the trumpers cant see the stupidity of their latest argument

They are saying Dominion flipped votes in favor of Biden. Well, the day vote was already heavily Trump. Biden got most of the mail in which by definition cant be flipped by the voting machines since its paper.

However it would be easily discovered by audits that I would bet are routinely conducted.

I really don't expect those people, who are falling into a well-greased rabbit hole, to make any sense at all or see that they are being unreasonable.

This is now looking like it is partially escapism married to denial based on terror or fear of what's "out there" in reality, (as it now gets worse). It only gets more delusional and if we expect them to see that, it's just frustrating.

They really don't WANT to face facts for that reason. COVID-19 is not reaching its exponential phase, food distribution for the starving masses is at its highest, the economy looks like it is going to get much worse.

They are, in a sense, cowards and that would be alright with me if they were not part of the problem now. Reality will bite back hard though.

5. GOP/ Trump have a math problem

"Dominion calls the claim from Trump that its machines deleted 941,000 votes for him in Pennsylvania alone "impossible."

That's because Dominion only serves 14 counties in the state, which produced a total of 1.3 million votes — 52%, or 676,000, of which went to Trump. That only leaves 624,000 other votes, fewer than what Trump claims were switched."

Dominion tabulators are fungible; they can be stationed at the voting polls AND in the great mysterious tabulating halls.

"Edison Research created 'no such report' about switched votes

The statement from Dominion Voting Systems also noted that Edison Research — a firm that OANN and Gateway Pundit cited in their stories — has refuted claims that it produced any data to support allegations of vote switching.

Larry Rosin, the president of Edison Research, told The Dispatch Fact Check, that it never produced any data to that effect.

"Edison Research created no such report and we are not aware of any voter fraud," he said."

but your point still stands that if the hack occurred, Trump should never have had a lead.
