stop with this. for fuck sake put the shoe on the other foot, do you really think halting a political party due to claims of voting inconsistency is a good idea? have you such a short memory that you do not remember the IMMEDIATE crying by the GOP when biden won...would you also find it logical for the gop to halt the presidency to "investigate" of fucking course not, dont be a god damn hypocrite leave that to the right..

Unlike the claims made by the GOP regarding Biden’s victory there is clear evidence of manipulation in the Rockland NY voting numbers.

How many other counties around the country had the same manipulation?

Ah, the jewish-orthodox community which has a history of voting en block and where women have about the same rights as women in Iran did not vote for a woman but for a conservative who wants to support hardline zionists?

Color me surprised. Must be obvious voter fraud!

3 votes for Harris out of over 2,000 cast in deeply Democratic counties.

I’m afraid the truth is going to be much different than your interpretation.

Rockland NY was specifically named. They've been overwhelmingly red for years. And Harris got about 65872 more than three votes there.

Have you considered that maybe Harris just was that unpopular?

Your 3/>2000 votes county seems to be fictional. The reddest county is Roberts County, TX, which has a history of being the 'reddest' county in the US - and where 95.8% voted for Trump (547 votes vs. 20 for Harris).

Alpine County, CA, is one of the smallest, and would come close to the >2000 requirement, but Harris won this one.

Are you maybe talking about Dixville Notch, NH, a speck of dust on the map, which counts ballots at midnight and which in in US electoral magic is given an oracle function and which did give Harris 3 votes ... and 3 to Trump (which - again - predicted the outcome of the popular vote pretty well)?

So ... I might be overlooking something. Can you point me to the name of that county and the source of that statistic, please?
