    I’ve seen this article by so many different sites at least twice a day for the past 3 weeks. I get that people want to be optimistic and I totally wanna know what happened. However, I’d much rather wait for more information instead of recycling the same information every day. There is definitely something fishy going on here, but so far it’s barely above a conspiracy theory at this point.

      Yes. This is East Ramapo. What you say is true. However, even taking that into account, there is even more irregularity.

      In a given population, you’re always going to have outliers. No population is THAT hermetically sealed.

      • Disproportionally low votes for Harris, combined with normal spreads for other reps and elections? Funky, maybe worth looking at, but not a smoking gun.
      • ZERO votes for Harris, combined with normal spreads for other reps and elections? That right there is a fucking HUGE smoking gun. That simply doesn’t happen in electoral statistics. It’s effectively impossible.

        For a district with 552 votes, you’d expect at least one vote for Harris through pure accident. It’s quite fishy.
