The blatantly political redistricting effort in Texas is launching similar efforts in California and New York. In all cases, partisan lawmakers are corrupting our elections to create a partisan advantage in upcoming elections. THIS IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF RIGGING OUR ELECTIONS!!!

Trump abused so-called RINOs and cast them out of his orbit in 2020. As a result, RINOs did not vote for Trump in 2020. More than 100k RINOs were in GA in 2020. Trump lost GA by about 12k. Same in PA, MI, AZ, and WI. Trump's pollster confirmed this. The reason for his loss is simple.

This is a notable statement from RFK Jr, and one that makes me happy. Children should not be coming down with, and dying from, illnesses all but eradicated in the 1950s. The science shows that vaccines are safe, effective, and protect your children from some awful diseases.

My neighbor, Doug Lane, lost his wife, Christine, and son, Spencer, in the DC plane crash last month. Doug sat with NBC News reporter Emilie Ikeda. The interview will air this morning at 7:40 a.m. Eastern on the Today Show and in a larger format tonight at 7:00 p.m. on the NBC program News Now.

Here is how the Congressional Research Service describes how tariffs work. Importers pay tariffs at US ports of entry - these are US businesses. The US Customs and Border Protection agency collects this tax. The source country has nothing to do with this process. Full link in the first comment.

How similar was the 2024 election compared to 2020? Check out this chart, which shows the total votes cast in 2020 and 2024 in the swing states. All that nonsense about 15 million missing votes the day after the election was just noise.

My interview with @kenblockri.bsky.social — he was hired by Trump’s 2020 campaign to look for voter fraud. Now that FBI nom Kash Patel has called to investigate the 2020 election again, Block says the GOP has the opportunity to make meaningful bipartisan change in our electoral system. Will they?

Combined, these two vote swings eliminate Biden’s 2020 margin of victory and set up Harris’ loss. 13/13

Libertarian voters tend to lean conservative and Greens liberal. If we assume those voters were at least open to supporting a major party candidate, 195,000 Libertarian votes went Trump’s way in 2024, and 112,000 Green votes came out of Harris’ 2024 results... 12/

Ken Block @kenblockri.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

The Greens took more than 112,000 swing state presidential votes in 2024 than they did in 2020. The bottom line: 11/

Ken Block @kenblockri.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

While Trump figured out how to peel Libertarian support away from their presidential candidate, the Democrats tried to assassinate the Greens. It is easy to see how this strategy would fail to draw Green supporters to Harris in 2024. 10/

Ken Block @kenblockri.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

The Greens were on just one swing state ballot in 2020 but made the ballot in five swing states in 2024. The Democrats tried hard to keep the Greens off the ballot in 2024 but lost several lawsuits. 9/

The difference between the Senate and presidential vote counts is very likely explained by Libertarians voting for Trump as President while casting a vote for the Libertarian Senate candidate. 8/

Ken Block @kenblockri.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

In MI, NV, PA, and WI, the 2024 ballot had Chase Oliver as the Libertarian presidential candidate and another Libertarian running for a US Senate seat. In each state, the Libertarian Senate candidate received many times the vote total of the Libertarian presidential candidate. 7/

Ken Block @kenblockri.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

That promise (plus getting RFK’s support) led to an astonishing result. 2024 Libertarian Presidential candidate Chase Oliver received more than 195,000 FEWER swing state votes than Jo Jorgensen did in 2020. Those votes very likely went to Trump. 6/

Ken Block @kenblockri.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

I saw a Libertarian presidential candidate as an issue that would likely doom Trump’s 2024 campaign. He wrangled an invitation to the Libertarians’ 2024 convention and got roundly booed. However, he promised the Libertarians that he would eliminate the Department of Education if elected. 5/

In 2020, Libertarian presidential candidate Jo Jorgensen took more votes than Trump lost to Biden in Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin. In GA and AZ, Jorgensen took nearly 5 times as many votes as Trump’s margin of loss. She took as many votes as Trump lost to Biden in Pennsylvania. 4/

The data in this analysis came from each swing state’s official election results website, except for 2024 Wisconsin data. All 2024 data in this analysis was pre-election certification, meaning the numbers can differ slightly from the certified results. 3/

If we treat the six swing states as one big state, Biden won that made-up state by 312,074 votes over Trump. In 2024, Trump won that imaginary state by an almost 580,000-vote margin over Harris. 2/

How Trump won Two clear data trends can be seen when comparing the 2020 swing state election results to the 2024 results. These trends explain half of the vote swing that enabled Trump’s 2024 win. 1/

I do believe that "ballot harvesting" is wrong. Half the states in the country, including several red states, allow unrestricted ballot harvesting. Congress should pass a bill allowing only caregivers or family members to deliver live ballots—and only in small quantities. 5/

I post this because many of my conservative friends are unlikely to have seen this news on any media they consume. They have also likely missed the news that "2,000 Mules" producers admitted, through their lawyers in a defamation case, that they had no evidence to back up the film's claims. 3/

Ken Block @kenblockri.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

It is infuriating that so many claims of voter fraud connected to the 2020 election were based on, at best, garbage proof. It is even worse that the only way these false claims got shredded was for defamation lawsuits to force the truth out. 2/

Ken Block @kenblockri.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

The Director of "2,000 Mules," Dinesh D'Souza, admits the essential "proof" behind the film's fraud claims was false. That doesn't stop D'Souza from tripling down on his claims that the film uncovers fraud. He now does so with even less evidence than he had before. 1/

The Democrats got the Greens bounced from the ballot in PA in 2020, but could not pull that off in '24. They tried to keep the Greens off the ballot in WI in 24 but failed. 3/3

Trump solved his 2020 Libertarian problem, when Libertarian presidential candidate Jo Jorgensen took 5 times Trump's margin of loss in AZ and GA. She took as many votes as Trump lost PA by. All it took was promising Libertarians that he would nuke the Dep't of Education. 2/

Ken Block @kenblockri.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

There are quantifiable reasons that explain how Trump won. Graphics are coming, but 3rd parties played a huge swing state role. Libertarian pres votes disappeared in 24 v 20. Green pres votes increased dramatically from 20 to 24. These data points add up to a more than 300k vote swing. 1/

Digging deeper into the 2024 inspection report for this area, a "clogged scupper" and the degraded seal for the bridge joint are identified. This is a perfect storm of badness: instead of draining as designed via the scupper, water was likely pouring into the joint, eroding concrete and metal. 4/

Ken Block @kenblockri.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

Girders F through beam L ALL have backed-off nuts on the bearing plates that attach the girders to the concrete substructure (except for J). This likely indicates that the whole thing is moving in unwanted ways. The bolts for some bearing plates are bent; in others, all four bolts are backed-off! 3/

In the 1st image you see the girders under the area where RIDOT is working and where your car bounces into the air when you go over it (credit to Rob Cote for identifying this issue). I added red labels to identify girders not originally labeled in the photo, which is part of the 2024 inspection. 2/

Hi everyone. The Trump campaign hired my company to look for voter fraud (we didn't find much) and perform due diligence on claims made by others (none of the claims were true). I know a lot about voting issues and voter data. Ask me (almost) anything! #ThereWasNoVoterFraud
