    Just for the record, I don’t think there’s anything to this. It’s very hard to do voter fraud on a scale that matters, and I need more evidence than some strange ballots. If evidence emerges, I’ll change my mind, but I don’t expect that to happen.

    That said, if I were to come up with an argument for why they did it this way, it’s because of how fascism is lined up behind a specific leader. Nobody below him matters. However important those people think they are, they are replaceable parts. This line of thought is so ingrained into fascism that they don’t even think of supporting anybody else.

    Which is really important for reasons beyond possible voter fraud. It explains why people would naturally vote that way on their own, and then the voter fraud theory is cut up by Occom’s Razer.

      The people below him matter because they enact his agenda. The fact that there is a cult of personality around Trump absolutely explains why real voters would vote that way. But anyone enacting a ballot stuffing scheme on his behalf would almost certainly understand that he needs cronies to actually do any of the things he wants to do.
