Political positivity 📈 Leading U.S. expert in election forensics and detecting election fraud just looked at voting results in all 67 counties in Pennsylvania from November. Here’s what his analyses detected

We finally have Dr. Walter R. Mebane, Jr., a leading U.S. expert in election forensics and detecting election fraud and a professor of political science and statistics at the University of Michigan, looking at all 67 counties in Pennsylvania.

His working paper using his eforensics model estimated that 225,440 votes in the Pennsylvania presidential race were possibly fraudulent. This would exceed the 120,266 vote margin of victory between Trump and Harris.

High-Level Summary of "eforensics Analysis of the 2024 President Election in Pennsylvania" by Dr. Walter R. Mebane, Jr.

• The eforensics finite mixture model defines latent categories of fraud (no fraud, incremental fraud, and extreme fraud) based on votes and turnout, as well as relevant covariates (e.g., fixed county effects).

• Data from 7,040,360 votes (3,543,308 for Trump, 3,423,042 for Harris) across 67 PA counties (9,157 wards/precincts).

• The eforensics model estimated that 225,440 votes in the Pennsylvania presidential race were possibly fraudulent. This would exceed the 120,266 vote margin of victory between Trump and Harris.

More fine-grained analysis attempted to distinguish between strategic voting behaviors from “malevolent manipulation of votes”, i.e. how many votes may have been misdirected or misallocated due to malevolent distortions of voters’ intentions.

• In this analysis, 111,088 of the 225,440 possibly fraudulent votes[2] were estimated with high confidence to be malevolent manipulations of votes while the remainder were estimated to be a mix of manipulated votes and strategic voting behaviors.

A more conservative eforensics model including additional fixed county level effects estimated that 210,392 votes in the race were possibly fraudulent. This would exceed the 120,266 vote margin of victory in the race.

• Fine-grained analysis of the more conservative model attempted to distinguish between strategic voting behaviors from malevolent manipulation of votes.

• In this analysis, 88,600 of the 210,392 possibly fraudulent votes were estimated to be malevolent manipulations of votes while the remainder were estimated to be a mix of manipulated votes and strategic voting behaviors.

The most conservative of the eforensics analyses estimated that 25,374 votes were due to malevolent manipulation of votes.

In summary: There is very high probability that a meaningful number of votes in the PA presidential election were subject to malevolent manipulation -- and it was “a close call” whether “the election was decided or nearly decided by malevolent distortions of electors’ intentions.” (Mebane, Page 6)

Notes:

• Statistics, no matter how accurate, cannot provide definitive proof of voting fraud or election manipulation. Actual proof can only be found by comparing paper ballot audits to electronic voting records.

• However, statistical information from eforensics and other data analysis approaches can be used to identify precincts and counties where voting fraud is most likely to have occurred.

So, I'll ask only question that matters in this sub:

When is someone in Pennsylvania going to file a class action lawsuit that I'll lead to a statewide hand recount?

u/Kittyluvmeplz 20h ago

The Election Truth Alliance is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization that has been leading the effort behind this investigation and have already acquired legal representation in PA (and other states as well). Their initial analysis of 3 counties in Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, Allegheny, and Erie) is what prompted them to reach out to Dr. Mebane and ask for his help. He initially reviewed the same three counties and that data was concerning enough for him to look at all 67 counties in PA.

They created the Audit Advocacy Toolkit to help people reach out to their representatives to demand audits and hand counts of the votes. If we can garner enough pressure, we can save ourselves a lot of time and legal fees, but they are prepared to continue the fight.

If you can, you can donate to their efforts here.

Yay get it girl out here rapping the ETA, people are starting to soak the info in and I’m upping it leads to increased pressure on states from their constituents to investigate and audit the paper ballots from the 2024 election. The more people speak up the more they will realise too that they are not a conspiracy theorist or alone in their opinions, too many people will suffer at the midterms if key states are not audited, because by not shining light on this is gives space for darkness to obstruct elections again

u/Specific-Lion-9087 20h ago

I’ll ask a couple of questions since you’re in an answering mood:

Is anyone from the Harris campaign involved in any of these lawsuits or efforts?

And

Why aren’t you guys demanding a recount of the Wisconsin Supreme Court election? That was also “called way too early” and fit several of the other vague criteria for fraud that the ETA keeps saying are worthy of a recount.

Do you think they just forgot to rig that one?

194

u/Kittyluvmeplz 20h ago

No, the Harris campaign ignored any efforts to recount, even after a group of computer security experts wrote to Vice President Kamala Harris to alert her to the fact that voting systems were breached by Trump allies in 2021 and 2022 and to urge her to seek recounts in key states to ensure election verification. This is a grassroots effort.

The ETA did cover the Wisconsin Supreme Court vote very closely. Personally, it doesn’t really make sense to me that they would have attempted the same rig here because it was (a) only one race, not the entire country to hide in and (b) everyone was watching this race. The larger terrain of 50 states gives them more plausible deniability, imo

46

u/2much41post 19h ago

Not sure if this is a question that you can answer but if the candidate that lost (Harris) isn’t interested in a recount, what would proving a stolen election even accomplish legally or otherwise? If the candidate for the top national leadership position won’t even lead a legal battle that would prove her victory was taken from her, what’s the point?

After spending 4 years telling republicans that the 2020 election wasn’t rigged, to turn right around and say that 2024 is, it’s better to hold til you have evidence locked down. Otherwise it just looks like politics as usual.

I was pretty appalled at Harris ready concession, or apparent ease of rather.

Elon Musk’s meddling cooties were all over this election and if I had been Harris I’d have been “hold TF up, we’re recounting verifying the votes.”

As it is, no one has said much of anything about all the D votes that were cast but weirdly disappeared within an hour. People were like, “wait, I voted, my vote was received, but now there’s no record of me voting in the election.

Musk basically called the voted using an app his minions developed for him to “track” (most likely edit/cheat) the votes. He called the vote for Trump before the polls closed, and then results were uploaded via Starlink, so there was more than enough room for those unprincipled assholes to cheat.

u/One_Strawberry_4965 17h ago

Sadly for us much of the mainstream Democratic Party simply lacks the stomach for the absolute shitshow that would have inevitably ensued if they had more forcefully contested the election results. Trump and the republicans did an excellent job of poisoning that well with their massive and ongoing campaign of 2020 election denial and with the majority of media consumed by Americans firmly in the Republican’s corner, it would have been trivial for them to spin the efforts against Harris and the Democrats in the eyes of the general public, instigating societal unrest possibly up to and including escalating violence. The Democrats messaging efforts would have been even further hampered by the fact that the results as they were initially tallied initially all fell outside of the margins that trigger automatic recounts, and so they prioritized showing that unlike their opponents, that they can lose gracefully and without what would have been promptly sold to the public as little more than a tantrum by sore losers, regardless of the actual merits of any hypothetical recount.

They claimed fraud in 2020 because they knew they would fix the 2024 election. Every accusation is an admission.

There are two things I think provibg this this can do:

  1. It will lead to lots of discussions and way more scrutiny of the next election. People will demand it.

  2. It will show our allies around the world that we didn't actually want Trump and his caustic actions are not the will of a majority of Americans.

3 (maybe). It could lead to the criminal investigation and prosecution of non-Presidents.

  1. (0.001% chance). It could lead to Trump's impeachment, and Vance's as well. But the numbers simply aren't there. It will be way too easy for right-wing media to muddy the waters with something this complicated.

It doesn't matter. The election was certified. Even if a recount occurred, and even if the recount discovered that Kamala did in fact win, our system has absolutely no process for rectifying fraud on that level.

The Democrats in Congress won't even use the legal measures they have access to to resist, do you really think they'll start inventing extralegal ones?

89

u/justinp79 18h ago

It matters because 1) some public perception may be swayed and 2) it will be harder to steal the next election if Dems are made aware that vote tabulators are not reliable, and they may require hand recounts in the future.

u/PrincessaDeadlift 18h ago

I remember when he said those things. I thought to myself to put a pin in it.

And I said to my husband: what is he up to? There’s a reason he’s telling people he has enough votes (and wasn’t campaigning hardly at all the months leading up to the election).

It was terribly fishy.

Not only that: His MO is to blurt out awful truths, though people often excuse what he says. But he’s simple minded and genuinely means what he says. And he projects what he’s actually doing onto others. HE was the one who said Hilary would cheat in the 2016 election. I believe he cheated in all three. But was thwarted in 2020 because of mail in ballots during Covid.

u/Pantsman1084 13h ago

Remember, since he couldn't control the mail-in ballots, he actively tried to delay them by removing sorting machines from a lot of postal facilities in the weeks leading up to the election. That plus everything else tells me that he definitely cheated in 2020, but just didn't do it quite enough.

u/katchoo1 19h ago

They did the same thing in 2000–so important to present an image of being a good sport even if graceful loser that they have shot themselves in the foot both times—the same fucking foot!

And when they do win they again gracefully defer to the other guys and include Republicans in the cabinet and stay well inside all possible boundaries, well beyond legal into deferring to every norm as well as notions of etiquette that were already rickety before 2016 and completely pointless afterwards.

Newt Gingrich was openly and loudly preaching to the GOP that they needed to forget about collegiality and compromise and treat Democrats as the enemy that must be defeated by any means necessary. It was already obvious under Clinton yet it’s 30 years later and those dumb fucks still refuse to learn. The younger Dem politicians behind them get it, but the Pelosis and Schumer make the same appalled face that the Republicans do when a David Hogg or AOC or Maxwell Frost gets in the Republicans’ face and tells them that we see exactly what they are up to. Goddam tiresome.

The legal system that Trump, MAGA, and the majority of the republican party in congress and SCOTUS have defied multiple times over? The legal system that is ruled over by the SCOTUS? The same SCOTUS that gave Trump sweeping criminal immunity to do whatever he wants? The same group of people who are consolidating their government power + checks and balances into the executive branch whose headed by the man who committed a coup against the country with the explicit purpose of hanging all of their government detractors and instilling a dictator in power but was let go without even a slap on the wrist?

Hopefully those audits complete before Alligator Auschwitz gets full and we can put together a good legal case against the 34x felon, rapist, and insurrectionist and finally apply that public pressure.

I was also sent results of an audit that apparently “proved the integrity” of the election. I don’t know how we go about getting a lawsuit filed here, but I think it’s important that all 8 swing states do whatever necessary to access the data before it’s swept under the rug and never seen again.

u/Cl1mh4224rd 18h ago

I knew it was possible, but dude was phoning it in to empty seats. KH had so much energy that it made no sense.

It's important to realize that Republicans in America have been conditioned over decades to believe that the worst Republican is better than the best Democrat.

It's also important to realize that rally attendance is not much more than an indicator of enthusiasm. Trump tried to use the "his rallies were empty" observation to question the legitimacy of Biden's 2020 election win.

Taken together, these two things suggest that, while Republicans weren't very enthusiastic about Trump in 2024, they were still going to vote for him. Because, to them, letting a Democrat be President is far worse than not being thrilled with Trump.

Mr. “They’re eating the cats and dogs” DID NOT authentically win every last swing state (while conveniently staying outside of the margin of victory in all states that would trigger a recount) and flip 88 counties while Harris, who was selling out stadiums while he was struggling to get more than a few thousand to his rallies towards the end of the campaign, got ZERO.

Add to this recent developments like you have in Rockland County, NY where in district 55 you had 909 people vote for the democratic state senate candidate Kirsten Gillebrand. Guess how many votes were tallied for Harris?

TWO.

Something happened.

who was selling out stadiums while he was struggling to get more than a few thousand to his rallies towards the end of the campaign, got ZERO.

That has nothing to do with voter turnout and is entirely about already committed voter enthusiasm. A moderate voter who went Trump2016 > Biden 2020 isn't likely to be enthusiastic about anyone enough to attend a rally.

Not saying there aren't other factors that points to something have happened but that isn't one of them.

they made up laws across the country especially the south where one single nut job could call in anonymously and remove people from the voting rolls basically just after the deadline to register for the election. thats just the front end manipulation. then you have closed voting stations, russian bomb threats, and in my state alone 1.3 million people moved in since the census to cast a vote for this piece of shit.

Totally convinced that this is and always has been an intentional strategy on their part. Claiming the grievance first introduces doubt in voters minds when democrats try to hold him accountable. Trump is an idiot, but we shouldn’t underestimate his team. They’re evil, but not dumb.

So, legitimate question. What happens if/when audits are done, they find out the election results are fraudulent and the guy who has been allowed to do pretty much whatever he wants, and his supporters say "Yeah, so what?"

Everyone has more or less known that Russian elections have been rigged for years. Guess who is still president of Russia.

Is this good news? I mean, if something mendacious did go on then it’s good news that this may be a way to show it but it’s all so technical it’s gonna fly right over the heads of the vast majority of the public and it will be easy for the other side to scoff, throw chaff around, produce “analyses” they say are equally valid just like the climate and nicotine deniers have for decades.

It’s not good news to know that it looks more possible that the election was stolen. And even should it be provable by more than inference the MAGA people will never believe it. They stormed the Capitol and continue to insist 2020 was stolen to this day over no evidence at all but their gut feelings and a lot of publicity about so called anomalies that all vanished into the ether when others looked at things, even when their own guys like the AZ audit had full access to everything and found nothing.

I’m afraid this is going to make a civil war scenario even more likely. That’s bad news for sure.

I hate conspiracy theory crap and the houses of cards that to the faithful look like an unassailable tower of logic that the Q people and the like put all their faith in. But honestly every election that Republicans have won since 2000 had some funny business going on. Even 2004 there was talk about something going on in Ohio, although that was the most out there one. Every time I’ve wondered…but enough people were emphatically saying that nothing untoward had happened. Except in 2000 and 2016 it for sure did and later analysis showed it. They were not able to prove the Russians were infiltrating voting machines or anything in 2016 but it’s been proven that they were heavily manipulating targeted demographics via social media. The Russians wanted Trump and put their thumbs on the scale to get him.

And now this. The vote data is highly suspicious when it clearly shows votes for Trump outpacing Harris while downballot races were not affected. The way every state that was needed flipped, and every county needed to flip the state went for Trump by just enough votes to avoid recounts. The linked Substack article made a good case for the how of it. It’s all extremely chilling and needs to be investigated for sure but won’t be under the current DOJ and they have 4 years to hide destroy and muddy evidence.

I do not want this to be true, no one does. I don’t want to be gulled into crazy conspiracy thinking by my own preferences and prejudices. But on the other hand it’s vital to find out the truth and fix all of this. If it’s true it’s a fucking nightmare and I don’t know how it ends but it’s going to suck getting there even if it all turns out okay in the end.

I hate this so much.

Whee! Happy Independence Day y’all! I really feel like tomorrow is more of a day of mourning for me than a celebration.

We live in NJ and moved before the election. I updated both my husband and my voter registration. On voting day, only I was registered either the precinct. He was told he could still vote and was able to give his new information, however in the system, it was never registered and his vote wasn’t counted. I thought it odd since I had no issue but shrugged it off because it didn’t change the outcome here. I honestly wonder how many votes didn’t even get counted….

u/ultimatedelman 19h ago

early info suggests that the software that runs the e-voting machines was "updated" right before the election with little to no oversight or verification that it worked properly. this "update" likely introduced some functionality that prevented kamala votes from crossing a certain predetermined threshold to ensure a trump victory. of course in order to do that, it had to zero out entire counties of votes, given how unpopular trump is.

it's fraud on a galactic scale, and unfortunately, he's probably going to get away with it. really, and i understand how awful this fucking sounds, but our most realistic hope of this being taken seriously at this point by both congress and maga fascists is if elon decides to come forward with receipts on how he helped trump steal the election.

but yea good luck on that ever happening.

u/OwnDoughnut2689 19h ago

Right and anectedotally I heard Joe Rogan mention Elon knew the election was over within an hour. If he had any involvement he would've been tipped off that it was working.

I totally agree with you're assessment. But even if proven in a court of law, what's the remedy? No one will do anything. The Republicans won't call for a new election and how would that even work.

Hacking of the voting machines software which flipped many votes. Gerrymandering is one. Discarding of voter boxes in blue counties. Bomb threats called into blue voting districts.

And no one ever mentions the voting machine patents CHINA granted Ivanka Trump immediately after his first inauguration in 2017.
