Because they're dumb? Isn't this why software like bleach bit exists in the first place?
I get it. Your point is, they would have to make an extra effort to erase data that's not referenced in the MFT, either manually with a 3rd party program or by adding the functionality to their software, at which point there would be no reason to not also flip the bits a few extra times.
You think they're going to bleach bit 30,000 machines? Is magnetic hysteresis data recovery just not feasible? I figure if there were even a slim chance of it being helpful, it would be worth doing to a few hard drives.
I guess it's a moot point if they use SSD or flash storage.
Is this a trial run for when 99% of all stores will require people to wear burkas for entry, and we don't have enough options left to "vote with our wallet?" How about proof of COVID-19 vaccine? Can a store turn me away if I don't denounce white supremacy upon entry? They're just private business, you know.
Why do I keep seeing this argument? It literally has nothing to do with who they pulled ads from. It has everything to do with why. I would feel the same if they pulled ads from CNN or OANN.
Also, they didn't specify that they pulled ads form Blaze because Blaze is shit, so this argument falls flat on this alone. In fact, they decided to sponsor Blaze in the first place, knowing full and we'll who they were.
My point is that it wouldn't necessarily change the bellwether counties at all, but enough other counties get a much higher Dem turnout. The bellwether counties are a statistical anomaly. There is a predictable correlation between how they vote and how the rest of the country votes. It's not unreasonable to assume the voting population demographic could change drastically, but affect different counties/states/regions differently, potentially having little affect on bellwethers, but having a massive effect elsewhere.
This explanation is plausible, even if it's not likely. Since there are other plausible explanations, the statistics and probability in the OP post don't tell the whole story, and can't be taken at face value.
More specifically, bellwether counties resonate with what the voting demographic wants. If mass mail-in voting somehow got more people to vote than would otherwise, more specifically getting lazier people to vote, this could easily change the voting demographic dynamic. This is just one theory, as is fraud another theory. Another theory could be that Trump got more people to vote than ever before, but got more new people to vote against him rather than for him, thus changing the voting demographic dynamic.
It's only a statistical improbability if the conditions were relatively similar to past elections. Mass mail-in voting, by itself and not even considering fraud, could fundamentally change the election dynamic and make bellwether counties statistically irrelevant.
We wish him the best
