To be clear, I'm not saying the counts shouldn't be investigated, I'm saying I personally don't think the final result would change - because more American voters are ignorant/awful than I'd like to admit.

1.9 million less voted for Harris *in her own state* than Biden. Either those results are rigged or people underestimate racism and sexism in the US + how important it is to have a full primary season vs. pres bowing out at the last minute.

2/2 But losing 1.9 million votes in her home state tells the story IMO. She is also down hundreds of thousands in blue uncontested states (even >100,000 in uncontested red states like Mississippi) tells me Biden '20 voters just stayed home. I doubt that CA numbers were fudged in a meaningful way.

1/2 While I don't dispute there were irregularities, I can't see how there's 800k of them in NY. Harris was down almost 2 million votes to Biden '20 in her home state of California, 480K in Illinois and 440K in New Jersey. I have these numbers because I too, wondered WTF happened.

Were you aware that Harris had less votes than Biden '20 in 47 out of 50 states? She had 800k less in NY, seems unlikely much voting cheating there. Same story for so many other states, red and blue alike. Trump didn't pick up many from '20, but Harris was down nearly *everywhere* v. Biden
