Right, but I mean from the point of view of a normie...let's pretend we're supposed to believe these machines are just counting votes and aren't cucked.

Is there any logical reason why the vote total would drop? Imagine the MSM asking that simple question?

I can't think of any reason this should ever happen. Counting bubbles with an optical reader depending on position is very very simple programming. This machine code has to look like fucking spaghetti to obfuscate what they are up to, and when you see the timeline, it's obvious there's some fuckery afoot.

So, you're a tech at, say, NBC and you're running that vote ticker on the screen, generally managing the graphics. I know it's got to be mostly boring, but you don't notice that it goes DOWN (in total) sometimes? Or that one candidate drops and the other increases? Like never, ever?
