    The Democratic Party WILL rig the general election. Hell, they’ll probably work with Republicans to get their candidate in over Mamdani.

    Who owns the machines? Is the software audited? Are there tabulation servers involved?

      They have paper backups that can be audited. If they annouce that Mamdani lost, Mamdani can demand a paper recount.

      I don’t think BlueAnon conspiracy theories really help voter turnout. Sounds like: “Don’t bother voting, they’ll just rig it”

      Realistically, they wont rig the election, Mamdani will win and become Mayor, then City Council is gonna block every policy that he wants to implement. Unless there are 26 progressives in City Council that are aligned with Mamdani, the legislature is gonna be the real roadblock.

      I don’t know if they’ll rig the actual vote directly but the DNC will most certainly spend hundreds of millions to make him look like the devil incarnate leading up to the election even if it means getting a Republican in office. They already did this in 2016 and 2024.
