Now, did you actually ask NBC News to verify that the 65m number includes requests for early in-person votes? Because I don't see the point in continuing this if you're not gonna be serious

I don't understand what you're trying to say here

45 million early in person votes Plus 65 million mail in ballot requests according to your calculation. Equals 110 million votes When there were only 88 million total m i or e i p votes. Or else 22 million mail in ballots weren't counted.

Yes, you're right, that would leave about 22 million ballots requested but not returned. That seems high - but most of those are probably from states like California that mail a ballot to every registered voter. Some people didn't vote, others didn't return their ballot because they voted in person

...Or 24 million mail in and early in person votes too many, as I stated. Either way something is drastically wrong even before one sees Dr Steven J Miller's report.

The election was rigged just the way Trump said it would be, only in his favor.

Yes, I did ask them. No link to whatever 'wolfram alpha' is ?

How did you ask them? What exactly did they say?

WolframAlpha is just a calculator. I took the number of mail-in ballots requested from the NBC News state election results pages (like the Florida one I linked earlier) and added them all together. It came out to exactly 65,700,497

That's the number on the national NBC News page. But that page says it's mail-in *and* early in-person ballots requested. So either the national page is wrong or the state pages are

It has been updated. No corrections. You have to be willfully ignoring that something is drastically wrong with both mail in and early in person voting to keep contending it is an error in a professional news organizations' math. Or you are trolling. If so, Ty, because I really want to know.

I'm not trolling. MAGA made a lot of similar claims in 2020 - including the one you linked to earlier - because they didn't understand the data they were looking at. I just don't want to make the same mistake

NBC News may be a professional news organization but their access to election data is limited. You can see right on their page that there is missing data from 4 states (MO, KY, MS, AL) plus DC. If there really are discrepancies in early voting numbers I'd want to see it from an official source

(By official source I mean something like the website of a state's Secretary of State or a county's Board of Elections)

Where is that posted ? I've always had to search newsites online for election results.
