Not just how but why at all.
Our voting system has become a cesspool.
Enough of these fucking voting machines you need to show up in person with an ID and get your damn finger inked.
The system has become so bloated it’s broken.
Voter rolls need to be wiped clean and people need to register in person to vote.
Only people that should have absentee ballots are military and federal workers that are displaced due to government obligations. If you can’t show up to vote then you cant vote. I know this affects people like the elderly but accommodations have been made to get people to polling places. Enough of this ballot harvesting in elderly care facilities.
No one should be denied the right to vote but you got to get your ass there.
It should be. More people should also know its illegal for your job to not allow you to go vote
honestly though... the less people vote the better. Most have no idea what is going on in the world of politics or how it actually affects their life.
Sounds like the problem solved itself.
i've been saying this for years. it should be a holiday, a celebration of our freedoms in the free'est country in the world. you can't make voting compulsory of course, but face it...most humans (at least the current crop) need for things to be made easy for them.
How do you dispute this type of evidence?
We dont. But yeah, i wonder what they will say. “Er uh, we had muh glitch”.
Oh, its a glitch. OK, then reverse it. Should be easy enough. :)
That is not going to hold water, especially since the glitch doesn't go both ways. Thats where that argument falls flat.
Vote shifting between updates
It must be common core math.
Understand small adjustments but ~1million votes in under 10 mins? How?
Trump's vote share increases at -239k. that means they substract more from Biden.
I analyzed the data as well. it happens for both sides. the data is not reliable. sometimes the total votes go to zero.
I noticed that as well. Definitely impacts both sides, so the question becomes "why?"
If I had to guess, I'd say it's a correction for vote counts that were WAY outpacing estimated total votes:
Also interesting is that once the subtractions are made, a new vote count "floor" is effectively set and remains steady throughout the remainder of the race.
Can you give some more context here of what I’m looking at? Thx
NYT (i.e. AP Elections API) state data for PA converted to CSV. Rows are timestamped updates pushed out to various news outlets. The highlighted rows are where total votes counted ('votes' column) decreased as time progressed.
There are probably 100 instances of this happening just in PA, but these stood out due to volume.
Where can I download this data? I have been trying to find the raw data
Run this then convert to CSV: https://pastebin.com/eAibHpeg
Do I download? Where would I run it? Sorry but I'm good with a CSV, not good at running script.
It’s written in python, so if you download the Anaconda environment you should be able to run it pretty easily.
If you can’t, I can run this for you after work and try to pass along the CSV if it’s not too massive.
Reply to this later and remind me!
Maybe let someone else do it.
Where can I find this raw data? I'd like to comb through it as well.
I watched trump lose a million in real time in va at 920Pm election night.
Fairfax should for sure be looked at. They had a ton of issues on election night.
Fair fax is a shithole metropolis. It shouldn’t decide jack shit about our nations future
What would be really nice to see is if for each +/- in every state, all other states/counties/whatever are examined at that same time for a corresponding change, or even in a consistent (change/n) appears in a combination of places. For example if 125,000 are subtracted at a certain time, is there another place that got +125000 or say, 5 places that got 25,000
I want to know if they deleted from Trump, so they can add it back slower to Biden. So its not a giant flip.
Take 200,000 from trump and then Biden get 5000 votes the next time, they bump it to 30000 etc. Trickle him upwards instead of a 400,000 immediate swing.
Please ... The evidence here is pretty weak. The main evidence is that the total N votes drops off a cliff a number of times, despite being sorted by timestamp. Simple answer: The data quality from the third-party commercial API, Edison Research, is of low quality. Or the NYT feeder parser has a bug (e.g. they collect the data in a set which loses ordering when it's dumped to json on disk on server). Fraud is by far the least likely explanation.
damn son
