The evidence isn't just weak, it's practically non-existent.

A handful of tweets and some company sales? Come on. This is baseless conjecture at best. There's not a shred of technical evidence presented here.

Election experts have peered over the "statistical anomalies" this article highlights. Afaik all were debunked. The election result was within the polled margins.

I mean, the article even tries to make it suspicious that voters swung more in swing states... Like, duh? That's where the millions of campaign money were poored in.

There was also no evidence of vote flipping, there were a lot of ballots with only Trumps name ticked. But that was a purposeful campaign strategy ("don't worry if you don't like the local R candidate, just make sure to vote Trump"). They didn't flip voters, they managed to mobilize non-voters.

It's also no secret that Biden wasn't popular and Harris didn't meaningfully distinguish herself from him (would have been hard to do anyway). Many voters were also very poorly informed, some only finding out that Harris was the D candidate and not Biden on election day.

I understand the result was disappointing but unless there's some hard evidence of tampering, I'm not inclined to believe the election was tampered with.
