How Did 435.98% of Voters Cast Ballots in Precinct 760, Northampton County, Pennsylvania?

Over the past year, we’ve documented corruption at every layer of the U.S. electoral system—from back-door “de minimis” updates to voting equipment¹ and fake “ghost counties,” to more than 1.5 million votes for Kamala Harris disappearing in real time on Election Night.² We found it, we documented it, and we sounded the alarm—whether anyone wanted to hear it or not.

Now, a growing number of independent journalists are arriving at the same conclusion, following the evidence to the same unavoidable place.

“This is a 6,500-word article that can be summed up as follows: the GOP had motive, they had means, and they had opportunity. Every institution that could have stopped them chose to look the other way—or participate—in stealing the 2024 election. The proof is here.”
— Christopher Armitage, The Existentialist Republic³

Yet even as more than 41% of Democrats believe the election was stolen, Hakeem Jeffries maintains that there are “no election deniers” on this side of the aisle.⁴ And now, Ken Martin has announced that the Democratic National Committee will not release its internal analysis of the 2024 presidential election.⁵

Snip

Donald Trump publicly thanked Elon Musk for his knowledge of “those vote-counting computers” in Pennsylvania²⁵—and state attorneys general didn’t bat an eye:

Trump, “So, thank you to Elon.”

Jan 25
The reported turnout of 435.98% in Precinct 760 (Lower Mt. Bethel Township, Lower District) during the 2024 election was an artifact of how state and county systems handled a combined precinct.
Combined Precinct Data: For the 2024 general election, Northampton County combined "Lower Mt. Bethel D Lower" (Precinct 760) and "Lower Mt. Bethel D Independent" for tabulation purposes.
Voter Registration Mismatch: The Pennsylvania state reporting file listed only 164 registered voters for Precinct 760 specifically. However, the actual vote count of 715 for that location included voters from both the "Lower" and "Independent" districts (which had 739 registered voters of its own).
The Calculation Error: Dividing the combined total of 715 votes by only the 164 registered voters assigned to the "Lower" sub-precinct in the state file created the mathematically impossible percentage of 435.98%.
Official Confirmation: While unofficial election night reporting by private vendors sometimes contains these clerical data-mapping errors, official county records reflect a normal turnout percentage when both combined registration totals are accounted for.
Northampton County has experienced other clerical issues in the past, such as a 2023 human error where judicial retention race names were flipped on printed paper ballots, though the machine barcodes recorded the votes correctly.

They all act as though the elections will be fair and there is nothing to worry about.

Sun Jan 25, 2026, 09:19 AM
Jan 25

If you have a few moments, consider writing Joe Rogan's show to ask him to invite Elon Musk to the program to explain how he knew the 2024 presidential election results four hours in advance. No secretary of state would have allowed a citizen access to voter data four hours before the polls closed. In fact, many of these precincts and voting districts would not have posted data until after 8:00 p.m. when the polls closed in the east (even later in different time zones). So, what explanation is there other than Elon had some piece of software installed on machines or tabulators that either manipulated the data or provided information in advance of any official data releases? Elon spent 270 million dollars to elect Trump. No one invests that kind of money without a clear path to the ROI.

Just to be clear too. I am sure Elon would not disclose to anyone how his app worked or whether he engaged in election theft. However, these people have such big egos that they can hardly restrain themselves from talking about their technological prowess.

Here is the link to Joe Rogan website form if you care to write (https://www.joeroganexperiencereview.com/contact).

This is what I said to him writing the first time (of course, there was no response). I probably should not have mentioned that I am not a fan of the show.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,

I am not a fan of your show. However, I did see a clip during the 2024 presidential election where Mr. Rogan mentioned that Elon Musk knew about the presidential election results up to four hours ahead of everyone else. Later, Musk's son (X) all but admitted (hard for a small child to keep secrets) that Elon and his crew had tampered with the election.

I do not want to live in a country controlled by a megalomaniac who is constantly under the influence of ketamine. As such, I think it would be very interesting and timely to consider inviting Elon on your show to see if he will explain what he did with the election besides spend tons of money. I suspect he used his 650 direct to cell satellites to wake up and download an algorithm on ES&S and Dominion voting machines. However, no one can say for sure since the American public is so fickle that voting behavior swings widely from election to election.

I would guess your audience would like to know that someone is not choosing their elected leaders via electronic manipulation. Trump ran an anemic campaign in 2024. Yet, he someone managed to win all the swing states and flip counties that had never voted Republican. Not a single red county flipped the other way. This is very strange behavior that cannot be explained by the strength of his campaign or advertising (people generally do not switch parties that easily).

The Republican party has been perfecting election theft since they staged the fake outrage in Miami-Dade County, Florida in 2000 with operatives. The Democrats probably stole elections prior to that time with on-the-ground efforts in Chicago (Nixon accused Kennedy of such an effort). Either way, we need to know if someone is tampering with our election results (even foreign countries). Elon Musk has the technical capability to do it nationwide with his satellite network. It would be nice for you to ask him point blank about how he knew early results and whether his network connected with any of these voting machines as they were in sleep mode in voting locations (plugged in, but not active).

There are plenty of ways operatives can influence elections. However, someone who tampers with electronic results controls the outcome in a very predictable and inexpensive way. None of us want to live in a world where nothing we do or say makes any difference.

Please consider this as a show or podcast idea.

21. This is how Cheneybush "won" "re-election" in 2004
Sun Jan 25, 2026, 09:24 AM
Jan 25

Ohio in 2004 was the Florida of 2000. 2004 was the first year in which electronic voting machines were first widely used in a presidential election. Diebold vote counting machines were made in Ohio. Its CEO declared he would "deliver Ohio for Bush." Ohio's Secretary of State was also the Ohio chairman of the Bush re-election committee. Exit polls indicated that Kerry had won Ohio. Although Bush's win was a "surprise upset," Diebold went to court to get their vote counting machines designated "private property," and thus ineligible for forensic examination to make sure their reported results were accurate. However ONE of their machines, way out in some rural precinct DID get forensically examined before its owners came to collect it. This was a precinct with 600 registered voters. The machine reported 3000 votes for Bush. The machine's makers declared that it was just a "glitch" that by no means warranted forensic examination of the other machines. The Republicans did magnanimously reduce the margin of victory in Ohio by 2400 votes, though.

Forget Republican claims of "anti-kommanism." They are the consummate Stalinists ("Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything" ). правду сказать, товарищи!!

And money was taken out of your checking account immediately, not 'float time' anymore. Why? Because banks could run check thru a computer system at the end of the day. The money got transferred IMMEDIATELY! People who were counting on that good ol 'float time' it used to take from the time someone cashed your check until it was cleared from you checking account got hit with LOTS of overdraft charges. Banks make a lot of money on those charges.

The banks were getting all those overdraft charges because they went along with the new clearing procedure. They had to buy new comupter system to do all that. The maker of that computer system, the company that made a shit load of money because every bank in the US had to buy one? Diebold!

Cheney made sure they controlled vote counting via Diebold machines and he made sure Diebold and banks made a lot of money for going along.

devoid of meaningful rigging. It's actually easier for me to believe at least three of them were rigged, especially since we know with pretty damned close to 100% certainty that 2000 was.

We Democrats are thoughtful to a fault it seems. We question everything, including ourselves and the evidence we "think" exists. Meanwhile, the Rs go for the kill at every turn. It's no wonder we -- America -- are in the state we currently are in. Instead of simply going for the electoral kill, the Rs have turned to a more direct technique. They are now willfully killing us.

This stuff is yikes on bikes.

When do we have enough problems where this kind of social media conspiracy mongering that relies on math illiteracy is no longer a luxury we can afford to have? Because it feels like we should be there by now.

And the message that, "It doesn't matter if you vote, because space hackers will steal it!" is dangerous in its ability to discourage people to vote. We need every vote we can get to emerge from this mess.

And still these games get played.

This is what privilege looks like. To have the time to play in this way.

We don't have time and energy to waste on this bullshit. The orange ass got about the same votes as in 2020 but just like in 2010 the Democratic vote fell off. I blame a lot of it on the media and their hyping of the immigration "crises". The media will never be our friend so we have to be very smart on how to use it. It's not boring debates that change no ones minds anymore. The internet has changed the rules. It's whoever is the quickest and loudest. One only has to read the posts here to realize that for a keyboard warrior accuracy, spelling and grammar have gone out the window. Some like Jasmine Crocket and AOC know how to use it.
The attack on electronic voting is particularly upsetting. Quality is in the process. There is an old saying that 100% inspection is only 80% effective. The main way the Fascists have skewed elections is by voter suppression. And that's so easy even the total idiot in charge can do it. Make it harder for Democrats to vote by reducing voting sites is one easy way. Voter ID bs is another.

Why didn't Biden say or do something? Why didn't Harris herself say or do something? Why didn't the Democratic Party say or do something? I've yet to see anything approaching a reasonable answer to these questions.

To believe the election was stolen, let alone stolen so blatantly, one must necessarily believe that the Democratic Party, from Joe Biden on down, was too stupid, too cowardly, or too unconcerned to say or do anything about it. One must necessarily believe that they all stood aside and allowed it to happen without making a peep and haven't made a peep over a year later.

I simply can't believe that the entire Democratic Party meekly stood aside and just let it happen. It makes no logical sense.

A computer is a pile of electronic equipment until it has a program. The computer's first program is its operating system.

No matter who the Democratic candidate had been - Joe Biden, Kamela Harris, anyone else - the results would have been exactly the same. Exactly. The tabulators (vote-counting computers) were programmed to give Trump the win exactly as it happened.

People who scream and yell about our elections being fair without understanding computers need to learn a little bit about computers. Please

The question is, are there trumpers willing to risk everything to try to steal an election for him like that. I think we all know that the answer is yes, especially after the past year. There is no line they won't cross.
