"If this checks out, if law enforcement looked into that and it turned out to be true, it would be proof of foreign involvement in the election. Sounds very plausible to me. Only thing is, if the evidence is “absolute [sic] incontrovertible” then what need is there for further checking and investigation? Sounds like it’s all been done already, making it, you know, “incontrovertible”.

Where were these ballots supposed to go after they arrived in Maine? Maine splits some of its electoral votes by districts, so Biden got 3 votes and Trump got 1. Cheating in Maine could have gotten Biden, at most, 3 electoral votes; that’s literally the smallest possible swing you can get by rigging a state in the election. So the ballots must have been intended for someplace else. I want know where, incontrovertibly. ---

My main question is, if they’re gonna cheat, why didn’t they also cheat down ballot, while they were at it? Control of the Senate is at least as important as the presidency. And, yeah, if the North Koreans were shipping ballots to Maine, you’d think they’d at least bump Susan Collins off while they were at it. None of it makes a lick of sense. None of it. ---
