    • Ok, here's the deal. If you want to make a case for this, that's fine. HOWEVER (and it's a big 'however') we can't just sound like the same people who cried foul over Trump's lost election. We have to provide verifiable and independently verified proof.

      In the primary article, we're lacking evidence that Tripp Lite UPS devices actually manipulated votes. There's no documentation of vote manipulation occurring at all, no verified communications proving coordination between the named parties, and the statistical anomalies are described but not rigorously analyzed or peer-reviewed.

      The article builds an elaborate theory by connecting real business relationships and technological capabilities, but it doesn't provide evidence that these connections were actually used for election manipulation. It assumes malicious intent based on proximity and capability rather than proving actual wrongdoing.

      The Common Coalition Report has many of the same flaws, chief among them being a lack of peer-reviewed evidence. Claims about man-in-the-middle attacks are technically possible, but unproven, and the connection between corporate partnerships and vote manipulation is purely speculative.

      If you want to present this as the truth, then we need transparent statistical methodology, which means we don't cherry-pick data, and we can't mix legitimate concerns with unsubstantiated technical claims. While this report contains some legitimate concerns about voter suppression and references some real statistical analysis, the core claims about systematic vote manipulation through satellite networks and corporate conspiracies remain largely unsubstantiated. The evidence presented is primarily circumstantial, and extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof that simply isn't provided here.

      The document appears designed more to persuade than to present rigorous evidence, using emotional appeals and political rhetoric alongside data points. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it isn't something we should be presenting to the general public as fact, lest we look like conspiracy theorists. Verify the facts, then present the evidence—all else is folly.

  • Given how this administration can't cover shit up to save their own asses, and given Trump's very negative perception by the public right now, if there was major evidence of widespread fraud someone would have come forward with it by now. Whether for the fame, the money, the book tours, or the warm fuzzy feeling of watching Trump's lackies go to prison. This was true when swiss-cheese-for-brains made his claims of election fraud in 2020, and it's still true now.

  • Data that makes no statistical sense. A clean sweep in all seven swing states. The fall of the Blue Wall. Eighty-eight counties flipped red—not one flipped blue.

    "When the hurricane blew through, every single window of my house was broken. Surely you'd think at least one would survive through sheer chance. I refuse to believe my windows could've been that breakable, so this is evidence that my house was sabotaged."

    Donald Trump outperformed expectations in down-ballot races with margins never before seen—while Kamala Harris simultaneously underperformed in those exact same areas.

    It couldn't possibly be that lots of low-information voters who don't give a shit about the rest of the ballot didn't like Kamala and decided to take another flyer on Trump because he was at least promising to shake things up and take action, obviously it's a conspiracy. We made it very clear that the economy was fine, and that if you were feeling financially stressed, no you weren't.

    If one were to accept these results at face value—Donald Trump, a 34-count convicted felon, supposedly outperformed Ronald Reagan.

    And this is obviously impossible because the author doesn't feel like it could happen. Surely the United States would never elect a bad person, that's not like us at all.

    Look, the results were pretty uniform across all 50 states, across all 50 completely isolated and different voting systems. The country took a big swing to the right, in swing states and uncompetitive ones, in states with paper ballots and electronic ones. We told the right this same stuff in 2020, it was true then, and it's true now. Rigging so many elections on the scale it would take to swing the overall results requires an insanely huge conspiracy with no leaks and no mistakes and perfect accounting for the massive number of public statistics and results surrounding elections. If it happened, we'd have more than a handful of conspiracy theorists saying "but these numbers look funny" and until that happens, pay this whole thing no mind.
