ry that just blows up and in the initial days everything you know about the story ends up being wrong, right? We call that the fog of war. When it's new and there's too many things happening all the information is wrong. You don't know anything until a few days have gone by. I would say that the election and allegations of election fraud were very much that fog of war situation. Very much a fog o…

Would you object? Because the Hunter Biden stuff I think is real and it's also a risk to the United States because it puts him in a compromised, blackmailable situation, wouldn't you say? Which makes Biden the senior in sort of a blackmailable situation. And so I feel that even Republicans are way better off if Hunter Biden gets a pardon like just a generic get-out-of-jail-free card because I don't want China to come later and say you know we got a little something on you Hunter Biden. Or I don't want Joe Biden to be thinking well China hasn't directly threatened to blackmail me but they do have the goods. They do have the goods or they might have the goods so I'm just going to be sort of biased in their favor not because they've threatened me, not because of a specific problem, but because of Hunter, just the whole situation. I just don't want China to use that in some way.
Of course it would affect him. Fathers are affected by the needs of their children. So I would say we should get past, if it turns out that Biden takes office, still uncertain but if it happened, I think we should do a trade. Pardon for a pardon.
All right, somebody pointed out on Twitter and I hate when I do this so I apologize to the whole world for doing this. Every now and then I'll see a witty comment on Twitter and I'll remember it but I won't write down who said it so I can't give them credit. But the idea is so good or funny that I still want to say it. But it's not mine. I'm just saying I don't know who said it first.
Somebody said it must be a simulation we're living in because what are the odds that this election fraud thing would come down to Republicans finding a bald-headed genius whose last name is Braynard.
Now I don't know if you've seen a picture of him but Matt Braynard who apparently is some genius data analyst on the Trump side of things and he's been looking at all the fraud allegations from the data analysis domain and he's one of the people in this conversation that people actually trust because he had serious talent and experience in this domain, data analysis.
So his data analysis is picking up some interesting things such as he said quote "I can show you the names of people who voted in multiple states and the raw data states make available." So in other words he's just using the data. He's using the state's own data. He's not making up data. He's just using the state's own data. And he said you could show that the same people voted in multiple states.
Now here's the question. The first thing you ask is, "Scott don't you know that there are probably a lot of people named Scott Adams who voted in all 50 states because there are people named Scott Adams who did vote probably in all 50 states. I don't know about Rhode Island or Alaska but probably. I'll bet there are three Scott Adams's in my town." So if you looked at duplicate names on voter rolls across states of course you're going to find a lot of them.
But I did a follow-up and I said if I tweet this — I asked somebody who knew the answer to this question — if I tweet this am I gonna be embarrassed later that somebody's gonna just say, "Scott you know there are a lot of people with the same name."
And of course let me go back to my initial point. Did I mention that Matt Braynard is a genius and his last name is Braynard? If your last name is named after a brain you're pretty smart. It has to happen that way because the simulation.
So Matt Braynard does know that people in different states could have the same name. Believe it or not geniuses know that. Nobody had to tell him. So he did check for that of course. So whatever they did to double check for that he is smart enough to know that people with the same name live in other states. So don't worry that that's all that's happening. There's more than that.
Now is that enough? Did he find enough of those votes that would change the election? Well here's the really clever part of this alleged election fraud. If the election fraud happened it happened in multiple ways in the areas where it happened. So in other words there probably were some dead people who voted. There probably were some batches of ballots that got grabbed from the people who were supposed to get them. There probably were some people voting in two states. There probably were some ballot harvesting. There probably were some fake ballots fed in somewhere. There probably was some mischief with the software probably.
And the problem here is that if you're on the other team and you're trying to say hey this election is fraudulent, what if you find three of the seven ways that the election was stolen? Or let's s

ay you can prove three of them. You feel pretty confident the others are real but you can prove three of them out of seven. What will the court say? You've got seven claims. Three of them look pretty darn solid. Four of them may be true but you can't prove it. The court will say those three, if you add them together, do not change the result of the election because you needed all seven. And the co…
