    So, I might get put on a list for this, but so be it.

    Does no one else here feel like a little bit of fuckery has happened in the election process?

    It’s like overnight everyone has forgotten about all those ballot boxes that were burned, multiple cases of ballot box interference (1,2), and the fact that Trump and his ilk are always projecting, which means that when he says a state or someone is cheating, it very well could mean that he and his cronies are up to no good. What about those bomb threats?

    Now, with all of that being said, I do NOT want to come off as the same of the likes of a Trump supporter. I do not want you all to look at me like I am trying to cause distrust in the system. I do trust the system (as much as I can of course), so let it be said here and now, I am not saying this as a matter of fact.

    These points, and the very quick and almost instant next day results, have made me very much question the LANDSLIDE that Trump had this year. Voter turn out was at an all time high, and I know that doesn’t mean a lot, but everything combined makes me a little inquisitive to the nature of the results. We know that Russian interference happened in 2016. We know about Russian interference in the 2020 election. We also expected, and are sure of, interference in this election of 2024. That’s not even counting all the billionaires and millionaires having private little meetings about how they can push the scales to their favor, Trump and Musk talking to Putin in private, and I’m sure there are plenty more that we can all find easily verifiable facts on.

    I guess what I’m trying to say, is that something felt more off about this election, than the past three, to me at least.

    Am I just being silly? Can someone help me here?

      Honestly this has been knocking around in my head. Did truly less people vote this go around?

      We have more days of counting to go through but I’m honesty surprised at the numbers so far.

      If less people voted then fair, but something feels off. Kinda left with some uncomfortable possibilities if there’s a way to know the true number of people that voted.

        I agree. If there really are that much less votes this year, and everything is clear as can be, then I concede my theory. It just seems so… strange? Like, he was literally sitting there claiming fraud, and then…? Nothing…? Just stopped peddling it, and won? Like, he got real confident, real quick…
