: Now whose accusing others of fraud/cover up?


Again, have you confirmed that the Biden/Harris campaign was in fact a client of this organization?
If they weren't then there is only one possibility: The field and media corps claiming that they were clients was an overt lie.

What could possibly motivate such a lie when many companies have been sued into oblivion for less?

It would only make sense if it was a false flag. If they were pro-harris cheaters who thought they would get caught, they wouldn't want to implicate the Harris campaign. If they were padding their portfolio with fraud (which would be hilarious) to attract clients then they were taking a big risk which is compounded by the fact that they were cheating so any attention from investigators or media would be a threat.

In other words when the mafia sets up a money laundering operation, they don't cheat the customers; that would just attract attention.

Hence your options are (again): false flag or Harris funded


This is what's necessary to make an entry level case.
Meeting your double standards is not the goalpost in this thread Double_R. This particular example far exceeds what would be required to sow reasonable doubt in an unbiased person.

@ADreamOfLiberty
You are ignoring context.

The context was your statement "So when you suggest an election result cannot be trusted because of the cheating."
You are butchering the context. Since I made that statement the focus has shifted several times, so you appear to be reading my responses without following the actual point I was responding to in the first place.

I am pointing out that in order to rationally justify your skepticism regarding the election results on the basis of fraud, you have to make a plausible case that the fraud could have overturned the results. So just as a thought experiment, let's say the election was decided by exactly 10k votes and let's also say that there were exactly 10k plus 1 fraudulent ballots cast. What are the chances that fraud changed the result?

Answer: Statistical impossibility. For that to occur literally every single one of the 10k plus fraudulent ballots needed to be for the same side while 0 fraudulent ballots were cast for the opposite. Given that we know fraud is committed on both sides, that mathematically raises the threshold on how many fraudulent ballots it would take to swing the results, which in turn puts that much more emphasis on the need not only to prove a high rate of fraud, but a disproportionate beneficiary of that fraud. That's what it would take mathematically therefore that point cannot be discarded while claiming to be rational.

See there it is again. "untrustworthy"

It's untrustworthy when you can't trust the result is accurate no matter which way the bias is.
If your definition of accurate is 100.00000000% then probably no national election in our nation's history has ever been accurate. That's not what any rational person is talking about. The purpose of an election is to decide who gets to govern, you do not need that level of accuracy to be reasonably certain as to which candidate was chosen by the electorate, yet that's all you seem to be trying to challenge. That's not rational.

I do think and did claim that the left-tribers are cheating more and that true democracy would favor the right, but I do not need to prove that to prove untrustworthiness.
You do if you care about logic. When the left wing candidate wins and you claim we should not accept that result on the basis of fraud, your claim logically necessitates that the left cheated more than the right. That's not debatable, it's basic math.

So no you don't get to pretend it doesn't matter who's doing the cheating and provide no basis for why you claim one side is notably worse than the other.

If that is your default position you owe me money, the contract I claim you signed says so. <- remember this, it's the thought experiment you couldn't handle last time. 
You are so delusional.

I destroyed that point, but clearly you couldn't handle it. Don't remember what thread it was, pull it up and I'll gladly show you.

If somebody claimed I owed them money and obedience because they landed on the moon, it sure as hell is their job to prove they landed on the moon (in a world where landing on the moon is somehow relevant to that).
Basic epistemological error.

The burden of proof is always on the person who makes the claim. The standard of evidence is a totally different thing, and that depends on how extraordinary the claim is. "I went shopping" is not extraordinary at all and therefore requires no supporting evidence to be accepted. "I ran into Beyonce" is pretty extraordinary and therefore some skepticism (and evidentiary demand) is appropriate. "I went to the moon" is a totally different category.

A voting precinct reporting that they counted X number of votes for each candidate, is not an extraordinary claim in the least provided the totals are within some range of normalcy. And given the number of safeguards in place and lack of any historical precedent for the kind of thing you're talking about, it's more than sufficient.

How did you determine the number of fraudulent ballots was exactly 10,000?
You do know what a hypothetical is right?

That's not one of the options. It's either:
1.) People paid by the Harris campaign cheated
2.) It's a false flag by people trying to spread distrust in the election
3.) Lancaster county election officials were lying about fraudulent registrations and who did them

"your evidence doesn't matter" = (3).

In which case: Now whose accusing others of fraud/cover up?
 You are. I'm pointing out that you haven't provided anything of value.

Again, a group that allegedly provided services to the Harris campaign was caught trying to cheat. So what does this prove?

And do we even know that it was the organization, or just someone working within it? Those are two different things.

Again, have you confirmed that the Biden/Harris campaign was in fact a client of this organization?
If they weren't then there is only one possibility: The field and media corps claiming that they were clients was an overt lie.
No, it isn't. It means people got things wrong. Proving a lie requires they did so knowingly and intentionally and you haven't even tried to make that case.

Yes, and since results are the positive assertion; a plausible case consists of pointing out there is no possible argument concluding the results are accurate beyond a reasonable doubt.

You say there is a flying spaghetti  monster 47 light-years away that emits no radiation and has no effect on our system.
I say there is no way you could possibly support that assertion.
You say "you haven't disproved the monster yet, the default is that the monster exists"

You multiply an unknown by an unknown and you get more unknown.

I'd love to confirm the statistics that prove the election is trustworthy but those statistics do not exist BECAUSE THE FUCKING ELECTIONS AREN'T AUDITABLE!

Note that for future attempts to restore democracy: a mechanism which could give us an rock solid upper limit for the number of fraudulent ballots would also be able to catch them before they are added to the pile. In other words get it right the first time.


When the left wing candidate wins and you claim we should not accept that result on the basis of fraud, your claim logically necessitates that the left cheated more than the right.
That is correct, but that doesn't mean I have to prove it to say the election is untrustworthy.

If I am presented with a fork in the road and somebody flips a coin, I can say that is an untrustworthy way to determine which path is correct.

You are saying that if it the coin happens to be biased to tails (and that meant left) then it is the mechanism of decision is biased towards the left. Yes, that is a tautology; but I don't need to prove that the coin is biased because any answer the coin gives is decoupled from the correct decision which is found by consulting a map (legitimate voters in a real election).

If the right fork leads to our destination and the left does not, the biased coin can still give "the right answer"; but it is still an unreliable decider.


So no you don't get to pretend it doesn't matter who's doing the cheating and provide no basis for why you claim one side is notably worse than the other.
Yes I do, see above, no one should be asked to obey elections where fraud could have changed the outcome and the hypothetical knowledge of the fraud distribution doesn't change that. If you have the fraudulent ballots and you know the distribution of the markings then you have everything you need to cure the election and after your corrections the fraud (which you eliminated) has zero chance of changing the outcome (from the correct outcome).

Which is to say you ran around in a circle and said "If elections were trustworthy then you couldn't call them untrustworthy". Thanks.

Back in the real world we don't know how many ballots are fraudulent and we sure as hell don't know what the fraudulent ballots are marked for. All we have are scant statistics that tell us it's probably democrats cheating so they probably marked the ballots for democrats; but if the evidence indicated republicans were cheating (more) that would still be an untrustworthy election and we would still need to secure the vote before calling ourselves a democracy.


If that is your default position you owe me money, the contract I claim you signed says so. <- remember this, it's the thought experiment you couldn't handle last time. 
I destroyed that point, but clearly you couldn't handle it. Don't remember what thread it was, pull it up and I'll gladly show you.
This thread post #44 (the start).


If somebody claimed I owed them money and obedience because they landed on the moon, it sure as hell is their job to prove they landed on the moon (in a world where landing on the moon is somehow relevant to that).
Basic epistemological error.

The burden of proof is always on the person who makes the claim.
Common misconception. Burden of proof is always on the positive claim. The claim that something exists or that a relationship between two things exists.

Observe, by simply negating the assertion and shifting the order you can turn the initial claim of existence into an appeal to ignorance:

a.1: There is a flying spaghetti monster, obey the pasta commandments.
b: You said it, you prove it. I will not obey the pasta commandments until you do.
a.2: The existence of the flying spaghetti monster is by default true, you prove it's not real.

B: There is no evidence for a flying spaghetti monster. I will not obey the pasta commandments.
A: You said it, you prove it. Until you meet your burden of proof you must obey the pasta commandments.

If we followed your absurd "whoever talks first" rule then you would say that A is correct. Under the correct rules of logic (A) is identical to (a.2) and is false in either case because both assumed positive existence carries no burden of proof while skepticism did.

An election is something with a definition. Those who claim one happened are claiming the positive existence. I can't claim that I ran a national election in my bedroom and then it's YOUR job to prove I didn't. The skeptical position, the negative position, the default position is that no (real) election occurred.

It's the job of governments trying to be a democracy to prove elections happened just like it's the job of banks to prove they invested your money and didn't pocket it and scientists to publish their data and experimental procedure.

You don't prove it, then you're not a democracy. You can't find my money, then you're a fraudulent bank. You don't publish your results and experimental procedure, then you're not engaged in science.


And given the number of safeguards in place and lack of any historical precedent for the kind of thing you're talking about, it's more than sufficient.
If you think the safeguards are sufficient you're contending that the so called elections are accurate. Which is again another tautology. "If we assume it's accurate then don't have to worry about fraud", genius.



Again, a group that allegedly provided services to the Harris campaign was caught trying to cheat. So what does this prove?
That groups that claimed to provide services to the Harris campaign try to cheat.



And do we even know that it was the organization, or just someone working within it? Those are two different things.
Ah yes, the lone gunman. Would you like me to go find all the times you claimed that the conspiracy size required would be enormous and thus stand no chance of remaining undetected?

Yea, it was ME who correctly pointed out that much of the required fraudulent activity did not require large conspiracies.

You can have your cake, but if you eat it you won't have it anymore Double_R. You pick:

Either the whole organization was a fraud machine because that is the only thing that has a chance OR it was 1-3 people within that organization and that the Harris campaign had no direct knowledge.

I find the latter to be more plausible, as I have said. I also think the fact that the Harris campaign had no direct knowledge and gave no direct orders is a feature not a bug. Plausible deniability. It'll keep the individual out of prison but on the grand scale they know their people cheat because they are the ones who resist all election security policies and go so far as to violate election laws made to ensure integrity.


Again, have you confirmed that the Biden/Harris campaign was in fact a client of this organization?
If they weren't then there is only one possibility: The field and media corps claiming that they were clients was an overt lie.
No, it isn't. It means people got things wrong.
Whoopsie, I just mistaken pasted a presidential campaign into our portfolio. A misclick, a typo, happens all the time. Pfft (and that's all you'll get from me on that one).

They stayed at home. Not prepared to welcome either candidate.

Trump was so happy with the 2024 results he promised to deport them.

In this thread, you have the honor :)

IMO variation like that is the weakest tier of evidence. A hundred factors play a role in producing the final numbers. It can reinforce a theory supported by stronger evidence though.

In this case it doesn't. The people who think Trump is Hitler still think that. The government hates him just as much as they always did. If they could have cheated to the same degree as 2020 they would have.

For all we know they did, and millions more people abandoned the establishment this year than 2020.

Another theory is that Trump or allies somehow interrupted the cheating mechanism this time, worst case scenario would be a deal between Trump and the deep state at the last minute (when Biden fell of the stage). That would indicate Kamala was in someway unacceptable to the deep state or that Trump had finally caved on their demands.
