Sworn affidavits from voters claim votes were not properly counted, while a statistical analysis cited in the complaint suggests the presidential results deviate sharply from expectations based on prior elections. In multiple districts, results showed voters backing a Democratic Senate Kirsten Gillibrand alongside a total of zero votes for Kamala Harris.
So what happens if this succeeds? If it comes out that Trump actually stole the election? Can he even be removed?
They’ll find some low level election official to blame it on charge them with election fraud. Maybe they’ll do time or maybe they’ll be pardoned. It will not likely have any effect on the 2024 election results because it’s unlikely that there would be enough Harris votes found to change the state and thus the national results, and this district is all the trial will be looking at.
The house, then the Senate will do their… Nope, we’re fucked
Recounts based on random samples of ballots should be standard procedure even when there’s statistically no chance of it changing the outcome. This is key, to not only to reinforcing confidence in our system but to catch minor issues before they turn major. Harris should’ve pushed for recounts in every swing state. Biggest difference from Trump is that he was calling the 2020 election fraud before news agencies began calling it for Biden.
I don’t know how it would make any sense for multiple candidates that voted for a Dem candidate for governor to have zero votes for Harris. That’s an insane statistical anomaly.
Trump started calling the 2020 election fraud months before people even voted.
