    Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. This is concerning, but not a bombshell itself.

      There is extraordinary evidence. The county in question received 0 votes for Kamala, not some. 0. And yet plenty of people voted democratic. That is a fucking HUGE statistical anomaly.

        The lawsuit being brought on this for Rockland County New York. In that county the Harris/Walz ticket got over 63,000 votes in the presidential election last year, I’m not sure where this article is looking to make the 0 vote claim.

      I know the quote, and dislike it.

      “Claims require evidence” is a better way of saying it, no need to decide if the evidence is extraordinary enough to be accepted.

      And yes, I know Carl Sagan was hugely intelligent and important in the science field, I’ll still disagree with this quote
