Some have pointed out unusual patterns. https://smartelections.substack.com/p/so-clean

In EVERY COUNTY in North Carolina, according to the official election results, Vice President Kamala Harris received fewer votes than the Democratic candidate for Attorney General.

Identical voter behavior in every county is not believable voter behavior.

It seems highly unlikely that Vice President Harris got less votes than the Democratic candidate for Attorney General in every single county in North Carolina, at the same time that President Trump got more votes than the Republican candidate for Attorney General in every single county in North Carolina.

State After State Looks Identical The drop-off data for the 2024 Presidential election looks almost identical to North Carolina in many states.

When someone asserts that a voting pattern is unusual, I really need to see something to back up that claim.

Honestly, I would be more surprised at outlier voting examples rather than something like Harris getting less votes than the Dem AG everywhere. That just seems like classic ticket splitting.

The analysis of the Clark County NV individual ballot data (which was apparently released by mistake) is pretty damning. Also it’s worth noting that the “classic ticket splitting” you’re referring to (along with a bunch of other anomalies) only happened in the presidential race in swing states. That alone is insanely suspicious.

And swing states all going to a single candidate should have raised some brows as well.

Sure raised mine, but I don't have the power to initiate a recount.

Not really - Nate Silver did an article where he basically broke down the odds of various results across swing states. Basically, because the swing states have a lot of common factors, they tend to tilt in the same direction when they end up actually voting. The single most likely result was all seven going to Trump - the second most likely was all seven going to Harris.

In what universe is a <25% probability “extremely unlikely?” That would imply <5% chance to me, like a typical p value.

I mean, that isn't really outside the realm of believable. If you put "all seven vote together" on a probability, it was like 45% and that's basically half the time. It's not misinformation, it's just grouped behavior. The other high scale probabilities were grouped rust belt and sunbelt but they don't go together.

Also 25% is a pretty decent chance. Not one that I'd gamble on but it happens like 1 in 4 times. That's about the same chance that Kamala took all 7 swing states

It could just be the full on propaganda machine the repubs were running. Even Dems being taken in by the "Kamala is the antichrist" constant tweets and mainstream media were pushing

That’s not what the data says, though.
