In reply to the discussion: The so-called "bullet ballots" and too many voting for president only [View all]SnoopDog
(2,469 posts)51. How about the House votes?
The Senate race was equally important.
The president and senate race each had more votes than the combined House votes.
The ops analysis is meaningless. A recount is definitely warranted.
I am amazed that some many Democrats here just want to give up
wonder why?

It's the percentage of votes cast in the presidential race in excess of the votes cast in the Senate race

Yep. There are lots of low information voters who simply choose not to vote in a race they probably don't know

Better than someone going down the ballot and randomly picking names based on whose name they like more.

Yeah, it's crazy that some swing states showed as much as 5% and 7% of "President Only" ballots..

I'm not sure why you think that matters in any way? Not everyone votes a straight ticket.

lol...wow. There's no evidence to support the claim, but here's some guy who called into a radio show.

Your math in post #26 has nothing to do with the claim that there was an inordinate number of bullet ballots.

How are we supposed to avoid the emotions of the election results if we can't claim the results are fraudulent?

It's this OP that is wrong, they used the numbers from both Dem and red ballots together.

The bullet ballots are the reason we won so many close Gov. Senate and House races

People splitting tickets differently than you think they should have is not evidence of fraud.

Because there will have been people who voted Trump for president, and Quintana (Green) for senator
