That was a good speech by his standards. Hopefully he keeps a lid on things for the next 2 weeks.

lmao. I love it. Please show me where the polling mirrored the election. That's a special kind of stupid. The polling had Biden winning everything by much more than the false numbers. Did the polling look spot-on in 2016 to you as well?

Trying to teach a cow to talk will just not happen, and they give up, they leave and never try again. We can only show you the evidence, it is up to you to be able to understand it.

So you’re proof is that there must be fraud because the polls said Biden should have won by more?
Wouldn’t that mean Trump winning was even more improbable?

I know this won’t do anything, you’ll say it’s all fake, but here are 3 videos that explain exactly why all the “this is mathematically impossible” arguments are outright wrong.

https://youtu.be/ua5aOFi-DKs
https://youtu.be/etx0k1nLn78
https://youtu.be/aokNwKx7gM8

I know you won’t watch those, but I’d love to hear why we should believe you, who has presented no numbers, over a pretty well respected mathematician with no skin in the game.

Go ahead show me any evidence that isn’t refuted by that.

So the Democrats, Jews/Soros, Bill Gates and the pedophile lizard people with help from the reverse Vampires rigged an election to give their candidate less votes than he actually got as per the pre election polling and while they were there they decided not to give them selves a super majority in the Senate because they like to keep things interesting I guess, it's a wonder these morons were able to pull off 9/11 and the fake moon landings.

But yes, if you take the time to look at the statistical data, proven through multiple different methods, you would see, through no other speculation, that the numbers that have been certified are mathematically impossible and in other cases mathematically improbable to degrees your brain couldn't comprehend.

If you want to take a look, do it yourself, compare the standard deviation of voting turnout in PA as an example, compare it to the past 5 elections just to save time. Do it yourself. Let me know your results.
Are you saying because Biden got 5.5% more vote in PA than the previous Democratic record and Trump got 13.7% more than the previous Republicans record that Trump committed electoral fraud? That seems like a stretch to me, but I am willing to be convinced.

I'm assuming this is the "big-brained" garbage you're trying to sell here?

The posts, such as those here and here , show graphs that compare candidate’s vote tallies by leading digit to the expected distribution according to Benford’s law in order to contend that Biden’s vote tallies do not follow Benford’s Law but Trump’s do. Posts state that Benford’s law is a test that has been used before to detect fraud (here) . Captions on the posts include, “Joe Biden’s votes violate Benford’s Law”; “It’s easy to win if you cheat”; “Statistically impossible odds […] now MATH doesn’t even agree with their faux victory.”

Theodore P. Hill, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Georgia Tech, Atlanta, cautioned that regardless of the distribution uncovered, the application of Benford’s Law would not provide definitive evidence that fraud took place.

“First, I'd like to stress that Benford's Law can NOT be used to "prove fraud",” he told Reuters by email. “It is only a Red Flag test, that can raise doubts. E.g., the IRS has been using it for decades to ferret out fraudsters, but only by identifying suspicious entries, at which time they put the auditors to work on the hard evidence. Whether or not a dataset follows BL proves nothing.”

You’ve shown zero evidence.

In a day of misinformation, I really encourage doing it on your own. being shown math that you already have a predisposition towards, makes you much more likely to just find something obscure to discredit it. However, if you do the research on your own, learn how to do some math that isn't overly difficult, and look at your own results, I think it has a much more empowering effect.

You made the claim, dip####. Onus is on you to provide the evidence to support it. I know Trumpers have issues understanding the concept of evidence, but it's generally required for people in reality to take you seriously.

Who blackmailed him into smartening up and presidenting for 5 minutes?

Is he that desperate to not lose Twitter?

That really speaks to me. Hey, you know what? Maybe you will have a good faith discussion. Maybe you won't lean on lies and mistruths. Maybe you won't twist the facts to suit your narrative.

On second thought... I'm good.

I'm really disappointed. You said you'd make my brain bigger, you big data analyst, you.
