      That’s a single county in one state which Harris already won, and the expert that they consulted said

      In any case, it does not appear that any of these inconsistencies would be sufficient to change the outcomes of any of the elections in question in New York state.

        If you actually read the article, the goal of the lawsuit is not to overturn the results of the 2024 election, cause democrats aren’t like you. The goal of the lawsuit, limited to one county in NY state, is to uncover what irregularities there were in the tallying of votes in that one county in NY, cause if it’s as bad as the lawsuit alleges, then the voting machines themselves were tampered with. But you don’t care about that as long as the cheaters are on your side of the aisle

          I’m not sure what you’re talking about. I did read the article. That’s how I found that bit that I quoted.

          Yes, cheating is bad, regardless of who does it, and I think that this should be investigated. Why did you bring it up?

        “Election analysts have pointed to statistical anomalies that emerged in Democratic-leaning areas. In several precincts, reports suggest Kamala Harris’s name may have been missing from the top of the ballot, while other Democratic candidates received strong support. Some districts reportedly recorded zero votes for Harris, despite voter turnout favoring Democrats in other races.

        In contrast, Donald Trump’s vote totals reportedly exceeded those of Republican Senate candidates by hundreds of thousands of votes in certain counties. Experts have noted that such a discrepancy is highly unusual, as presidential and Senate candidates typically perform within similar margins, particularly in partisan strongholds.”

        This was presented before a judge, in the NY Supreme Court, and it has proceeded to discovery, as allowed by the judge

          There’s a big difference between a judge saying you can proceed to Discovery and you getting up in front of a judge and swearing to tell the truth or face perjury charges. That’s the bar. That’s when all those lawsuits in 2020 failed. Because none of them would risk being disbarred or jailed. Once you get to that point I’ll start giving more credence. But I wish them the best of luck in Discovery.

            Well almost zero of Trumps 2020 election lawsuits met even the low bar of proceeding to discovery, and were dismissed outright, including 30 lawsuits that were dismissed after a hearing on the merits. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-election_lawsuits_related_to_the_2020_U.S._presidential_election) So when you said, “presented before a judge” I took you at your word. What you should have said was “proceeded to trial” because that’s when you do all the swearing in. Or depositions- but that’s part of discovery, which this suit about the 2024 election is already in, so technically if there are any depositions taken, people are already swearing oath right now. So I guess by either definition this trial is one to take seriously.
