    PETER THIEL: If it is going to be close, by the way, if it is a razor-thin close election, I'm pretty sure Kamala will win because they will cheat.

    They will cheat. They will fortify it. They will steal the ballots. In the event that it is close, I don't want to be involved. In the event that it is not close, I don't need to be involved. So that it is a straightforward analysis right there.

    HOST: How much cheating to you think happens every year?

    PETER THIEL: You need to be careful with the verb. Cheating, stealing -- implies something happens in the dark of night. I think the verb you're allowed to use is "fortify."

    Like ballot harvesting, all these rule changes were sort of done in plain daylight. I think our elections are not perfectly clean, otherwise, we could examine it and have a vigorous debate about it.

    HOST: What would you change then

    PETER THIEL: I don't know. At a minimum, you'd try to run elections the same way you do it in every other Western democracy. You have one-day voting. You have practically no absentee ballots. It's one day where everything happens, it's not this two-month elongated process. That the way they do it in every other country. You'd have a somewhat stronger voter ID and make sure that the people who are voting have a right to vote. That's basically what they do in every other Western democracy, and it used to be more like that in the U.S. It has meaningfully decayed over the last 20-30 years.

    30-40 years ago, you got the results on the day of the vote. That sort of stopped happening.

  2. Then do the right thing and don't vote. That's what you're saying, right? I think that's a good choice for you.

    "republicans" (magatards) had stolen the 2016 election.

    they tried to steal the 2020 election.

    they will try to steal the 2024 election.


    but this election won't be close.


    Kamala Harris will get at least 90 million votes and she will win many more states than anybody could imagine today.

    It never ceases to amaze me that they stole 2020 right from under Trump's nose.

    The digital is an arb here. Kamala pays 75/100 if she wins popular vote. Play it 4X and Trump to win EC at 48/100 offer at 2X but I don't see the point of the EC-wager when the popular vote is a lock at 75/100.
