Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) responded to Elon Musk’s conspiracy theory that Democrats move the same group of paid protesters to different events.
Right-wing influencer Mario Nawfal claimed GPS data showed only 20,000 attendees—less than the reported 34,000—at recent rallies and suggested most had attended multiple past protests.
Musk amplified this claim, alleging the use of paid protesters.
Ocasio-Cortez dismissed Musk’s claim with “Someone’s butthurt,” adding he should find “a new, more interesting conspiracy theory to peddle.”
@clonedhuman @BedSharkPal worth noting that those people have also spent their time since 2020 accusing Dems of rigging elections. Seems bizarre to me that nobody’s looked into it. All the swing states when he couldn’t fill a stadium? With the lowest approval rating of any president ever? With Elon paying people to send in their voter registration details? Yeah ok, let’s not check anything before special elections and midterms…
Some people are calling for a forensic audit. And no, it’s not getting much press at all.

Wisconsin completed an audit recently and published the results: no errors.

Some articles that people post about Trump drop-off votes (where they only vote for Trump) being somehow suspicious are kind of stupid. Is it really hard to believe that many of his otherwise politically-disengaged cult members vote for him and then go home? Or that Democrats were not super enthusiastic about Harris’s moderate conservative campaign?
I suspect those still churning on the election results are the same that cheerfully swallowed the genocide pill and then lost.
So, yes. For some it is too hard to believe. It’s the easier option than contending with that reality.
yup. Some weird numbers. https://open.substack.com/pub/smartelections/p/so-clean

The exit polls seemed to line up with the results from what I remember. But yeah I struggle to believe that these individuals of all people didn’t fuck with the system.
