You are well aware the spoon guy is a proven liar. Why continue to spread his disinformation?

His bullet ballot "hypothesis" is a proven lie. It is mathematically impossible.

It wasn't a mistake, he is a con-artist. It's a shame people are that gullible.

Given that spoon guy has already lied and made nakedly false claims, I think it is fair to question his motives.

What evidence do you have that "tens of thousands" of Wisconsin voters voted for Baldwin and Trump?

Yes, voting for Balwin and Harris seems far more likely than Baldwin and trump, that does not compute to me.

In 2 elections, you have 4 candidates. You're ignoring that Baldwin beat a nobody

Totally agree. He told us over and over how he was going to do it...because he said that's what the democrats did to him

Surely, you have an example of a previous hand count in an entire state that flipped 30,000 votes then.

Verifying first-counts of extremely important and complex election results is not a waste of anything.

Then why has Harris not pursued this path? Why is Harris not seeking such recounts?

Nope. I don't have to ask her once or even twice to know that she has no interest in these goofy conspiracy theories.

That's quite an assumption to make about what a sitting VP and Presidential candidate is thinking about.

Down ballot candidates had a more intimate and frequently longer connection to voters than Kamala.

I don't blame Kamala. Given a waaaayyy late start she kept it positive and acquitted herself well. Hind sight....

Using the same logic, couldn't someone make the claim that it was actually the down ballot candidates that cheated? n/t
