Jonathan Simon, one of America’s leading election integrity experts, asks: “What happens when a dangerous and serial liar like Donald Trump blunders onto an inconvenient and disruptive truth? The truth Trump is inadvertently pointing to is not that elections in the United States are rigged, but that our privatized, electronic vote counting system is unobservable and incapable of proving that it is not rigged. This is a true crisis for American democracy.”
I interviewed Jonathan Simon before and immediately after the 2020 election. How have his views on the national crisis of confidence around Trump v. Biden developed since then? Listen and find out.
Here are two charts illustrating his findings suggesting the 2020 election was rigged for down-ticket Republicans:
The House
“The first systemic anomaly to emerge on post-mortem was that, of 27 U.S. House contests rated as ‘tossups’ by the Cook Political Report and The New York Times, Republicans were victorious in all 27. Assuming tossup equates to a 50-50 chance, a penny flip, the probability of such an outcome would be less than one in 100 million…Virtually all these contests, being highly competitive, were heavily polled by a variety of different polling outfits across the political spectrum (though most were regarded as politically neutral), using a variety of methodologies and sampling techniques.”
“We can also view these competitive House contests in terms of the red (or blue) shift and identify which ones ‘flipped’ from predicted outcomes and by how much. The chart on page 4 below presents the contests that flipped from blue (prediction) to red (outcome) and the single contest, in Georgia, that flipped from red to blue. The CDs are ranked from highest to lowest red shift; the right-hand column shows the expected Democratic win percentage and the left-hand column the principal equipment in use. The asymmetry is clear enough and the correlation of Election Systems & Software (ES&S) equipment with the most egregious red shifts worth noting.”

Is it really possible that Sweden and the rest of Europe have truly democratically fair elections? I think most likely they do!
The Europeans are far more sophisticated than we are. But do their choices of candidates to choose from make a real difference?
The European power structures have been basically established since long before America existed. Their systems are may be slickly manipulated to appear fair…?
Americans politics is still so literally cut-throat that the two parties and factions use any and all manner of subterfuges to vanquish their opponents.
Yes you can see the votes. And did you see the videos showing suddenly the count for one candidate changed downward? The candidate lost votes. And another candidate gained votes. I saw this video myself.
Did you see the video of the people in Georgia putting the same ballots into the machines over and over again after they had asked everybody to leave?
Voting needs to be like a check deposit. You have a receipt and if you want you can verify and look at your check deposit. It has a hard trail.
The US has had a break with reality “Since 9/11”.
The Post Modernism denial of the existence of Truth seems to have become dominant.
I guess that I need to watch “Dune” for the first time.
This is why we do exit polls. According to them, trump lost by 14 percent twice. I trust the exit polls…they have a long history.
