She was probably pegging him.
This is hyperbole and incorrect, it’s not as bad as this makes it sound. Beaches, parks, trails, golf courses etc are still open. People can go walk or engage in outdoor recreational activities. Many retail businesses including restaurants are still open for takeout etc.
Still probably unconstitutional, but nowhere near as bad as this suggests.
The main problem with this is that the fraud has already occurred and the fraudulent ballots have already been mixed with the valid ballots. There’s no way to just subtract the fraudulent votes from the total vote count. So if it can be proven in hearings and/or court that there was enough fraud to impact the result, the only options are a revote or the various alternate methods of selecting electors (or the house delegation voting for president). I think this is the biggest hurdle to overturning the current result. It would take much less guts for judges or pols to do the right thing if we could just identify the fraudulent votes and disqualify them. It will take people with huge gonads to do the right thing and toss out vote results in favor of these alternate methods, and I wonder if we have enough of those people in the right places.
No we don’t. This is not part of vote machines or any process that tallies vote results. This is a simple process to take election results and calculate seat allocations. The vote/election results are an INPUT to the process, not an output. It does not modify vote or election results.
However even if it did, the code is right there with the diagram so go read it. That’s what GitHub is for.
This is not a data “smoothing” function, is not a smoking gun, is not relevant to the us 2020 election, and only serves to weaken the credentials of the cyber security engineer that included it in his affidavit.
That is a diagram of an algorithm to allocate seats in a political body (parliament, congress, etc.) based on the rules set forth by said body. For example, in most countries with parliamentary systems you vote for parties, not individuals, so the allocation of seats to individuals depends on the vote tally characteristics, e.g. what party got the most votes, by how much, and so forth. That allocation of seats used to be calculated by hand, all this represents is a software algorithm to do the same, in a generic fashion that can use different sets of rules so that it can be used indie different political bodies.
I’m sure someone could use this function to propose some strange allocation of US congressional seats by using invalid, made up rules, but that has nothing to do with our election. The allocation of seats in the US congress is simple, we vote for individuals for each seat and winner takes all. We don’t rely on software to perform any allocation calculation.
Furthermore, the idea that anyone has found a “smoking gun” by simply finding a software design diagram on GitHub is utterly absurd and makes everyone associated with this movement look like fools. This is clearly a case where the cyber security engineer got “out of his lane” and doesn’t understand simple software programming topics.
I’m sure I’ll get downvoted to oblivion, but this is absolutely ridiculous.
This is my life. I have two young kids that do the same thing. I can’t browse TD without them trying to take over my phone to hit the upvote arrow and fighting over who gets to touch each one.
Stop flooding the site with this stupid shit. You either don’t know how to read a patent application or you’re intentionally spreading misinformation. Somebody ban this nut.
That’ll do pede, that’ll do.
This is tweet 2 of 2, so you left out tweet 1 that provides context to these numbers. These are only the unaffiliated voters. Hopefully it does indicate that right-leaning independents are more motivated to vote for Trump than left-leaning independents. Unfortunately registered Democrats are still leading registered Republicans in Florida by 350,000 votes. I think there will be way more dems voting Trump than repubs voting Biden so I don’t think that means a 350k Biden lead, but still registered dems are leading registered repubs right now. We’ll make it up on Election Day.
The biggest problem with theories like this is that none of Trump’s actions should have lead to the Democrat attacks, so it’s hard to believe that it was all planned. There was literally nothing wrong with the Ukraine phone call, so there would have been no reason to suspect impending impeachment from it. Furthermore, if they really were setting up a trap, they would have recorded the phone call instead of just having a transcript summary that still left the door cracked for the Democrats to make silly claims like the transcript is incomplete.
Regardless of how it looks to us, there are still many people that probably won’t vote for Trump because of things like Stormy Daniels and the impeachment. Despite the fact that it’s all bullshit, it’s enough negative narrative to give them cover to either stay home or vote Biden. I know people like this.
Trump would have been better off if impeachment would have never happened, so I don’t see how anyone could believe it was part of some grand plan.

I hereby volunteer to catch the Chivid from Hope. Plz.
That’s cute. You argue like a liberal.
Fuck Cuomo, I’m not making excuses for anybody. I agree that the media reaction to Florida’s current situation and New York is disingenuous and backwards. Florida’s numbers are rising but they’ll never reach New York’s death toll, and cuomo/de Blasio should be held accountable.
My point was very succinct and obvious. The numbers in the meme are extremely dated, and continued use of those numbers doesn’t help any argument.
I agree with everything else you’re saying in this thread.
This is utterly, completely false. The antibody and viral (pcr or antigen) tests are administered in entirely different ways. The antibody tear requires a blood sample, the others a respiratory/nasopharyngeal swab.
The people getting tested are getting the pcr test.
No, it does not. Please provide a reference for the inventors statements. There’s a false image/info going around on social media attributing statements to the inventor of pcr tests, which they never said, and is being taken out of context with a false conclusion anyway.
I know 5 people that have tested positive, none had to get tested twice, no concerns about a false positive. Also, your statement about multiple positive test results leading to two cases added to the case count is also false, at least in my state of Alabama. Of course that doesn’t mean it’s not happening elsewhere, but the ADPH has been asked specifically whether multiple test results for the same person are added to the case count and their answer is no, their numbers are released per person.
Ignorance indeed.
“There’s no actual test for Covid-19” is completely false, there are two types of tests that test for antigens and genetic material of the current virus, and the latter is independent of your run of the mill coronavirus that causes the common cold. The antibody tests are very inaccurate, but the tests to determine if you currently have the disease report extremely low false positives.
You’re referring to the antibody test that determines (currently, very inaccurately) whether someone has antibodies to the virus, indicating they have had it in the past. The tests to see if you currently have the virus are very specific so the chance of a false positive is very low, though there is a decent chance of a false negative if you take the test too early or late.
The amount of ignorance on this topic is staggering.
This is very old, Florida has had 255k cases and over 4K deaths.
His theory lacks corroboration? You mean the theory that bacteria and viruses cause disease?
You can’t be serious, right?
You're going to get downvoted to oblivion, but this is the correct answer. The peak is lower than projected but we're still hovering around the apex of cases per day so of course the model is going to push the peak out further. It will continue to do so until the cases per day start to significantly fall.
However the new predictions are equally worthless because the models are bullshit anyway.
Did you even read my comment? Democrats and the media are desperately trying to pin the blame for our current situation on one person, Trump. Evidence like this shows that it wasn't just Trump that underestimated the impact, which obviously helps Trump.
Pretty simple.
Bullshit it won't do either side of the spectrum any good. The media and democrats are trying to paint this as a personal failure of Trump not listening to his advisors and waiting too long to take action. Information like this clearly shows that EVERYONE underestimated the impact of the disease and destroys the argument that it was Trump that stood in the way of others in combating the spread of the disease.
