@Les_Aker@HeathMayo No it’s not that I don’t like the answer it’s that I don’t understand how those numbers lead to your conclusion.
Also what’s the matter? Did you realize you actually did claim that there was fraud in the first post and delete it thinking I wouldn’t see it?
@SitDownStar@Les_Aker@HeathMayo The Democrats have been able to keep up with the shift by flipping wealthier educated suburbs. Just look at the most educated counties.
2012>2020
Falls Church 69%>81%
Arlington 69%>80%
Los Alamos 48%>61%
Howard 59%>71%
Boulder 70%>77%
@SitDownStar@Les_Aker@HeathMayo Anyone being honest will admit no such thing because it’s a lie. Bellweather counties up to this point were largely white, older, poorer, and less educated. Those demographics have traditionally been very swingy but since Trump has come on the scene they’ve shifted to the GOP.
@SitDownStar@Les_Aker@HeathMayo I think I’ve made a pretty compelling case that simply looking at those numbers does not indicate fraud when you have just a little bit of knowledge about elections and history.
@SitDownStar@Les_Aker@HeathMayo That’s not what was being argued. I accept that Trump won those elections. I think he committed crimes the whole time but the votes were valid. Regardless that’s not the subject. The subject of this argument is whether it was SELF EVIDENT by looking at the numbers there was fraud
@SitDownStar@Les_Aker@HeathMayo How are my numbers statistical manipulation? I’m just showing you historical precedent.
I’m actually in favor of paper ballots! I agree it’s a good thing to have a paper trail!
I would support voter ID if the ID were free of charge. Otherwise it’s a poll tax.
@SitDownStar@Les_Aker@HeathMayo Again in 2004 17 million more people voted than in 2000. The population was only 80% of what it is today. The median population age also increased by three years. There are more voters and they voted in higher numbers
This is weak sauce.
@SitDownStar@Les_Aker@HeathMayo 17 million more votes in 2004 than in 2000. At a time when the population was only 80% of what it is today. Population is also getting older on average which means more of the population is eligible to vote.
@Needmorepudds@inkblotPrincess Oh okay sorry I’m having stupid arguments on Twitter when I shouldn’t be bothering so sorry if I came off as a dick. Hope your day is good.
@Needmorepudds@inkblotPrincess “Clav’s thing” means it’s part of his worldview. His worldview is wrong. But additionally for his worldview to be right not only would his underlying theory have to be correct but he would ALSO have to be the most attractive person for his entire worldview to be vindicated.
@SitDownStar@Les_Aker@HeathMayo You’re literally not even accounting for all the ballots. One of the reasons the 2016 to 2020 shift appears so large when you look at the two major party candidates is because third party candidates got twice as much in support in 2016 than in 2020.
@SitDownStar@Les_Aker@HeathMayo Well no because it is what I’m arguing. You clearly don’t understand elections. If I say “there was a 6% increase in voter turnout” anyone who has ever even casually researched an election they would know that it means.
@SitDownStar@Les_Aker@HeathMayo I’m not trying to embarrass you but next time before you call someone a liar maybe look up if you maybe aren’t understanding their argument. Voter turnout has always been measured this way. There’s a little graphic on each election page. It’s not obscure.
@SitDownStar@Les_Aker@HeathMayo Again we’ve seen a decrease of 7% before (92-96) so an 6% increase, while high, is not at all indicative of anything other than normal fluctuations voter engagement.
