There’s absolutely no way that this could have happened in Philly and Atlanta. Absolutely no way. The pipes burst. They had to stop counting.

#22From the high score but low placement on the HN page, I’m guessing this is being heavily flagged.
It’s less about the submission itself and more about the quality (or lack thereof) of the comments below it.
Re: Watch an election being stolen in realtime
#23I had a discussion with some friends about how impressive it is that Putin can do so many outrageous things and the world doesn’t stop him. Clear election fraud, assassinating foreigners, invading Crimea, etc. there are very few other countries that get free passes like Putin does.
All the great powers act this way, because they can. No one wanted to fight a nuclear war over Crimea and when the time comes, no one will fight a nuclear war over Taiwan. And no one is going to war with a European power the next time they intervene in one of their current or former colonies. Then there's the US...

#24hmm reminds me of some videos from the US election...
Show us the one where someone deliberately covers a camera with a mop.
Regarding the dead comment's "mysterious burst pipe", this may be of interest:

This footage was mainly released to counter the Giuliani narrative that secret ballots were wheeled in under a table in the morning, then pulled out and scanned after the observers left. In fact Giuliani's presenter conveniently skipped past the part of the video where the ballots are put under that table in view of the observers after being processed from envelopes normally.
But these videos also clear up the confusion around the burst pipe, which was a pretty straightforward issue in the morning, not related to the stop-and-start counting around midnight that is so controversial.

#25Without mass mail in ballots this kind of fraud necessarily has to happen on camera in polling stations.
Edit: downvotes are welcome but doesn't change the fact that mass opt-out mail in ballots are a disaster for democracy, given they destroy the secret ballot and chain of custody guarantees we expect in fair elections. this was well accepted just a short while ago by anyone reasonable regardless of political leaning. seeing people on camera being caught cheating because of centralized polling stations putting cameras on them is just one of a million things that should wake people up again why we, up until a few months ago, ran elections the way we did.

The HN post isn't linking to the comments. I wonder if the mods can look to see which countries the flags are coming from.

This is also always interesting to see with submissions that are critical of CCP/PRC :)
Though it's probably more obvious where the flags are coming from in those cases.

I mean it's possible that it could have happened, but I feel like if you're going to make claims like this, there's a pretty high threshold of evidence required.

If you look further down the thread, there were official election monitors in the room.
edit: the video below is not what I thought it was. The second part of my comment stands.
There's also video of the poll workers demanding that all Republican challengers leave.

There were hundreds of videos of poll workers behaving in ways that ranged from suspicious to obviously illegal. Many have since been removed from social media. I don't like Trump and never voted for him, but his supporters who watched video after video oddly reminiscent of those in the OP's thread aren't unreasonable in feeling cheated.
