In reply to the discussion: The so-called "bullet ballots" and too many voting for president only [View all]SnoopDog
(2,457 posts)12. Your analysis is just meaningless numbers...
Choosing presidential votes vs senate votes and using the percentage difference is meaningless.
Providing meaningless data like this appears to be nothing ore than a diversion from the truth.

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

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.
