      What does greater margin mean. That is quite the statement.

      To me margin would be expressed as percentage. Did I miss new math?

            No, you missed standard English usage. Just google up the phrase “by a margin of” in quotes and see how it’s used.

                Remember when Trump claimed 3-5M fake votes. Started a commission to look into it, and found nothing?

                See, now that's funny.

                      You're right. It's all right there in the report they never produced.

                        Think maybe you ought to wait until they finish before talking about a report?

                          Ok. Won by a greater margin of votes which may be useful in a recount argument but says nothing of how close the race was compared to other elections.

                                  @Jolly @Larry It is always difficult when something goes against something you believe in very strongly, or have a lot of belief in. It is difficult for the mind to “rationalize” it. And because of personal bias, the mind does not want to accept the outcome or thinks there must be some reason that caused this to happen.

                                  It happened in 2016. Hillary Clinton supporters could not understand how President Trump could have won. “It is it possible. Everyone I talked to supported her. Why don’t other people see and understand what I see? There must have been something else!”

                                  It happens often when a family member commits a crime. “There is no way that they did. I know them. Something else MUST have happened. They did not shoplift the clothes from the store!!”

                                  So, a conspiracy theory is determined that somehow fits the crime details. There was an international crime ring that just happened to be in the store at the same time. They drugged the shopper, slipped the clothes into their bag, and left them with no memory of this occurring. They also managed to avoid the security cameras, and left no trace of themselves in the store. But, this is the way it HAD to happen. Because they just KNOW.

                                  Isn’t there a famous detective (Sherlock Holmes?) who said that the easiest answer is usually the most obvious one. (Or maybe vice versa)

                                  I get that you (and millions others) are disappointed that President Trump is not reelected. But to try and back fit that the Democrats did this in this state, did a second thing in another state, did a third thing in another state, all the while knowing that these were the states to do it, while ignoring these states is just too wild for me.

                                  The reason President elect Biden won Is that more people legally voted for him than for President Trump. Same as in 2016, when more people legally voted for President Trump over Hillary Clinton.

                                  If, in 2024 President Trump decides to run again, and he wins more votes than the Democrat person, then he will be declared president.

                                    It happened in 2016. Hillary Clinton supporters could not understand how President Trump could have won. “It is it possible. Everyone I talked to supported her. Why don’t other people see and understand what I see? There must have been something else!”

                                    It happens often when a family member commits a crime. “There is no way that they did. I know them. Something else MUST have happened. They did not shoplift the clothes from the store!!”

                                    So, a conspiracy theory is determined that somehow fits the crime details. There was an international crime ring that just happened to be in the store at the same time. They drugged the shopper, slipped the clothes into their bag, and left them with no memory of this occurring. They also managed to avoid the security cameras, and left no trace of themselves in the store. But, this is the way it HAD to happen. Because they just KNOW.

                                    Isn’t there a famous detective (Sherlock Holmes?) who said that the easiest answer is usually the most obvious one. (Or maybe vice versa)

                                    I get that you (and millions others) are disappointed that President Trump is not reelected. But to try and back fit that the Democrats did this in this state, did a second thing in another state, did a third thing in another state, all the while knowing that these were the states to do it, while ignoring these states is just too wild for me.

                                    The reason President elect Biden won Is that more people legally voted for him than for President Trump. Same as in 2016, when more people legally voted for President Trump over Hillary Clinton.

                                    If, in 2024 President Trump decides to run again, and he wins more votes than the Democrat person, then he will be declared president.

                                    That is known as Occam's Razor, floated by William of Occam in the 14th century (I think). But if William hadn't said it, I bet you're right, that Sherlock Holmes would've. 🙂

                                      Think maybe you ought to wait until they finish before talking about a report?

                                      The Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity was started in Jan 2017 and disbanded in Jan 2018. They were supposed to produce a report, they didn't produce a report.

                                        @Jolly @Larry It is always difficult when something goes against something you believe in very strongly, or have a lot of belief in. It is difficult for the mind to “rationalize” it. And because of personal bias, the mind does not want to accept the outcome or thinks there must be some reason that caused this to happen.

                                        It happened in 2016. Hillary Clinton supporters could not understand how President Trump could have won. “It is it possible. Everyone I talked to supported her. Why don’t other people see and understand what I see? There must have been something else!”

                                        The easiest answer is that there's a multi-state conspiracy involving low-level poll workers. At some point we'll find their secret communications or meeting spots. Right?

                                        This year they decided to give the Presidency to the Dems, but split congress. They're a fair-minded conspiratorial bunch.

                                          How does one float a razor?

                                          I was only joking
