Why Weren't the Fake Ballots Straight-ticket Democratic?

If you're going to go to the trouble of printing up 10 million or so fake ballots that vote for the Democratic presidential candidate, putting them in fake envelopes, and mailing them to polling places all over the country ...

why wouldn't you have them vote for all the other Democratic candidates?

Straight-party voting is a pretty common thing; all the ballots sent from our house were straight-ticket Democratic. Fake ballots wouldn't look suspicious if they were too. If all 80 million votes for Biden had also voted for the other Democrats on the ballots, we would have had the blue tsunami that was predicted in song and story.

But we didn't. Instead, we got a blue extremely low tide. Did the people making the fake Biden ballots screw up, or were the 80 million ballots actually real, each done by an individual who knew that some of the candidates on their ballot were the better choice even though they didn't have a D by their name. I'd like to hear The Donald's response to that.

I believe even engaging in conspiracy theory/ tin foil hat Bannon/Trump gibberish is feeding the identified Trolls.

Just my opinion.

I thought I was pointing out a fairly major flaw in the Fake Ballot Conspiracy Theory, one that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere. I realize that pointing out flaws in Trump's thinking is an Augean Task, but are you contending that it isn't even worth doing?

Way too clever!

Yeah. Why did those tricksy Dems forget to have Moscow Mitch and Lindsey LOSE??

Welcome to DU, by the way.

Don't you know. It is the only thing that makes logical sense. I know for a fact that Perdue and Loeffler were involved. They actually stuffed the envelopes.

Is at the crux of maggots inability to accept his loss.
In some states the election was stolen from us
Through voter intimidation, suppression. And just plain throwing out ballots and all that tomfoolery that was done to the post office.
And yet Biden won when it's very clear everything was geared two maggots winning.
that's why he's so incredulous about his loss.
Don't think it's as far-fetched as all that.

To the elections offices to be counted.

South Carolina, Kentucky, Maine and Iowa are highly suspicious looking at the vote totals and ballot requested but never received by elections offices.

millions of ballots lost

Turnout was astoundingly high, far into record territory in sheer numbers and as a percentage of those eligible to vote in the modern era.

You're saying that it was actually "millions" higher, but the ballots were lost?

Evidence?

I shamefully got conspiracy theory unhinged at the moment.

On further reflection I might have exaggerated a bit.

My bad.

Yeah, I said that badly. I used the term as shorthand for "vote for all the Democrats on the ballot and nobody else" to get it to fit in the title line. I haven't lived in a state that actually had a mechanism to do that with a single checkmark for a few decades. Of course, the theoretical fake ballots in those states could use that mechanism and the rest could fill in all the selections in the whole ballot.

that they thought of that and didn't want to tip their hand.

Besides the conspiracy is against God's gift to the universe not the GOP underlings and peasants.

Alien lizardmen figure in there somewhere too.
