What issues in the US? I know in the last election the counts had anomalies but I don't think I've seen much beyond that. It doesn't really help that this line

What issues in the US? I know in the last election the counts had anomalies but I don't think I've seen much beyond that. It doesn't really help that this line of thought is completely banned by one party though.

  The party that isn't constantly accusing their opponents of election fraud.

In the video he shows actual footage of him observing ballot counts by hand. In the 2020 election several precincts in urban areas actively prevented observers from viewing the counting, in violation of state law. During the hand count they discovered series of ballots that all were marked identically for the United Russia party. Hundreds of them. In the US, tens of thousands of ballots get run through tabulation machines and the result is accepted as accurate simply because the machine counted a known batch of ballots accurately. You can’t see patterns like this with electronic tabulation machines. He also discusses voter turnout numbers in precincts that broke for Putin’s United Russia party being 80% or greater whereas most other precincts had turnout of 30-40%. He just as easily could have been describing some Detroit precincts that had 90%+ turnout in 2020. He spends a lot of time discussing security features on ballot bags that reveal evidence they have been tampered with. He discusses chain of custody at length and describes how and when he suspects ballot bags were tampered with. In 2020, mail-in ballots were accepted without any evidence they were actually returned by the voter named on them. This video is interesting because it describes a lot of the same issues that plagued the 2020 election but for some reason we all expect Russian elections to be rigged, but can’t conceive of ours being anything but squeaky clean.

  The last election was 2024. There have already been dozens of court cases about the 2020 election.

    Yes, that is how time works. And your point is?
