    wait, actually, i just commented this on another post: all the swing states, the ones crossing the diagonal, have a wildly different trajectory than either the solid blue states or solid red states. the swing states go right and not down (WI goes right and up??) and everyone else drops down. aren’t those the states we would expect foul play in?

      Good point. Now that you mention it, I see it. Far smaller drop in voting in the swing states that Trump won. Even one anomalous increase.

        Once you look at the data up close you can see how they attempted the skewing in 2020, but didn’t go aggressive enough, and this time they went full throttle.

        If you consider the USA has the mightiest military and is (for some bizarre reason) still the world reserve currency with the petrodollar, then it really was only a matter of time before some foreign entity figured out how to do this.

        USA democracy was finished at the Citizens United point, but it limped on till November last year.

        There will be more elections and they will not be as rigged to keep the appearance up, but the executive branch is done. Very likely Musk runs in 28 and algorithmically wins in a landslide.

        That is, if they’re able to prevent most polling places from burning down or flooding or blowing away.
