A lawsuit disputing the results of the 2024 election has moved forward after it was revealed that former Vice President Kamala Harris received no votes a New York county.
I’ll have to read the article, but if I recall correctly there are some rather religious communities in some New York counties. And they vote in a rather peculiar way. They will listen to their religious leaders about who to vote for and then they all unilaterally vote for that candidate.
I’m wondering if that’s what’s going on.
I agree. Looking at the stats for the county mentioned, it’s only about 1/3 that religion, which is nowhere near enough for that entire district to vote for Trump.
In a given population, you’re always going to have outliers. No population is THAT hermetically sealed.
Disproportionally low votes for Harris, combined with normal spreads for other reps and elections? Funky, maybe worth looking at, but not a smoking gun.
ZERO votes for Harris, combined with normal spreads for other reps and elections? That right there is a fucking HUGE smoking gun. That simply doesn’t happen in electoral statistics. It’s effectively impossible.

Yes, but for real? There isn’t a single Harris voter in that county? That’s hard to believe.

For a district with 552 votes, you’d expect at least one vote for Harris through pure accident. It’s quite fishy.
Yes. This is East Ramapo. What you say is true. However, even taking that into account, there is even more irregularity.
