"Intense security" such as sending everyone home and then pulling out suitcases of ballots to scan them after the counting was supposedly paused?
Or like some random Karen putting USB drives in her pocket and doing God knows what with it?
Or maybe they mean voting machines being reset the day before the election after the final software audit was allegedly completed?
I might just go camping for a week after I vote and completely disconnect because it's going to be brutal watching them steal the white house again....
They may do the opposite. If Trump is winning the popular vote, they may start throwing thousands of votes away for failed signature matches and things like that. They would completely reverse themselves from 2020.
This is actually what they normally do with petitions. Petitions typically have a failure rate of 35% rejection of the signatures to keep ballot initiatives from going forward. But then they turn around and have an absentee ballot rejection rate of 1% or less because it's their votes.
They may, in fact, start throwing out republican votes en masse. Don't be surprised of absentee ballots get rejected up to 35% or more, depending on how the votes are looking.
That being said, it seems pretty clear we are on a "too-big-to-rig" path at the moment. Even with Covid, they were only moving the needle by 5%. With new laws in place, and with a popular vote win, we might be looking at them trying to figure out how to cheat by 7% in some states, with even less opportunity.
Unless it's a poll you like like Big Data Poll or Rasmussen, I would suggest explicitly lying to pollsters to throw off their campaigns strategy.
I guess I've lost more faith in our systems than you have because I just view it as them needing to take 8 days to announce the "winner" compared to 4 days in 2020.
The normal rigging is about 5%. With covid they pushed it another 5%, and that still wasn't enough, so they had to do an emergency late night ballot dump for the final 1-2%.
I'd expect 20% this time. They're not going to let it get out of control.
