The election is over. Right wing media is claiming that it's not. That's a lie. End of story.
- netsharc 6y agoTo elaborate: right wingers claim massive fraud, they claim to have evidence, but the cases they've taken to court have been flimisier than fifth grader writing assignments and have mostly been thrown out. To grandparent commenter: at a certain point you have to use a bit of your intelligence and see for yourself whether a claim is full of shit or has merit. Unfortunately this might be an example of Dunning-Kruger in action...
- themaninthedark 6y agoFrom my understanding, most of the cases that have been thrown out were due to lack of standing not evidentiary merit.
- oldfriend 6y agoThat's correct, many of the complaints have been dismissed for non-evidentiary reasons. The talking point that 50 cases have been dismissed is at best misleading. There have been a wide variety of complaints, in multiple jurisdictions, from multiple plantiffs, alleging a variety of facts. Drawing any single conclusion about the entirety of evidence based on this aggregation of dissimilars is tenuous at best. As they said, perhaps an example of dunning kruger in action.

- WalterGR 6y agoI'd like to point out that parent ketzo's comment - which describes reality - has been downvoted enough that it appears light grey. This means that there are enough voting members on HN motivated enough to downvote a comment describing reality - and an insufficient number of voting members motivated enough to upvote it - that a comment describing reality is downvoted. That's... highly disappointing.
