There's an elaborate, but mostly meaningless "analysis" floating around that purports to "prove" that the 2024 election was stolen. It consists of stats and graphs of supposedly "anomalous" voting patters in a handful of cherry-picked counties.
The graphs are very pretty, but they just aren't evidence of fraud. They're very similar to the supposed "proof" that the 2020 election was stolen.
"Proof" that reenforces what you want to believe has to be approached with extreme caution.

I'm currently being swarmed on Bluesky by a posse that's mad at me for failing to acknowledge that the 2024 election was clearly stolen. I honestly have no idea if this is a bot army or real people. It's a very attractive explanation for the outcome of an election that disappointed you, so it's very easy to peddle stuff like this.

It's especially notable that none of these "smoking guns" were raised by the Harris campaign or any other candidate to contest the election results before they were certified. Mostly because they don't actually show evidence of fraud.
Elections are decided by the votes reflected on the ballots that were cast, not by how well those votes conform to polling or prior elections.
