I've been keeping up with a lot of it. The Starlink thing is likely a red herring. Spoonamoore, whose kicked this thing off, thinks that the tabulators were likely hacked before election day somehow.

So, the bullet ballots are the oddest thing. In every single election, you'll get a super small amount of bullet ballots, like 0.3% of them. And there's typically a margin in which the likelihood of these things occur. You can tell there are bullet ballots when there's more votes for a President than the down ballot candidates (i.e. other state elections), essentially signifying that somebody went and voted for just the President and no other races. They're finding something like 7-12% bullet ballots in the swing states and ONLY the swing states, which is significant...it's a statistical anomaly.

So...questions start to pile up. How did so many pollsters get it wrong in only the swing states? Why were there SO MANY bomb threats in only swing state ballot counting stations? Why were there SO MANY bullet ballots in only this election? Why did Democrats win nearly every other downballot race in these elections, but somehow Trump had a massive win? Why are all of these "weird things" only happening in swing states?

For reference on the bullet votes, a graph showing the bullet ballots percents:
