She Won, Part III: The Devil Is In The Data [View all]

Last edited Thu Jun 19, 2025, 07:24 PM - Edit history (1)


88 counties flipped red. None flipped blue. Trump swept every swing state—each just above the mandatory recount thresholds. What are the odds? About one in never.

She Won, Part III: The Devil Is In The Data

Darkness Our Old Friend


Watching the results roll in on election night, we can probably all agree—our collective gut was telling us something was just… off. Kornacki wasn’t nacki-ing, the blue wave never appeared, and a familiar dread—reminiscent of 2016—began to creep in. But this time was different. This time, we knew.

Between 2020 and 2021, Trump’s allies illegally breached voting equipment in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Colorado, and Arizona. And thanks to a Federalist Society-led appeals court in Georgia, “Teflon Don” got away with breaking the law—again.

At 9:32 p.m. on November 5, Elon Musk preemptively declared victory with a cryptic tweet: “Game, set, match.” Thirty minutes later, Ted Cruz’s smug face squatted on the nation’s screens like he was claiming a throne. Many went to bed discouraged that night. But some of us? We went to bed determined.

Because if you’ve never been to Texas, let’s get one thing straight: everyone hates Ted Cruz.

So, we got to work.


When The Math Ain’t Mathing...

OK, now they dive into the numbers. The nitty gritty data, statistics, graphs, experts, etc.

*** I am adding info from Election Truth Alliance

The ETA is specifically calling for a hand audit of paper voting records. This would be a non-routine review of paper voting records for the purpose of determining whether votes were counted correctly.

"it’s NOT too late to do widespread hand audits of the results"


Check out the Audit Advocacy Toolkit from ETA (https://electiontruthalliance.org/audit-advocacy-toolkit)
for detailed information, resources and specific steps you can take to push these hand audits forward.
They have a downloadable pdf file to assist you.

ETA is working hard on this and there's much more on their website. They also have a youtube channel.

So all 88 swing counties going red, and winning all 7 swing states outside the recount margin? questionseverything Jun 19 #4

Could you give us a couple of specific examples to help us sort this out? Thanks. TheRickles Jun 19 #15
Unless they show exactly how they calculated that probability-- and all the input data LymphocyteLover Jun 19 #20
The article at the link describes their calculations: if 88 counties all flipped in one direction TheRickles Jun 19 #31
You can't just look at those that flipped. Wiz Imp Jun 19 #37
But why didn't any counties flip in the other direction? That is the key question. TheRickles Jun 19 #39
Because 90% of counties across the country went more red in 2024 than in 2020 EdmondDantes_ Jun 19 #46
Thank you for providing an actual answer: 90% of counties went redder. TheRickles Jun 19 #47
Most areas went more for Trump than in 2020. Wiz Imp Jun 19 #49
OK thanks. But the 50-50 toss-up is a big assumption for every state LymphocyteLover Jun 19 #53
