President Trump has so far been unwilling to concede to Joe Biden, and his latest argument is that the voting machines must have been rigged. Where’s the evidence? Strong claims need strong proof, not rumors and innuendo on Twitter.
Chatter is swirling around Dominion Voting, a company that supplies equipment in some 28 states. What seems to have launched this theory was an early misreport of results in Antrim County, Mich. In 2016 Mr. Trump won 62% of its 13,600 ballots, so eyebrows rose this year when the initial tallies showed Mr. Biden up by 3,000.
In reality, Mr. Trump had won 61% of Antrim County. The unofficial reporting was wrong, but the underlying votes were counted correctly. As officials later explained: In October the county had to tweak the ballot information for two local races. Tabulating machines in the affected areas were updated, but others weren’t. On Election Day the differing data didn’t line up right after being merged. But the printouts from the tabulators showed accurate totals.
In any case, the Michigan Secretary of State’s office said the error “would have been identified during the county canvass,” when Democrats and Republicans “review the printed totals tape from each tabulator.” Antrim County Clerk Sheryl Guy told the Associated Press: “There was no malice, no fraud here, just human error.” She’s a Republican.
A different problem hit Gwinnett County, Ga. Officials had trouble with a Dominion module for adjudicating absentee ballots, for example, if the voter put a check mark in the circle instead of filling it in. Some adjudicated ballots, the county said, “were displayed as in progress but would not move over to be accepted.” The county ended up re-adjudicating some votes until Nov. 5. Sounds like the usual boring IT snafu.

IMO the evidence is there it just has to be proven.
Sydney Powell will soon let you know and you will be eating crow.
You will not have evidence with “EYES WIDE SHUT” !
When you DON’T WANT TO SEE .....
And IF you want to see it will need an INVESTIGATION since there are many converging facts and clues
When you don’t have to show an ID to vote and the state just mails out ballots to everyone there is no voting security. Proof is impossible because there is no safeguards or guarantees that the votes are valid in the first place.
The writer needs a statistics 101 class.
Wallstreet scumbags rooting for joe
Yep
“WSJ Editorial Board”
No names huh? What a bunch a cowards.
Where’s the evidence?
The media started that whine as a response to talk of a a fraudulent election hours after circumstances strongly suggested it and common sense demanded it. Remember, the same people never uttered those words during the years the Mueller team was investigating Trump over the Russian hoax.
Anyone ever hear the phrase, “We can’t comment about an ongoing investigation” and who often uttered it?
What I can't and won't accept is the concept that our electoral process is irreversibly damaged. Which it looks like it is thanks do the Dems. This country will not survive if people stop participating in the electoral process because they have no faith in the integrity of the system.
You think the street violence was bad this past summer? If the majority people believe the system is not capable or has been rigged from representing them, then you ain't seen nothing yet.
Whoever the president turns out to be they need a complete audit of the Presidential electoral process and do away with mail in, not absentee, ballots. We also should be voting on the weekend with a universal 24 hour period across all time zones. Biden is jabbering about wanting us to heal as a nation. If he wins (which I hope he does not) and he's serious (which I doubt he is) then he should have a bipartisan blue ribbon panel, a la the 9-11 commission, to reassure the people.
Because right now, I don't believe an F’ing word either party is saying
This is just the kind of yellow journalism we can expect from now on.
Open your eyes and you will see if, WSJ.
The WSJ is right. It is time for Sidney Powell to put up or shut up. If she has the evidence, she must go forward today, because she is letting the enemies of this country off the mat and able to mount a credible defense. The MSM makes sure that the counter argument doesn’t have to be true, it just has to be believable. Powell is rapidly losing the power of her ‘chips’.
When you don’t have to show an ID to vote and the state just mails out ballots to everyone there is no voting security. Proof is impossible because there is no safeguards or guarantees that the votes are valid in the first place.
*******
You just nailed it. The Democrats are arguing that we have to accept a corrupt process and manipulable machines because we cannot prove that we would have won if the process and the machines had not been corrupt — an impossible burden of proof.

If the results were opposite, and Biden was beaten fraudulently (or any other Dem) ‘journalists’ would be beating the bushes everywhere finding fraud, instead they are sitting at home having a beer or writing articles how nobody has any proof. Only Trump is making any attempt to find it.
Having a degree in Mathematics helps to understand the evidence just as having a medical degree helps to understand disease. Unfortunately some will not be able to understand.
Judges rely on experts, not journalism majors.
