I’d like to suggest that Trump send out the following Tweet. If you voted Trump, purchase a Mega Million Lottery ticket next for Friday. Biden should do the same, instead his supporters should purchase a Power Ball for next Saturday. It seems that the lottery sells about 14M tickets on average per game. So, if 70M people voted for each candidate and purchased a ticket ($2) there should be a huge increase in sales for that particular date. It’s not scientific, but if this went national and people participated the results would be eye-opening. Bet lottery sales for the Trump Ticket would be through the roof.
I have no idea how to spread this idea, if you do, share it. We need a show of force, think Belarus.
Looking good then.
Innovative idea. Requires no investment in infrastructure whatsoever.
Cute, but absolutely unscientific.
Also, the biggest flaw (aside from people deliberately trying to cross vote and sabotage the results) would be that the whole thing would get so much hype that the projected jackpots would be modified much higher and people would be buying more than one ticket hoping to win.
I’d conjecture that Biden voters would be more likely in general to buy lottery tickets than would Trump voters.
Then people buy 100 tickets and your count is blown. not to mention that’s national and tells us nothing about the state races and the EC.
I’d rather change tax filing deadline from April 15th to the first Tuesday of November.
If they want to blow two hundred dollars like that let them.
But then it’s not A vote. And the whole experiment falls to pieces. Remember, George Soros is on their side. How many lottery tickets can he buy and not even touch his bottom line.
