Not for advice, no. But if they want to learn why there were Republicans who didn't vote for Trump without it being fraud, it'd be smart to listen to those Republicans, right? It would explain why Biden got more votes than they expected. It's research that leads to a good answer.

The House of Representatives and the Senate are also federal; and technically, you're voting for state electors, and not the President. But the real problem is the electoral system. In no other country is the outcome of an election in doubt where one candidate leads the other by 4.4% in the...

I recommend reading the article in full; I've tried to excerpt it, but it's probably lost some readability in the process, and it's still very long anyway. Source: https://medium.com/curiouserinstitute/a-game-designers-analysis-of-qanon-580972548be5 A Game Designer’s Analysis Of QAnon...

Why The Numbers Behind Mitch McConnell’s Re-Election Don’t Add Up [..] McConnell racked up huge vote leads in traditionally Democratic strongholds, including counties that he had never before carried. There were wide, unexplained discrepancies between the vote counts for presidential candidates...

There are no "statistical anomalies" in the vote shifts in the "battleground" states if you compare them to other states: What we should do, though, is consider the broader context for Navarro’s claims. He focuses on the six states that have been targeted by Trump since the election. We’ve...

I found an article on "White House trade adviser Peter Navarro’s 30-page compilation of President Trump’s voter-fraud greatest hits" which concludes that it's a Gish Gallop: One of the hallmark characteristics of rhetoric from the White House is the substitution of volume for value. Trump...

Georgia is the only state using the Dominion barcode-based BMD system statewide as the mandatory voting method for all in-person voters. Is Antrim County using that model? From page 103/104: During the court-authorized testing of the Dominion equipment supplied by Fulton County, Coalition...

No problem! You did find good sources; and it's difficult to find current authoritative sources on this issue, as I've experienced myself.

And also quoted in my own post above yours. ProMED mail mostly digests press sources. In this case, it's a BBC Health article from 6 days ago, posted at https://www.bbc.com/news/health-55308211 . Read the source at the bottom of my post; I found that through the "News" link at...

The claim has been making the rounds that there's a mutation in the UK that makes the virus "spread 70% faster". Boris Johnson, 19 December 2020 NERVTAG’s early analysis suggests the new variant could increase R by 0.4 or greater. Although there is considerable uncertainty, it may be up to...

If you think of smoke at music events, you'll remember that that smoke does not rise by itself. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTieaXAoLvU It really depends on what the air that the smoke is "embedded" in is doing. If you open an outside door, that usually creates some airflow due to...

"No, dad... that's fake news" -- "But how can it be fake if it says exactly what I think?" Bonus:

There is no way to tell if the smoke is in front or behind because the pole is as bright as the smoke. It looks the same in both cases. Don't be fooled by an optical illusion!

That is partially correct. The source that Mick quoted cites the applicable law: 3 USC Ch. 1: PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS AND VACANCIES §5. Determination of controversy as to appointment of electors If any State shall have provided, by laws enacted prior to the day fixed for the appointment of the...

That's the problem in a nutshell. The Trumpers thought that Trump would win the election again, based on the fact that Trump had those big rallies and Biden didn't, that Biden had been talked down to them ("senile"), that they thought Trump was doing a good job, god was on his side, and QAnon...

How did you arrive at that conviction? I'd think it'd be pretty difficult to spot a whale if you're flying a jet across the water.

Oh, ok. When I watched the video, it had a noticeable stutter at one point, and I assumed that was what you had noticed. Your other pictures show a more regular sequence of dots. I'm not really clear on what kind of trajectory you expect. If this trajectory is supposed to be straight, have you...

Looks like maybe the camera is dropping some frames? These frames may have gotten lost in transmission, and in that case, the video system repeats the frame that is already in the buffer; this looks like the moving object is pausing for a very short time and then jumping ahead.

Sure, let's go with that. 1960 (boldface mine): On 1 July 1960 a Soviet MiG-19 shot down an American RB-47H reconnaissance aircraft in the international airspace over the Barents Sea with four of the crew being killed and two captured by the Soviets: John R. McKone and Freeman B. Olmstead. The...

Deirdre, the 2005 event we're talking about here was about disenfranchisement of predominantly *black* Americans in Ohio. This year, you could hear thousands around the world on a similar issue: As the protests continued in the United States for a second week in response to the killing of...
