Hello everyone, I felt like this was a safe place to post this and garner discussion. I haven't seen a lot of talk about the two groups that are pushing for hand recounts in swing states.

The tl;dr of the letter is that there were an abnormal amount of "bullet ballots." These are ballots where an individual only casts a vote for one person without any down ballot votes. In this case, only for Donald Trump. The marked increase is only present in seven swing states.

Thoughts?

Hey thank you for chiming in to share your thoughts. I think it's right to question his numbers and the veracity of what he is laying out. I'm not entirely sure how many bullet ballots there actually are. He mentions that the numbers would push certain states into a margin that would require recounts. If true, there could possibly be more fake ballots.

I would like him to lay out the numbers a bit better than he has.

Fair points regarding the speculation too.
