According to these CNN exist polls, 53% of respondent voters were women, and 47% were men. 54% of female respondents voted for Harris, 44% for Trump. 54% of male respondents for Trump and 44% for Harris. That means Harris should win the popular vote, if these polls are indicative of the election as a whole. But, she isn’t winning the popular vote, she’s losing by more than five million votes. That must mean that many more women than men voted on election day, but many more men than women voted early and/or by mail/absentee. Isn’t that kind of odd? You’d think the gender breakdown of mail in and early voting would be roughly the same as election day voting. The only other thing I can think of is these exit polls just aren’t indicative of the election broadly. Maybe CNN’s exit polls aren’t capturing a large or diverse enough sample size?

    But you would need a massive operation to account for millions of ballots.

    Not really…look at X and how successful it’s been on changing the discourse of the US. I don’t think an election would even take that scale of tomfoolery. Maybe the US really is this big of a steaming pile of shit, but I don’t buy it.

      There’s a big difference between how a single (now private) company operates vs. a voting system which is decentalized to each state (and even each county). Fuckigng with the actual votes will be detected.

      Now, if you’re saying that X is fucking with everyone’s minds and lying to them to get them to vote for Trump, you may be right there. But in that case, they don’t need to also try and mess with the actual voting process.
