Look up the Florida and Michigan primaries from 2008. phleshdef Feb 2020 #14

FL and MI clearly (and quite deliberately) broke national rules stopdiggin Feb 2020 #18

I didn't say it was analogous. phleshdef Feb 2020 #21

Biden was untested before this. His support was hypothetical. Gravitycollapse Feb 2020 #31

Yes, but the bizarre polling/supposed voter shift pattern is the same. Hortensis Feb 2020 #33

I think you're looking for things that don't exist. The polling data is decentralized... Gravitycollapse Feb 2020 #34

None of that involved hacking into/manipulating large volumes of decentralized data. Gravitycollapse Feb 2020 #36

Yes, they did. I don't share your confidence in Russia's lack Hortensis Feb 2020 #37
