    Worth mentioning this one probably has nothing to do with what you think it does. See here.

    Also worth mentioning that hacking machines isn’t the only way to interfere with an election. (I shouldn’t need to mention the potential for corruption when a small handful of people control voting blocs this large and important, but even that notwithstanding there’s good ol’ fashioned voter suppression that was applied liberally in 2024).

    They really reached hard for this one. It’s surrounded by precincts that often has 12, 7, 22, or 2 votes for Kamala.

    Have a look yourself. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/us/elections/2024-election-map-precinct-results.html?unlocked_article_code=1.7U4.rD4L.hErzvm3HZkgJ

    Yeah, I’m sure they cheated in the most red area of New York State of all places. It’s not like OP’s source took the entire list and sorted by Kamala votes to complain about the worst precincts in America.

    This is disinformation. It’s intended to get everyone to not trust any news or sources. Both 2020 and 2024 election results were valid. Look around you. The problem isn’t the numbers; it’s the people we know, and how they can’t be talked to. These maga hat wearing assholes exist, and in large numbers.

    I don’t find this that unbelievable. It’s 500 people. And it wasn’t that uncommon in some areas for people to vote Trump for president but non GOP down ballot.

      Statistically, it’s actually pretty unlikely to get zero votes even out of 500. The votes are anonymous and hell, even human error would suggest at least one of them bubbled it in my accident. All it takes is like one 18 year old troll voter, for instance.

      I’m not trying to say anything about the election, though, so much as just saying how unusual a 0 is in the real world given natural varience. I teach statistics, it’s just really weird to ever run into that unless it’s an error.
