> [@psiekier](#): > > I think what D\_Anconia meant was that despite the obvious plan (“I can get Trump two more votes by registering the dead and voting for him! HAHAHAHA!!!”), there could be a sneakier side to this: what if he registered two dead women to vote, but then used those votes for Biden instead? Then, he could alert the authorities to the “widespread voter fraud perpetrated by the radical left”, and point to the evidence he knows exists (since he, himself, carved the roast beast) to prove that it happened. But there’s a paradox here. Nobody smart enough to devise this subtle a plan would be a Trump supporter. He would be a Biden supporter. And a Biden supporter would know that casting an illegal vote for Biden could undermine Biden’s election victory if he got caught. In other words: neither a Trump supporter nor a Biden supporter would cast an illegal vote for Biden. The Trump supporter would be too stupid to cast an illegal vote for Biden, and the Biden supporter would be too smart to cast an illegal vote for Biden. ---

The Trump supporter would be too stupid to cast an illegal vote for Biden, and the Biden supporter would be too smart to cast an illegal vote for Biden. It’s like that scene from “Labyrinth” in which Jennifer Connelly is faced with the doorknob that always lies and the one that always tells the truth. ---

Yet another instance of voter fraud. A man voting his dead wife’s ballot. And guess who is charged with killing her? > **[Man charged with wife’s murder illegally cast her ballot for Trump, officials...](https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/05/15/murder-voter-fraud-trump-morphew/?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F326346d%2F60a141959d2fdae30252813f%2F5fa00bbc9bbc0f3316b10a82%2F43%2F70%2F60a141959d2fdae30252813f)** > > Barry Morphew was charged this month with murder in the disappearance of his wife Suzanne. Now he's also accused of illegally voting in her name last fall. (Sorry for the WaPo link, but it was the only one I could find.) ---

Oops, looks like it’s projection again! A more cynical or conspiracy-minded person might start to wonder why results showed so many Republican races to be less close than literally any polling suggested, and whether those races used a lot of the same machines.
