8. There was no 31k vote "jump" and nobody is calling for a recount

Thu Dec 4, 2025, 08:08 PM

Dec 4

The 31,000 vote jump was claimed by This Will Hold (TWH) and Decision Desk Headquarters (DDHQ) but they never put forth any evidence that it happened, or any explanation of why they claim it happened. Every graphic shown on their sites show vote totals contradicting their claim - no 31,000 vote jump.

Now these people are repeating the unverified 31k vote claim - still with no evidence - and claiming un-named election advocates are demanding a recount. If somebody was demanding a recount they would be named. It would be Marc Elias or the Tennessee Democratic party or some other named organization. By the way, whoever demands a recount in a race this far apart has to pay for it.

Whenever anybody says "they" are doing something without naming them, be suspicious. And use the same logic we use when Republicans claim antifa is a real organization -- they say it but can't name a single actual organization.

If somebody shows an actual jump of 31k votes (meaning documentation that at some point 94.6% of the vote was counted and the 100% vote was 31k higher) and names an actual organization that is on record as having filed for a recount I'll happily concede the point.

BREAKING: Election Advocates Demand Recount in Tennessee [View all] sheshe2 Dec 4 OP

1% of precincts could be 31,000 votes. A precinct isnt defined by number of people or % of votes SSJVegeta Dec 4 #1

It would be nearly impossible for 0.6% of the precincts in the District Wiz Imp Dec 4 #4

Those are still averages though. We are talking about a county with both a large rural and urban population SSJVegeta Dec 4 #5

Update: it would be absolutely impossible for 0.6% of the precincts Wiz Imp Dec 4 #6
