33. to call such 'musings' creditable analysis - gives a good illustration of why
Sun Jan 4, 2026, 01:42 PM
Jan 2026

these 'arguments' are routinely discredited and dismissed. And every practitioner of logic out there is going to immediately point to the fallacy (and disservice) of equating, 'could happen - with did happen - or probably happened'. That is not 'evidence' and that is not proof - which is why the people on the side of 'proof', keep insisting, "Show us where it did happen!" Where are your 'results'?

And, yes, despite your rather dumbfounding suggestion to the contrary (which further discredits the argument) - voting machines (and tabulators) are routinely tested (verified) - oftentimes both before and after elections - against physical and controlled standard. If the state/county/precinct where you live ISN'T doing so - ask them why. Because it most certainly is considered best practice, and standard among voting system and election officials.
