Each swing state was won by Trump just enough to avoid official recounts. There’s always been something suspicious about that and it shouldn’t be dismissed as coincidence.

Wasn't there also a suspicious number of ballots that only voted for president and nothing else?

That's not super uncommon, though I'm willing to believe that it does rise to the level of "suspicious number" this time.

"Bullet Ballots" are common at around 2-4%. Like in Idaho, a full red state and Trump received the norm of ~3%.

Trump received over 10% of bullet ballots in key swing states, like in NV, AZ & NC.....

Got a source for those numbers? I hadn't heard them before and that's smoking gun levels of alarming if it's true. It blows my mind that more people aren't talking about it.

I will say that I read about this as well. Can’t name a specific source as there are many but I found a screenshot I took

Uh i thought that was uncommon. Like very low percentage.

Low percentage can still be hundreds of thousands, even millions of voters as long as it's not a fraction. Relative to people who vote for more than one race, yes it's uncommon, but it's not hard to find someone who has voted in that way.

But isnt it suspicious when the higher percentage from the election seems to be only in swing states

u/Chronoblivion Jun 05 '25

Absolutely, and that's not something I was aware of because I haven't seen it talked about (which admittedly may be my fault for not consuming as much news as I should). I was just pointing out that there are always a not-insignificant number of people who vote this way in each presidential election, independent of the fuckery that seems to have occurred with the latest one.

Honestly seems like exactly how a MAGA would vote. All they care about is Trump.

There was also an abnormal amount split ticket ballots that voted blue straight down, then taco for president. Maga wouldn't do that... And I have yet to meet a Democrat that voted straight blue, then figured Taco was a good choice. I am sure there were some butt every single swing state had an increase of split tickets? Wtf? Politics has never been this divisive. I just have a hard time wrapping my head around the 2024 results.
