So there must be evidence of this in the process, but it seems to just boil down to some people lying all the time. Just because someone repeats a lie, doesn't make it true.

I'm all for fair legal trials, and the cases are all dropped as nobody is able to mount any evidence, lawyers admit it was a lie before the judge, etc.

There should be no surprise that mailed votes have more votes for Biden, as Trump was supposedly all against mail-in voting, even though he used the same method himself. This means he's confident in the methodology, and just lies as usual.

Trump actually despises all the people following him. He only loves himself and would not think twice of hurting anybody to further enrich himself.

No point saying that unless you're going to link a primary source (i.e. no youtube videos citing other youtube videos citing a tweet, but rather the affidavit itself, or videos of the 100% Biden vote batches, or the video of the person alleging they saw 100% Biden batches).

I'm not sure why the parent got flagged for removal but for years voting irregularities have been reported on.

The parent got flagged because it alleged falsities about the vote in the 2020 election. And the quote you're referring to was about Georgia's old voting system. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/in-georgia-primary-electio...

The new system replaces the purely electronic older system with a hybrid: tablets that physically mark a printed ballot (similar to California's new system).

From the linked article:

"The state spent more than $100 million to supply every county with so-called ImageCast machines made by a Canadian company, Dominion Voting Systems. They are ballot marking devices, meaning voters make selections on a touch screen, and ballots are printed with choices embedded in a Q.R. code and listed in plain English.

The paper ballot is then scanned and counted."

Voter's selections are literally printed in English text on the ballot, so they can be independently verified in the event of an audit.

That's not at all what the parent said gamblor.

Can you please link to the documentation of the “100% Biden vote ballots”?

I did a bit of fact checking of some claims myself. The all fall into three categories.

1. Misreading a graph

2. Not knowing enough statistics to be able to make sense of something that can't easily be represented in a simple graph.

3 lying.

I checked about 10 claims and most of them were in category 1. Kinda depressing.
