Claims in 'Duty to Warn' Letter to Harris Alleging Compromised Election Are Misleading

Its writer alleged, "In my view it is a near certainty the results have been changed at a scale which reversed the [2024] U.S. presidential election."

Here you go, a “real” source. He said there were more bullet ballots than there likely really are, but there’s still a really suspiciously high number of them. How is this not at least worth investigating?

    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.

      I’d say the number of bullet ballots is evidence that something is almost certainly up that needs investigating. That’s not a normal occurrence

        So the assertion is that Republicans inserted a bunch of fake votes but only for president? Why would they not just make it down ballot?

          Ostensibly because the presidential election is the one that they really cared about this time around.

        Things can be anomalous and abnormal and not be nefarious. Abnormality isn’t evidence of criminality. So, why investigate? Because the number of bullet ballots is slightly higher? A more reasonable explanation is that some people cared more about president than other down ballot elections.

          Any anomaly on this scale is worth investigation. Regardless who the current outcome or an overturned outcome favors.

          Why do you assume it’s not nefarious? This is literally Trump and the GOP we’re talking about, did him trying to bribe governors for votes make you trust him more or something?

            A more reasonable explanation is that some people cared more about president than other down ballot elections.

            Hanlon’s Razor: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” There are a lot of stupid people in the United States who would vote for Trump. His campaign was directed at turning out low-propensity, low-information voters, and the type of voter who would cast a bullet ballot are low-propensity, low-information voters.

            Why do you assume it’s not nefarious?

            The past two elections are regarded as two of the most secure in history. Plus, if there were actual malfeasance, I very much doubt that Trump, knowing his famously insatiable ego, would not allow his popular vote to get below 50%.

            In the end, investigate away, but nothing will be uncovered, just like in 2020.
