    That’s why there were millions of straight Democratic ballots, with Trump at the top, all concentrated in the swing states. Nobody votes that way, NOBODY.

    What do you mean by this?

      I mean just what I said. There were MILLIONS of ballots that were straight Democratic tickets, except Trump as president, and they were concentrated in the Swing States. Obviously they hacked the machines, and flipped votes from Harris to Trump.

      That’s how he won EVERY swing state, a statistical impossibility, AND the “popular vote,” the first time a Republican won it since Reagan in 1994. They couldn’t even let Harris win a couple, just to make it look plausible. No, he had to go full dictator, and claim the ENTIRE country voted for him in a LANDSLIDE.

      Have you ever spoken to someone who voted all Democrat, except for Trump for president? Have you every seen one on TV? Since those people decided the entire race, why didn’t any media outlet collect a bunch together in a panel, and ask them to explain? Where are those people? Who are those people?

      Show me ONE.

      And yet Schmuck, Jeffries, and the DNC immediately declared the election “fair & square,” because they were far more interested in demonstrating to MAGA and the world what a “peaceful transition of power” looks like, as if we hadn’t seen that 45 times before. So we never had even the slightest interest in investigating the MANY reports of election improprieties in the 2024 election.

      When this is over, and we are intensely investigating MAGA’s many crimes, we should also look into what the Dem leadership was up to, because it sure looks like they were cooperating with MAGA on many occasions, including the obvious rigging of the 2024 election.

        Thanks for the additional explanations, I’m not from the US so I’m not too familiar with how voting works there.

        I’m still not sure I understand what “straight Democratic tickets” mean. Is it people who only voted Democratic before and this was their first time voting Republican?

        If that’s the case, I’d be interested to read more about this if there are some sources you know of. It sounds like pretty solid evidence for election rigging.

          I’m still not sure I understand what “straight Democratic tickets” mean. Is it people who only voted Democratic before and this was their first time voting Republican?

          No, it means they only vote for the candidates from their party.

          Generally American voters are either Republican or Democrat (or Independent, like me), and they generally vote for all the candidates from their party. Not always, sometimes there’s a candidate from you party that you particularly hate for some reason, or a candidate from the other party that you like, but generally people vote for their own party. That’s a “straight party ticket.”

          The ballot always includes much more than just the presidential race. Every two years, every member of the House of Representatives runs for reelection. Every six years, Senators run. Governors are running, along with a lot of other state seats like state legislatures. Then there are municipal races for your county and city - mayors, councilmen, school board, tax collector, clerk of courts, judges, dog catcher, etc.

          So if someone is a strong party voter, they’ll just vote a “Straight Ticket,” with every vote for their own party. In the old days, with the old voting machines, there was even a switch you could flip as soon as you started, that would automatically cast your party vote for every race, so you didn’t have to flip 20 switches.

          So it would be really weird for someone to be such a strong Democratic voter that they check off every Democratic box, and then cast their presidential vote for Trump. I could see them voting for their Republican neighbor for dog catcher, because he’s kind to animals, but generally, the higher the election goes, the more likely you are to vote for YOUR party.

          The idea that someone would vote a straight Democratic ticket, then vote for Trump as president, makes no plausible sense at all. Worse, literally nobody from either party has questioned it at all.
