    Generally speaking, a good test for fantastical thinking is when your theory relies on the same people displaying outlandish degrees of both competence and incompence at the same time.

    If the people who did this are good enough to pull off - and keep quiet - a fraud at this scale, how did they fuck up such an elementary component?

    If they’re capable of fucking up something that basic, how is it that they’ve failed to leave any other stunningly obvious evidence?

    Personally, I’m of the opinion that even apparently fair elections should be treated as active crime scenes. That’s how we do things in Canada. Everything is checked and rechecked. But this particular theory seems to have veered pretty far into moon landing territory.

      That’s what I’m saying look for other evidence, the anomaly is worth checking but doesn’t mean something nefarious happened.
