Where would Conspiracy theories on the Election go?[edit]

Hi! This is my first edit on RationalWiki, even though I've been using it for quite a while. I wanted to know where conspiracy theories that gang raped social media occurring right after the election would go in this wiki. I have some things I wanted to talk about in a section. Where would be a good place to put each of these subjects?

Dead Man's Votes -- "I have awoken from my eternal slumber to feast on the brains of the living. And to vote for Joe Biden" Operation Hammer and Scorecard -- "My computer can hack into the government and change votes as they're counted. What can yours do?" Ballots coming in after 8pm -- "Sorry, I can't grade the assignments after the due date." -Some jerkass teacher out there. Mail-in Voting -- "Help! People care about their health and safety!" Trump's Election Denial -- When you can't win by reason, go for volume. Trump Election War Room -- Of course people just took it as a chance to send furry porn to the White House!

Do you know where any of these would go? Thanks, Laser Bread (talk) 19:23, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Conspiracy I've found[edit]

Hey, two Trump supporting friends of mine are saying the elections were rigged because in one of the states: 1. Republican observer was not allowed in despite democratic one being present 2. The windows were covered by cardboard to prevent people from looking inside 3. Several thousand votes for Biden popped out of nowhere there. My answer to that was that these were the mail-in votes. I heard they need to be counted in secrecy, and the reason they were all for Biden is because Trump told his supporters not to vote via mail-in. Came here hoping to find more ammo for the discussions, but doesn't seem like that point was even mentioned here... Does anyone know what I 'm talking about? 2A02:C7F:B416:3500:9544:88F4:EF:A98C (talk) 09:40, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Greens & Libertarians[edit]

Why weren't the candidates for the Greens & Libertarians not added? Other election pages had them. Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 13:08, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Two suggestions regarding this page[edit]

I think it'd be nice if we added sources to the 'Why is it this way?' section, as it currently lacks any, and expanding the 'Zombies Voted' subsection of the article to debunk the claims, like what was done with the other subsections under 'Fraud claims'.
