    I’m very much against conspiracy theories, especially concerning our elections which are administered by many many independent entities. I was very concerned as I watched electronic voting machines - especially without paper trails - become more and more popular over the past 30 years. Even more as the industry consolidated and it came down to a handful of private, for-profit manufacturers.

    The thing I’ve read about that is keeping the door of conspiracy open in my mind is the “drop off” rate, which has to do with the number of “President only” ballots, where only the President is chosen, and no down ballot votes are cast.

    Apparently Trump’s ballots have an unusually high - like statistically unlikely - drop off. And it’s either only in or mostly in/more pronounced in swing states.

    Even Chris Titus picked it up (3 hrs total, sorry)
