Wow, I missed that piece of information! I hope they have evidence of the method used. liberalla Wednesday #93

This is interesting. Do you have links so we can assess credibility of what Macron might have exactly said? Bernardo de La Paz Wednesday #95

Here - He accused Musk of meddling through Twitter/X Wiz Imp Wednesday #177

Thanks, that is what I thought it was. Interference is not "rigging", which the earlier poster used Bernardo de La Paz Thursday #192

Yep. Interference is what Russia did in the 2016 US elections (and the 2 elections since) Wiz Imp Thursday #195

Sorry but that is BS - he didn't rig an election that hasnt even happened yet Wiz Imp Wednesday #173

Maybe it's time to consider the fact that we are a country full of morons, racists, and selfish pricks? dem4decades Wednesday #4

The fix was in DENVERPOPS Wednesday #98

Maybe it's not your brain that's yellow dahlia Wednesday #11

Yup it's the same reason why they stole every swing state spapeggy Wednesday #18

But the SAME THING happened in 2020. Look at GA; Callie1979 Wednesday #25

Where were Ivanka's voting machines deployed? Why did Muak all but guarantee victory in the swing states? live love laugh Wednesday #13

And wasn't Musk's Star Link in contact to the central tabulators in all the swing states? Botany Wednesday #17

NO. Star Link wasnt connected to ANY voting equipment. Callie1979 Wednesday #23

I have read that voting personnel praised Star link for increasing connectivity Botany Wednesday #49

The flaws that were shown required the machines to be connected. Here's a StarLink story: Callie1979 Wednesday #80

I agree this is fishy IbogaProject Wednesday #36

he cant do jack diddley. he aint sworn in yet. AllaN01Bear Wednesday #16

You're not the only one. I'm right there with you. liberalla Wednesday #19

"And how many racist, sexist, and mouth breathing dumb fucks does this country really have?" Ray Bruns Wednesday #20

I said the same thing. yellow dahlia Wednesday #167

The Deepest State tees up internationalist change? bucolic_frolic Wednesday #29

Yeah, Trump stole the election Farmer-Rick Wednesday #31

Evidence ? . (speculation and innuendo are not evidence) . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Wednesday #39

There's plenty of evidence Farmer-Rick Wednesday #70

Post the plentiful evidence, w sources. Show it. You can't show evidence fr credible sources, I'm sure. .nt Bernardo de La Paz Wednesday #71

Can you show credible evidence Farmer-Rick Wednesday #73

YOU said it was plentiful. Post the plentiful evidence you claim to have seen. Democrats have integrity Bernardo de La Paz Wednesday #74

Many countries do routine audits of election results Farmer-Rick Wednesday #91

How are you sure there were not routine audits in this election? Bernardo de La Paz Wednesday #94

Probable cause is evidence Farmer-Rick Wednesday #133

No. The standard refers to the evidence because the evidence has to come first Bernardo de La Paz Wednesday #135

You obviously didn't read most of what I wrote Farmer-Rick Wednesday #139

I read it all. You can't make sense of what I wrote because you make accusations and speculations on no evidence. nt Bernardo de La Paz Wednesday #142

Facts (evidence) first, then Probable Cause, then more facts, then charges. Bernardo de La Paz Wednesday #141

You really, really want to believe Trump won Farmer-Rick Wednesday #145

No, and there you go again with the CHEAP tactic of trying to tell me what I am thinking. . . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Wednesday #146

I'm just stating what your behavior shows Farmer-Rick Wednesday #149

And you are recommending your own posts. How cheap is that? Bernardo de La Paz Wednesday #150

I read the whole of your post more than twice. Probable cause is a conclusion from evidence, not the other way around Bernardo de La Paz Wednesday #144

You do not win the argument by Farmer-Rick Wednesday #147

There is no evidence to conclude probable cause. You have presented none because you have none. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Wednesday #148

Just read the original post Farmer-Rick Wednesday #151

The original post presents NO evidence, names, or sources. I called the poster out on it too in post #37. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Wednesday #152

Not to worry Farmer-Rick Wednesday #154

Circumstantial evidence is still evidence. yellow dahlia Wednesday #175

It would be nice if the poster gave even circumstantial evidence, but not even that. They gave nothing Bernardo de La Paz Thursday #193

The evidence is all over Farmer-Rick Thursday #196

"The evidence is all over" Unladen Swallow Thursday #207

Audits are routinely done during certification/nt Abnredleg Wednesday #129

Yes, but they do not audit results of elections Farmer-Rick Wednesday #134

What do you think is "auditing the results" and how are you sure that was not done? Bernardo de La Paz Wednesday #137

No, they audit the results Abnredleg Wednesday #143

Which states and elections? Farmer-Rick Wednesday #153

You made the allegation: Ball is in your court. But you have no evidence, no names, no sources. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Wednesday #155

All the swing states, for a start Abnredleg Wednesday #156

He didn't steal the election. He bought it! DaveDuhRave Wednesday #48
