In another blow to Trump's "STOLLEN ELECTION" narrative, Republicans have found 4,000 votes that were miscounted — in Trump's favor and to Biden's detriment.

The reporting errors were presumably a consequence of the results tapes not being programmed to a format that was compatible with state reporting requirements. Attempts to correct this issue appear to have created errors. The reporting errors did not consistently favor one party or candidate but were likely due to a lack of proper planning, a difficult election environment, and human error.

…

The discrepancies did not affect the outcome of any of the elections, but they did add to a growing list of defeats for Trump’s election lies.

      What’s surprising is, they actually admitted they found it, rather than dragging out a report until nobody cares anymore

              I’ve seen people rant about Obama like Biden doesn’t even exist yet and confusing 22A as Obama “losing” and his re-election a big threat.

              I’m not even from the US and I know this isn’t a thing. Outside of pure monarchy rules, there’s not many countries out there without term limits.

                  That’s monarchy rules. The head of state technically is King Charles.

                    I feel like I already covered that and then some in the initial comment. I’m sorry you had to do it again for our mate here, but thank you for your vigilance.

              there’s that. But also, like… how many investigations got started by the SEC and then suddenly never reported on? and not like “well we didn’t actually find anything” reports that just got closed out, but still-open investigations that just never get closed?

              Or the EPA, or the FCC, FTC. IRS. Congressional ethics committee types, too. toss in the rest of the alphabet soup regulatory bodies here, too.

      Every conservative accusation is actually a confession.

      Just a reminder, they are actively trying to steal this phrase right now.

        Oh? I’m out of the loop on this one. Any links to this sort of idiodicy? I’m genuinely curious how they could possibly coopt this.
