      Trump said months before the election that he’s got it covered and he isn’t worried about it. Why would that be? He told us what he was doing at the time, his people were rigging it.

        And even:

        Yes, Trump said Musk knows vote-counting computers ‘better than anybody’

        He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide.

        The idiot can’t keep his mouth shut and basically blabbed exactly what they were doing, yet nobody really listened.

        It will never cease to astound me.

      Hijacking the top comment to mention (as posted in more detail below) that this actually has a very logical explanation. In short, Biden also got 0 votes in some precincts, which was a total flip from 2016 where Clinton won by large margins. The difference? The community is 100% Hasidic, and community leaders met with Clinton during her Senate race while Bill was president. During this time, there were community members being indicted for a fraudulent Hasidic school. The community voted for Clinton for Senate, and shortly after Bill commuted the sentences of these community members. I.e., very possibly a quid pro quo. So that community in particular supports Clinton for this very specific reason, when Trump was still a relatively unknown quantity, and then flips to support Trump for his very aggressive support of Israel during his first term. I despise Trump, and would love him locked up, but these are cherry picked numbers that prove nothing.
