I was wrong. There is a lot of BS out there to confuse the real harm thats being done. This is BS. I could have just deleted the thread but I want to apologize and commit to being more careful in the future.
They put Democrats in jail for supposed illegal voting while Republicans were encouraged to vote multiple times and they did so without consequence. Thats also why Trump got so many votes nationally.
Talk about being radical Republicans are stealing elections by any means necessary to take control of this country and all of our resources.

(30,222 posts)Meanwhile, Gore let Shrub win.
Kerry let Shrub win.
Here in my Pa. Bob Casey let McCormick win without an audit.
No one can explain why Krasnov got a surge of votes on election day but only in the swing states?
9 Magat states are planning to gerrymander, so far only 1 Blue state. When the fascist Supreme Court guts the Civil Right's Act Magats will pick up 19 more seats.
Someone said that it's not about who gets the most votes, it's about who counts the votes.

Youtube has gotten terrible. I used to easily find videos on how to use a tool or do some sort of diy repair, now the results are littered with stuff nowhere near relevant to my search. Enshittification.

Absolutely nothing came up other than links to this thread 🤔

(37,915 posts)More votes than citizens would have been noticed on election night. Heck, even more votes than registered voters would have been obvious on election night.
Only 67% of those eligible to vote are registered in Florida. In addition, roughly 20% of Florida citizens are under 18. So ballparking it, since I'm lazy and didn't want to pull my calculator out for such a ludicrous claim, that would mean twice as many people voted as live in Florida . . . And they needed 11 months and an audit to notice this?

(11,368 posts)The more votes than voters thing happens often enough that in recounts in some states they just toss ballots until it matches the count. Blank ballots are tossed first .

(16,151 posts)If they are blank, what is there to even count?

(11,368 posts)But
The number of names on the voters list should match the number of ballots

(40,027 posts)I and the R who worked the election had to count and certify that the numbers matched.
Ms. Toad
(37,915 posts)It was more votes than citizens. There are around twice as many citizens as there are registered voters. A 100% discrepancy between registered voters and votes (i.e. twice as many votes as possible) would not take 11 months and an audit to notice.

(7,799 posts)bad by allowing it to remain posted. There were 11,004,209 voters in the 2024 election in Florida. The number of registered voters in Florida was 13,949,168. The total population of Florida of eligible voting age is approximately 18.8 million.

(74,939 posts)Florida has 23.4 million people.
Here's the vote breakdown for POTUS in '24:
Candidate Home state Florida California
Popular vote 6,110,125 4,683,038
Percentage 56.09% 42.99%
These add up to 10 8 million. Around 60% of voting eligible Florida's.
I find these audit result quite suspect.

(19,915 posts)Thank you for leaving it up and debunking the false narrative.
You're the type of person we need in our corner. Fiesty and not afraid to standup and ultimately debunk an internet falsehood. I truly appreciate you right now.
