Ummm the votes aren't counted but they have been received and accepted, which means the voters' names and parties are known. We were getting numbers of voters by party for weeks before election day as mail-in ballots were received. But you're getting a lot of upvotes so clearly you must be right anyway.
Long shot, but it would be funny af if kamal ends up winning the popular vote
She won’t. But this post is misinformation and should probably be removed.
I get what your saying and I agree, but it's funny/sad that you could add all 5 million of those votes to the Dems and the graphic would still be making the same point.

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them..."
They've told you with the "eating the dogs" comments and hundreds of other examples... They aren't afraid to confidently lie to win...
They've told you they believe they are in a way that they would die and kill to win...
Remember, years of false, unsubstantiated outrage is meant to dilute challenge to actual crimes and horror. Some things to think about...
And here's more about voting systems experts that tried to warn early about potential issues like this
We can have measured confirmation, without conspiracy. We will review this election and make evidence-based arguments.
The richest man in the world owns thousands of SW engineers that remain in his companies (after all with any morality have been purged through years of labor abuse). He joked with carlson about how he was completely fucked if trump didn't win. What do you think the richest man in the world is capable of in that moment?
I still find it more likely that most of America is just very misogynist and in denial about it.
It is surprising that the presidential Democratic candidate finally lost a popular vote after 20+ years, but currently it appears that she just lost. Sure, do a recount of a sample of suspected precincts. I am going to continue to believe that this is a conspiracy theory until substantiated evidence of fraud is provided.
As an aside, those images are small and I could barely read them (zooming didn't increase image size).

Do you have more information on that claim that Starship was being used for tabulation in swing states?
Looks like that Kathleen person is making that claim, I'd reach out to them if you'd like expansion. I'm not on Twitter so can't engage further. If anything, I imagine "starship" would be a common spell check correction of "starlink" as it's a made up marketing word. To that, seems she'd be referring to the recently discussed rumors about musk starlink satellites somehow being involved in the collection/transmission of vote counts in some areas (I haven't looked into or seen any direct evidence of that specifically), alongside things like Joe rogan just saying that musk "had an app" and he "knew the election result 4 hours before it was called".
I'm more interested in hearing more about the "under ballot" concerns and the person outlining the simple way to get clarity here with strategic confirmation of votes in a couple counties with especially prevalent shifts as illustrative of larger potential issues.

Republicans cry foul with every election. The Dems should call for a recount too.
We should always do a recount.

People need motivation to vote. A selective tax credit or "other guy bad" simply isn't enough. You can complain all you want about how stupid people are for not voting against fascism, but if you cannot face the reality of voters and how to get them to vote then how much smarter can you really call yourself over others? This is a lesson that apparently needs to be learned every election yet never seems to be learned.
One of my team members is based in the US, and he told me after the election: "The media told us all about how bad Trump was. But nobody ever told us how good Kamala was." I guess voting only for the lesser evil has its limits.
Honestly not even Kamala said how good she was, most of what she was asked she immediately turned into "Trump bad".
Honestly a lot of the questions in interviews were she did that, she was given a tough question that had the easy out of taking the more progressive stance but instead of giving a firm answer she'd attack Trump, presumably because she didn't want to be too "radical" in supporting policies that voters generally like
Progressive issues poll astronomically high across dems, repubs, and independents. Find one. Say you will do it, and people will come vote for it.

The problem also is that there was quite a bit of voter intimidation of people with Trump flags heavily armed in some places "to make sure it's a fair election", Trump supporters choosing violence, and other issues like ballot boxes being burned, and ballots not coming to people preventing them from voting.
This could help explain why 10 million less votes happened this year for the Democrats because they could have been fearful of voting or just unable.
(And this also doesn't include mailing ballots just being refused to be counted over simple issues as signatures not looking close enough to what's on file.)
Truly spoken.
Lot of pro-status-quo sentiment on Lemmy. The election is over too so bots might not be as high, a potential indicator of actual sentiment of Lemmings.
Have to keep pushing this else nothing ever changes

The ones who didn't show up elected Trump. Good job, self-righteous dipshits.

I can believe that Trump won on the backs of "people voting only for Trump and no one else on the ballot", since Trump was running far ahead of all the other republican candidates. Means once Trump dies of old age, there will be a power vacuum. Remember, democrats have run two women and Biden in the decade span that republicans have only ran Trump.
where are the rest of the parties?
On the "no one cares about the other parties" graph
The others are saying no one cares or they don't matter, but they do if that's where those "missing" votes went
According to Wikipedia data, it's a decrease of 0.3 percentage points from 1.9% in 2020 to 1.6% of votes that didn't go democrat or republican.
Though 5% of the votes are still not reported, so that might change still.

In all the swing states they were less than the difference between the two parties.
Eessentially Democrats last i checked and calculated on Friday lost 4 swing states that would change the outcome by around 250k votes.

How did 10 million fewer Democrat voters, only +500k to Republicans, but have basically the same high voter turnout?
It's looking like a slightly lower turnout, but also there's 5+ million votes still to count. So Trump will gain votes even though turnout is down. Pretty bad times, never been more disappointed in the electorate.
