I just want him not to run and throw his support to DeSantis or whomever emerges in the primaries of 2024. I am sure all the Jan 6th hearings and continual investigations of Trump are nothing but deflection off the disaster which is Biden-Harris. LETS GO BRANDON!

For urging his followers to "fight like hell" and urging Pence to do something illegal. In essence to overturn a legal election.

19 percent of republicans want him prosecuted and that number will grow. Numerous polls are showing the same results.

About the Study

This ABC News/Ipsos poll was conducted from June 17 to June 18, 2022, by Ipsos using the probability-based KnowledgePanel®. This poll is based on a nationally representative probability sample of 545 adults age 18 or older.
According to the Statista website there were approximately 168.31 million registered voters in the US during 2020.

Doing some quick math:

545/168,310,000 = 3.238072604e-6

Or, maybe this way is easier to visualize:

545/168,310,000 = 0.000003238072604

There are approximately 35,800 thoroughbred races in my 2021 database.

(35,800) x (3.238072604e-6) = 0.11592

or:

(35,800 races) x (3.238072604e-6) = 0.11592 races

Fyi, 0.11592 races is roughly the same as a single horse from a 9 horse field.

Imo, the statement by the authors of the USA Today article "Almost six out of 10 Americans want former President Donald Trump criminally charged in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot" has about the same statistical accuracy I'd have if I created a model for betting thoroughbreds after randomly selecting a single horse from a 9 horse field and using that as my development sample.

It might be an interesting exercise.

But the sample size is way too small to make accurate unbiased predictions about future events.

FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS!

I agree.

But not illegal.

Where you fail is your having to use "in essence."

"In essence" doesn't win convictions.

But you know this.

i am looking at your number of 168 million registered voters and comparing them to the number of actual votes cast which were (supposedly) 160 million... that number is basically impossible. at a minimum, out of those registered voters, 15% of them have no clue who to vote for in the middle of a pandemic and will not vote.

i know that Trump claims he got rigged. he might have been rigged, or he might have done some rigging on his own, or more than likely both sides did plenty of rigging. there is no way in hell that 160 million people voted in the middle of the pandemic to vote for either one of those 2 jerks. `

From a pure numbers standpoint, it makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Rigging is an interesting term because it can mean a lot of things.

Is the slanted reporting by the Press a form of rigging, and does it have an effect on election outcomes?

When USA Today reports "Almost six out of 10 Americans want former President Donald Trump criminally charged in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot" based on a poll with a sample size of just 545:

Is that an attempt to rig the next election?

I think all of us know the answer.
