The reporting errors were presumably a consequence of the results tapes not being programmed to a format that was compatible with state reporting requirements. Attempts to correct this issue appear to have created errors. The reporting errors did not consistently favor one party or candidate but were likely due to a lack of proper planning, a difficult election environment, and human error.

The discrepancies did not affect the outcome of any of the elections, but they did add to a growing list of defeats for Trump’s election lies.

    Most republicans don’t actually care about cheating as long as it benefits them. Republicans didn’t say shit when Bush Jr got elected by hook and crook.

        Plus Roberts makes three in total.

        Let me reiterate that: an entire third of the current Supreme Court worked in furtherance of a successful Republican coup 24 years ago.

        And Kavanaugh was one of the lawyers who was investigating Clinton in one of the most obviously politically-motivated independent counsel investigations in modern history

        Dude was pushing Q Anon theories before it was cool

        Kavanaugh also argued in favor of investigating the suicide of Vince Foster, the White House deputy counsel, even though two prior investigations had already concluded that his death was a suicide.
