I'm rather curious what everyone thinks. How bad do you think the cheating is? Like for example, do you think Fulton county and Atlanta are actually red, but they just cheat that badly there. Or perhaps it's a swing county in reality, or maybe it's actually blue, just nowhere near as much as they make it out to be.

Let's be honest, Memphis and Nashville had cheating, probably Knoxville and Chattanooga to a lesser extent. Plus Tennessee uses dominion. so there was undoubtedly vote flips. Just goes to prove how red Tennessee is though, since despite all that cheating, they still turned out to be one of the reddest states in the union. I'd imagine with no cheating they're probably in the 30-40% red advantage range.
True dat. So there is this concept called "wasted votes" that applies to states where there is a preponderance of one party or the other. Example: Illinois is so Blue that some of those votes are considered (by this theory) to be "wasted" and could have been used more effectively in other states that are NOT as Blue. The Blue candidate was going to win no matter what the turnout. But on rare occasions, such as the election in Tennessee, those "wasted" votes actually turn out to be helpful, in that they staved off some tepid cheating attempts.
A local talk-show host here in Knoxville posed a question for his upcoming show this evening, "What would it take for you to trust elections again?"
For me, it would take long prison sentences and maybe a lynching or two, and an entirely NEW batch of people who have been sufficiently impressed and educated about what happened to their predecessors. Maybe take them out to see the hanging bodies, and then swear them in.
And maybe -- MAYBE -- then I will trust elections again.
I actually looked up after the election which parts of Tennessee use Dominion machines. And it was only like one county in Nashville. Like around Franklin or something. But no, about 98% of TN didn’t use Dominion.
As far as I'm aware it's Memphis and Nashville that use dominion. There was a map floating around of machines that have that "weighted vote" feature and one of them is right where Memphis is.
Well I figure some areas use Dominion machines but label them under another label possibly. ESP in our blue areas. Overall I feel TN is secured, but would like to have an audit regardless. It’s the only way to be for certain. IMO every election should have random audits to various states each year(s).
Honestly I don't really think the machine matters. I mean, according to pillow man, EVERY machine regardless of make was hacked and switched votes to some extent. But I agree, every state should be audited at least once because of the last election, and then random audits going forward. I'd honestly rather have required annual audits in every state just to keep the shady crap down, but I'm not sure how feasible that is.
