In reply to the discussion: She Won, Part V: Why The Missing Votes In Rockland County Matter [View all]

(642 posts)61. Why would I break it down by party? That's not relevant
Split ticket voting is a thing. What are you claiming would be proven by a Senate candidate getting more votes than a presidential candidate? In the 2018-2022 cycle 26% of Democrats running for Senate ran more than 5 points ahead of the Biden ticket in 2020. 52% ran within 3 points. Not really a rare event if it happens all the time.

But also, the person making the claim, that is you, should be providing the evidence. You being too lazy to do your own homework doesn't make your case convincing, even more so when you immediately backtrack after claiming 4 swing states had more votes for Senate than president, and then saying you meant something else. If you had stated your position more accurately and/or provided evidence, it might be more convincing. Well that or you might realize you're pushing an unsupported conspiracy theory.

Whichever it was, the ZERO VOTES IS HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS. That's why the suit is proceeding.
