      A third of the eligible voters didn’t vote. If they had, this tiny marginal bullshit wouldn’t matter.

        Separate reply, this isn’t tiny marginal bullshit, we’re talking millions of votes

        This is bullshit and this group is likely just out there to cash in on the election. What they claim to be suspicious patterns is just basic statistics.

        If machines have a higher number of votes it is just to be expected that the spread of the results get smaller and towards the end result. The larger the sample size, the smaller the spread.

        And the early voting machines had up to 250 votes per machine, whereas the election day machines only had around 125. At least in the graphics this group used in their own report. If you scale the graphic of the early machines only until 125 votes per machine they look similar.

        Also on election day there were about 3000 machines as opposed to 1000. And here another basic truth comes up. If you repeat a sampling more often, the distribution of results becomes more even.

        These guys are just describing basic statistic effects and claiming them to be suspicious, probably to collect donations and run with the money. Also their website is dubious about who they are exactly and what their credentials are.

        There is legitimate criticisms and leads to investigate, but these guys are not one of them.

            i am not saying that there is no credible reasons to investigate if the election was done properly. however the “electiontruth” people do not provide any credible information for that. Also the video you linked does not seem to be about making a calm and proper argument, but rather to rile people up.

            Again it is not impossible, that there have been irregularities, but it is something that needs to be analyzed and discussed properly. This is irrespective from needing to resist the Trump government, as it is a bunch of cirminals.

        Good evidence to add to the pile, thank you for bringing it up!
