The WRITE-IN total continues to grow but the "percentage" remains at zero and Bachmann's totals are inflating.... possibly by some percent of the WRITE-IN which can obviously be altered later?
My brain is so tired, I can't do the math right now, but I've been taking screen shots as these change, cropping it in paint and dumping it in a WORD doc. Not perfectly scientific, but here in the middle of the night things are being manipulated and the numbers are NOT adding up.
The fact that the numbers changed on both candidates and were NOT equal, but both showed 50% is a COMPLETE mathematical impossibility.
For the WRITE IN to go from 0.28% to ZERO and STAY there while the numbers climb is ALSO NOT possible if these numbers were simply being reported and not rigged.

I'm certain there will be a way to correlate these, but I also need to find someone in Michele Bachmann's district that can issue a voter challenge and get a manual recount. With these imaginary numbers who knows when it started going into fantasy land???
joshcryer
(62,277 posts)She's still winning by several thousand votes.
pinboy3niner
(53,339 posts)Yes, the number of write-ins increased, but the total votes increased by FAR more, so the higher number of write-ins decreased as a percentage of the total vote.
When the write-ins went up to 958 that percentage dropped to zero because the total votes also increased--a LOT--and at that point 958 was less than 3 1000ths of 1% of the total votes.
Tigress DEM
(7,887 posts)I can buy that the increase is quite a bit more and dwarfs the "write ins" past the 3rd decimal but how did it go to EXACTLY 50% and just hang there?

It WAS like a flip of a switch....
50.14% becomes 50% drop the .14
49.59% rounds up to 50% drop the .59
0.28% rounds down to 0.00% drop the .28
Thanks to 12+ years of stolen elections and constant attempts to lie to us, I no longer trust these people at all.

(11,700 posts)She's a constant reminder of just how crazy the Republican base really is.
Tigress DEM
(7,887 posts)Minnesota does not need a Do nothing Tea Party whiner who has to rig an election to get the needed votes.
HE was just annoying. She's a waste of space.

(11,700 posts)She's very bad for Minnesota.

(9,854 posts)Maybe she just WON. She was projected to win all along, wasn't she? I am shocked it was even as close as it was.
Tigress DEM
(7,887 posts)We are still looking at 1% right now. Numbers are big, but percentage wise it's still as close as the Franken Coleman race.
Thing is DEMs do not HAVE the history of disenfranchising people. We bend over backwards to be fair. ALL I WANT to see is that the votes were fairly counted.
It's TRUE that I just want her GONE because she's VERY bad for Minnesota.
BUT if she truly won without cheating, fine. I'll deal with it.
