NYT looked into some MAGA claims of Michigan ballots cast in the name of dead people. Actually:
- Clerical error where living woman was given default birthdate of 01/01/1901
- Other birthdate clerical error
- Living man has same name as his deceased dad

We're now almost 72 hours since polls closed... and we unsurprisingly have zero credible evidence of any "voter fraud." Well, except that Trump voter in AZ who got caught trying to double down. Like Karl Rove (of all people) said, it ain't a thing, folks.

Oh god, these desperate cons. Don’t they know that facts don’t care about their feelings? Or the elections have consequences?
I feel like they all need to cry more.

Look. I think if a dead person is that committed to democracy and has the energy and the wherewithal to make it to a polling place, I say, “Good on ya, dude! Go for it!”

So, basically, completely normal, mundane, everyday mistakes and coincidences, exactly like what's been found in other similar cases of alleged "fraud", blown out of proportion into an insane mess.
This race needs to be called soon, or this is only going to get worse.
