The Arizona election investigations shed light on this. Also 2000 Mules and other investigations. There is a very real likelihood that we haven't had fair elections in a very long time.

Hasn't 2000 Mules been debunked multiple times? It is basically "election was stolen" nonsense. Why do you think it is true?

I don't know about the debunking. I do know what I saw with my own eyes; the video shows people stuffing ballots in boxes all across the country. There's also the weird phenomena where ballot counting was shut down in four states simultaneously and then restarted. Suddenly there was a statistical anomaly of hundreds of thousands of votes for Biden. And there's other weird stuff that I honestly should have been keeping track of.

I don't think the election was fair, I think it was rigged. And I think it smells so badly that I suspect our elections have been rigged for a long, long time.

"Saw for my own eyes" ... "Video"

Were those videos in context? Were those videos accurately described? Why do all the judges across the country think those claims were a farce? Are they part of the deep state too?

There were no "statistical anomalies" during that election, yet there are a surprising number of people who have never taken a stats class in their life absolutely sure there were.

> I do know what I saw with my own eyes

What did you see with your own eyes. Were you a first hand witness of a ballot box stuffing incident? When and where did it happen? Did you take a video of it with sound?

> video shows people stuffing ballots in boxes all across the country

How do you know when those videos were made? Who recorded those videos? Where was each video taken (which voting district and when)?

> where ballot counting was shut down in four states simultaneously and then restarted

Which four states? What what was the date and time the ballot counting stopped? What was the date and time the ballot counting resumed?

> And there's other weird stuff that I honestly should have been keeping track of.

Like what? Any concrete examples?

> I don't think the election was fair, I think it was rigged.

Yet you're very non-specific about your reasoning and evidence. Typically, people cite sources that support their argument, but you did not.

I did some poking around. Others have reported some pretty egregious irregularities in how 2000 Mules was produced. Apparently there's a map of Moscow in one of the shots where they're talking about Georgia?

We can talk about the FiveThirtyEight graphs at some point which show what is, in essence, a statistical anomaly.

Trump's election proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the elections are as fair as they could ever be. Not in a million years would anyone in any establishment left or right have wished for Trump to be president in 2016. Yet it happened anyway.

Maybe you could say that for the 2016 election. Trump lost in 2020.

Which just goes to show that the system was robust even against tampering from the administration (in that case at least).

To be specific, it proved that the elections are “fair” in the sense that they follow the rules as written. They don’t, for example, fairly represent the populace.

Please, share some reliable evidence that this is the case. So far, nobody has managed to anything but cast doubt on a process that seems to be fair and mostly working.
