I have no issue with “black pill” folks who provide hard data to support their assertions.

Almost none of them have done their homework.

For the most part they do not understand the differences in the process between 2020 and 2024—and again for the most part they appear oblivious to what the early voting numbers mean.

I will always pay attention to folks who have solid facts and sound logic to defend their views

Good point, and here I will provide an anecdote:

I just voted in central NJ. This year, they are using new voting machines that I have not seen before. In the past, you would press a button to select the candidate you wanted to vote for, and a green light would illuminate in the box by that candidate's name. Once you made all your selections, you pressed a "Vote" button (or something like that), the machine gave out a few beeps, and that was it.

I voted just a few minutes ago, and this time, I was handed a long paper slip (about 3"x15"), with a barcode on the top edge. Once in the voting booth, I fed the paper slip into the machine, which brought it up in a window. Once I made my ballot selections and hit "Cast Ballot", the machine cycled the slip, and it came back up in the window, where it had my choices printed below the bar code. I then had to hit "Vote" or something like that, and the paper slip was pulled up out of the window, presumably into a ballot box of some sort (and hopefully not just into a circular file!).

I think this is an improvement, as there is now a paper ballot of my vote that could be reviewed for auditing or challenging if necessary. At least, that's what I am hoping.
