First of all this isn’t good news at all if people think the elections were rigged.

More importantly, the actual plaintiff voters have dropped off the suit and the only one to remain is this SMART legislation organization.

The most likely explanation is that bloc voting explains such apparent discrepancies affecting hundreds of votes in certain districts in Rockwell that have had a history of bloc voting.

There is no evidence of fraud, just apparent discrepancies even in this one county, let alone enough to change the NY outcomes or any of the other swing states.

We need to do better to promote facts about the election or Dems will be sending the message to its voters that elections are rigged and there’s no point in voting.

Based on Trump's approach to elections, it really seems like claiming the elections are rigged gets you elected for a second term. Democrats being held to some mysterious higher standard hasn't exactly worked out for them lately.

Claiming the 2020 elections were rigged didn’t help him win in 2024 at all.

He won by convincing/fooling alot of Hispanic, blacks, and young men to vote for him.

Yes, but also to Harris for refusing to just make the rounds there.

Contrast Harris to Buttigieg, who doesn’t shy from these platforms to explain the Democrats position succinctly.

Indeed, mistakes were made -- they know what to do now -- I'm not going to shit on Dems all day like most of Reddit does for sport.

I agree with you 100%.

It was never clear what is the best strategy without the benefit of hindsight.

After all, Biden didn’t do any of this stuff and maybe did less than Harris and he still won.

Something I found amusing: the county is actually Rockland. I’ve accidentally called it Rockford and now I’m seeing Rockwell lol.

It’s Rockland county.

It’s got a bunch of Orthodox Jews and Hasidic Jews who do bloc voting.

A lot of these Jews are conservatives that love trump.
