Truth is truth, whether any of us agree with the outcome or not.

Looks like the below are all truth:

  • 1.8M total ballots were requested for the 2020 PRIMARY Election per the pa.gov site
  • 2.6M total ballots were categorized as Mail for the 2020 GENERAL Election per the pa.gov site
  • "More than 3M Mail-in or Absentee Ballots" were requested in PA per APNews as of 10/27/2020
  • 3,088,123 ballots were requested and 2,629,183 were returned with 7,163 rejected per github electproj


I am on the side of Truth first, then second to that, would prefer that Trump wins vs ceding our liberties to the lying, cheating lib/dem/ccp/commie/socialists.

All references were taken from this thread, not sure if I missed any--point it out and I will add them here. Let's all work from the same reference points and debate what are the facts.

Decimals in Vote Tallies
Tabulation software in use in the 2020 election in at least 28 states explicitly authorized in operating instruction manuals provided by the software vendor -- the use of weighting algorithms to tally votes.
Actual tallies in Michigan's public records show weighted numbers of votes received, showing vote tallies in fractional numbers -- e.g. a tally of 1,615,707.52 votes for candidate X and 1,925,865.66 votes for candidate Y.

These numbers are not vote total percentages for one candidate or another, which would logically include decimals. These are reports of vote totals. With decimals. There is no logical place for decimals in a system that is supposed to be counting one person, one vote. Vote counts with decimals establish that the system used algorithms. They prove the actual vote tally has been manipulated.

I can think of one use for weighted voting -- for corporate votes such as electing a board of directors where your vote is directly proportional to your ownership in the company.

We keep hearing about how the voting machines have this capability, but nothing about whether or not anyone actually used this in an election. If they are going to keep claiming that the capability is evidence of fraud, they need to prove that it was actually being used in the election. Without such proof, it's just sour grapes.

But you have a Happy Thanksgiving sir
They didn't. And not a single person has been able to tell me how he got those numbers, except one person who notice Rudy got the wrong numbers, and made things up, again.

In a government election whether national or home owner's association, votes are integer values.

The fact that integer values are not used to tally votes is indicates either negligence or fraud. Either of which places doubt on the election integrity.

If weighted voting is used for another purpose, as you suggest, then they should call a different subroutine that might use floating point numbers.

I think that they should use a different software package for the machines, but I can understand the desire to use one for both.

The floating point numbers are rather weird, but do not indicate anything bad.

At an engineering company where I worked, the accounting package used floating point numbers for dollar amounts. The result was that the round off errors could accumulate and so the balance sheet never exactly balanced. That used to drive the accountants nuts. They didn't care why it didn't balance exactly, but couldn't tell you which numbers were off by $1.

Using them in an election, the least significant digit would probably be off, but if you expressed it with two or more digits after the decimal point, you can mentally round it up or down as required and it should be exact.

So while I would never have written an election package with floating point numbers, I don't consider their use to indicate anything fraudulent -- just something unnecessary.

They could have used something like

#ifdef standard_election
typedef unsigned long vote_t ;
#else
typedef double vote_t ;
#endif

And so for a standard election it would use integer values instead of floats.

These are the actual numbers reported in Pennsylvania.

How does anyone not see this glaring problem.

You sent out in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 1,823,148 absentee or mail-in ballots. You received back 1.4 million approximately. However, in the count for president, you counted 2.5 million. I don't know what accounts for the 700,000 difference between the ballots you sent out and the number of ballots that ended up in the count," said Giuliani.

Absolutely.

Ranked choice voting is used in many jurisdictions and countries. This is yet another example of conspiracy theorists running wild with something totally normal and has been in place for decades.

Note just because some systems have this feature doesn't mean it was used and fractions would present in the tabulator file. The hand recount in Georgia obviously was done in intigers and confirmed the tabulator counts.

So, when you have been dead over 50 years before the vote count you get 1/3 of a vote, 26-50 you get 1/2 a vote, 11-25 you get 3/4, and 1 day to 10 years a full vote. Then you multiply the totaled fractions by the candidate factor (x40 for Hiden and 0.10 for Trump).


That data comes from NYTimes and Edison and is not in any way official vote counts. Not a single Secretary of State reported votes with decimals. NYT data used algorithms to "predict" election outcomes. That data has been scraped and analyzed by "experts" who have found all sorts of anomalies. The problem is that data is not official. It's collected by a 3rd party from official sources, but those are not the official numbers. This is a common and ongoing problem with any attempts to find "evidence" of fraud by analyzing publicly available data.

It doesn't really matter though. No one is going to believe me if I am not confirming their narrative so what's the point.

Displaying the final results in decimal is a technique to show that non-integer math has been used. with a large enough data set, even one or two digits will show up a lot of such issues.

If the programmer had simply rounded or truncated and displayed in integer values, then the fraud might have not been so obvious.

I AM BACK IN THE GAME.

I posted all of wet the bed guys stuff on my other political forums. (No offense bed guy you are really trying hard)

They say that the Pennsylvania Web Site numbers have changed. The site has gone down for unexplained reasons, etc.

Yes, Rudy was using the numbers from the website at the time and it was from the Primary, Showing the Primary was as crooked as the Presidential Election.

Also there is DIRECT evidence that (at a point in the counting) that Trump votes "DECLINED" exactly as the number of Biden votes increased. MATH. MATH. MATH.

But, as usual, nothing to see here. Move along.

Rudy's quote in your OP does not mention anything about those numbers coming from the Primary.

So now some other guys on another forum have you convinced that Rudy was talking about Primary numbers all along? How very convenient. I'm sure the other stuff they told you about "Direct" evidence of Biden votes going up in correlation to Trump votes going down is similarly valid and above reproach.

FWIW, the PA primary ballot numbers have not been taken down or altered since September. Here you go: https://web.archive.org/. See for yourself.

But glad you have found an explanation you can live with for why you took Rudy's word as gospel. Rudy was actually trying to show the Primary was crooked, so he used the Primary numbers for ballot requests and then used the vote total from the General election. Makes perfect sense.

That's about as silly as it would be to argue that the election is unsecure because the color of the voting machine was black.

Want to be even sillier? If you increment a floating point number by one enough times, you will get to the point that adding yet another one will not change the number. Why not complain about that?

If, on the other hand, they used a signed integer number, at some point you add 1 and it goes negative! For example, if you have 127 as an 8 bit signed integer and add 1, then you get -128.

And if you have an unsigned integer, at some point you add 1 and it goes back to 0. For an 8 bit unsigned integer, if you have a value of 255 and add 1, then you get 0.

Lots of things to complain about there. It doesn't mean that there is any merit to the complaint, though.

What would be more interesting is if you voted in a tall building with an open window on the north side of the building and an open building on the south side of the building. To vote, they would hand you a voting machine and you would toss it out the north window if you are voting for Trump and out the south window if you are voting for Biden.

Then at the end of the day, get out a tape measure and decide which pile is deeper.

Hopefully, the entrance and exit to the building would be on either the East or the West side of the building.

The vote would be completely anonymous and could be double checked by anyone with a tape measure.
