I want audits and hand counts in EVERY STATE that went against the polling.

[BComplex]

Every race needs to be audited. Until that happens, the country is not safe. Our democracy is going to remain in unbelievable in the eyes of the world.

We owe it to ourselves, and Biden, and all the senators, should not accept defeat until the audits are complete.

There has been way too much gerrymandering with the courts, the votes, and the polls to just sit back and accept this cluster f***.

1. I have no objection to auditing, but what does polling have to do with it?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. I think the OP is suggesting auditing every state (district? Precinct?) where

the vote totals were substantially different from the polls. Not sure how to do that.

[brooklynite]

5. That's my point: what's the basis for "different from the polls" as a measure?

Polls are a private entity. Polls require a buy in by the people surveyed. Polls require assumptions of turnout by the pollsters.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. That's the problem.

I don't think an audit is the answer to the poll problem because polls typically interview only about 1,000 people, so how do you know whether any of those 1,000 people even voted, or for whom?

3. I'm sure the close states will be reviewed. But whatawedo if it goes the other way?

[Maraya1969]

10. I can't see that happening. Pollsters need a new way to find people willing

to answer polls. Using people who happen to answer the phone doesn't seem to be cutting it.

That being said how can the polls be so wrong again?

[Hoyt]

19. Honestly, if pollsters are considered "scientists," I ain't trusting their science anymore.

Clearly, they are missing some voters in their polls and/or not detecting less than truthful responses.

4. Paper ballots saved us? They are verifiable. We need to stick with paper.

[JaneQPublic]

6. No one is even mentioning foreign interference.

It was just a month or two ago when U.S. Intelligence announced findings that Russia and maybe even Iran and China, were meddling in our election.

Then the election comes and the results don't match polls, but no one says a word about Russia.

[crimycarny]

16. I know, right???

Media, etc just keep talking about how off the polls were. The polls are our canary in the coal mine! The polls should be a big red flashing warning sign that something is off, way off.

I want a f*cking forensic investigation into whether or not the electronic vote tallies match the paper receipt.

7. FL way underestimated Cuban-American sentiment. trump gained 200k over 2016.

Biden was close to 2016 numbers for Clinton.

[crimycarny]

9. I agree!

We need to get to answer the question, once and for all, of whether or not votes are being manipulated by outside actors. I’m tired of the lack of oversight and NO investigation.

The Mueller Report said they found “no evidence” votes were changed in 2016, but it goes on to say there was never any forensic investigation into whether or not votes were changed. Well of course you’re not going to find evidence if you don’t do an investigation!!

[BComplex]

14. That's all I'm saying, crimycarny.

It's time to do a forensic audit of our elections.

[crimycarny]

18. I'm with you 1000%

How lame is the US that they don’t even investigate? Putin must be shaking his head in amusement at how easy it turns out he can control our election. What country doesn’t even LOOK for interference?

[LisaL]

11. And I want to be a queen of England.

Polls aren't always accurate. You can't demand a recount based on polls.

[crimycarny]

20. How about based on evidence Russia has hacked into our voting machines?

And our intelligence agencies warned about it? They also stated they believed Russia has the capability to change voting tabulations. Based on that intel alone there should be an investigation to see if Russia interfered with the vote. Polls being way off could be a good indicator of where to start first.

12. ***VOTER SUPPRESSION !!*** It works, pollsters minimize and dems ignore it by say "just vote" as

... if "just voting" negates suppression

[LisaL]

15. Voting does negate suppression, if many people go out there and vote.

That didn't exactly happen in many states.

[uponit7771]

17. Lets see how this thinking keeps working going forward, if people can't "just vote" then that doesn'

... negate voter suppression.

Getting rid of voter suppression negates voter suppression, there's really no other fact based way to explain how the polling in the US can be so weighted towards republicans for so long in the US

[Rice4VP]

13. The White women lied...end of story

More of them voted for him this time than last time

[Tribetime]

22. I agree Ohio had requested 3.2 million ballots and somehow

This morning it now says 3.6 million were requested ?

[ecstatic]

23. Exactly. The cheating we know about is horrifying enough

The attempt to take down the US postal service? The ridiculous Court battles? Trying to force Kanye West onto the ballot? That's just the stuff we know about. God only knows what's happening behind the scenes.

His mishandling of the coronavirus alone should seal his fate. I'm not buying that the majority of Americans want to sign up for.... basically no end in sight to this nightmare.
