> it’s the literal cause of their death Are you sure about that? Last I heard (from Dr. Birx on TV), many states count anyone with a positive test as a “COVID death”, regardless of what the coroner’s report says. If we counted deaths for

Because of applied science. And don’t give me nonsense about all science eventually being applied. Most of it won’t.

Balance with missed heart bypasses, cancer screenings, emergency stroke interventions, and increased stress, and interrupted vaccine programs, and alcoholism, drug abuse, suicide, and that list goes on too.

Not just attracts - rewards and cultivates, too. People already working somewhere don’t have immutable personalities. If an employer is a bad influence on its employees, problems will manifest not only with new hires.

There are many sworn affidavits being filed in court right now, from poll watchers claiming that they were kept too far away to validate a single ballot, or turned away entirely. We’ll see, it will definitely go to court.

This pretty much adds up, and invalidates the whole analysis in my opinion. But I still believe that the first conspicuous batch of mail-in ballots being dumped in the witching hour, after poll watchers were told the counting was done for t

Not much else for that one online, Giuliani cited it and it’s funny. The other one he cited was a woman who registered to vote the day after she died: https://www.swgfuneralhome.com/obituary/Denise-Ondick https:/

The funniest one I’ve heard so far is Joe Frazier. The birthday apparently matches, but this may have to wait to be confirmed in court: https://www.bigtrial.net/2020/11/smokin-joe-frazier-among-22...

So you're saying one county, with ~80,000 delayed votes, ~60% of which were for Biden, completely eliminates Georgia as a counterexample here? I don't have a good spider-sense for this kind of number crunching so I'd have to

Well that's why I ported and ran the python script, and put it on GitHub, so you could re-scrape the NYT data too, it will just overwrite what's in the repo. I'm not vouching for any of the corresponding analysis, but the dat

There are definitely a few dead people who register to vote after dying, and successfully vote, in every election too.

Well for example there are a more than a few definitely dead people who vote each election, that's pretty easy to show. But finding the, uh, living person who did the fraud is not always easy.

Here’s someone who did analysis of 2020 NYT time-series data, and is trying to make a case that the currently-contested states show odd patterns. Note that this would be circumstantial evidence at best , but still a little fishy when compa
