Quite a few in red states. Makes we wonder where those people were in November. That or something was wrong with the count.
There are red voters in blue states, and blue voters in red states. There's a reason for the whole "divided we fall" thing, and a lot of the rhetoric about abandoning red states is fostered to divide us further.
It's so stupid to watch people engage in it, because state lines are arbitrary lines on the ground, but people even on Lemmy love to say "no war but class war" and then immediately abandon leftists in red states.
Look at Tennessee. Yes, Trump received 1,966,865 votes. But Harris received 1,056,265.
Those 1 million people don't stop existing just because everyone is focusing on the 2.
We have a lot of purity testing and tankies on outside. I empathize with the passion, but its also deeply unserious in making material progress.
It’s the big reason why most hardcore pseudo leftists like tankies are just another flavor of authoritarian politics like the Khmer Rouge or Maoism but with a leftist spin instead of a right one.
There are more Republicans in California than Texas and more Democrats in Texas than New York.
to be a red state the "majority" of 50.1% is enough
That would be a purple state, you need a strong majority with 53-55+% to be red. Otherwise you're a swing state.
my bad
Well there's this:

I will remain doubtful until actual evidence comes out.
The example they gave was somebody noticing the name on the ballot didn’t match what they chose on the screen. I don’t know about others, but I always look at the ballot before putting it in the box. If I noticed Trump’s name, I absolutely would have said something.
If they are implying this happened on such a massive scale that Trump would have actually lost (120k in PA alone), then I guarantee this issue would have been noticed by a much higher percentage of people and would have been all over the news on Election Day.
Besides, I think exit polling generally matched up with the results.
