"This math ain't mathin(g) means that "things don't add up"; i.e. "What is being said or what was done doesn't make any sense"..

These comments are from Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, and Threads.*

"What am I missing here? The math isn't mathing.

Analysis

A few days ago, the state of Texas had just over 9 million early voters. Not our record, but still almost half of our over 18 million registered voters. Respectable.

But now we jump to the end of election day, and the state still only shows 9 million voters. Like absolutely nobody voted today somehow? And some webites were showing that only 2.5 million people voted early? Where did these numbers go?

I wasn't expecting a full 18 million, but after early voting I expected more than just the 9 million we had. Maybe a respectable 12 mil. Something isn't making sense here and I can't figure it out.

What am I missing?

Associated press now shows 11.5 million votes, about on par with what I expected. Just weird that they weren't in there most of the night."

"While Harris  conceded, she did say the fight is not over. Over 20 MILLION votes seem to have disappeared. 156 million voted in 2020. 2024 record early voting and many first time voters, and yet, the popular count only totaled 138.5 million. The math doesn't add up"

"Look, I want Harris to win as much as the next anti-fascist, but unless you have at least a shred of evidence to support what you're implying here, this is just a conspiracy theory.

Yeah, the ratio of early voters to election day voters is different this year. Maybe all that messaging about early voting finally sunk in?"

Congress? None of them will do sh-t*. He very likely cheated and they’re going to make us sit with it forever, basically."

"And 15,000,000 fewer votes that Biden got, when so much more was on the line this time. Add Trump’s statements at his rallies that “I don’t need the votes. I have plenty of votes”. Rachael Maddow pointed this out… something stinks and my first guess is it has something to do with Elmo’s bromance with Putin."

"Honestly, it does add up. Kamala had a whopping three months to campaign. I knew nothing about her policies and had very little time to research her. Meanwhile, Trump was instilling fear into a new generation of American bros. I WANTED Kamala to win but I think deep in my heart this is the result I expected."

"Really not into conspiracy theories, but his whole "We don’t need votes.

We’ve got all the votes" speil from July never did sit right.

Media ironically just wrote it off as prep for contesting election results.

Know we have some of the most secure election processes around, but can't shake

this feeling like we're missing something.

Also still wondering what this "little secret" with Johnson is."

"Oh my word Dr. Lena. Maths ain't mathin' - numbers are facts not conspiracies. I've never seen election results come in that fast. no we are not deluding ourselves. wed be deluding ourselves if we didn't question it. i put nothing past these bastards.

The pentagon is loyal to and pledged an oath to the constitution not the president. NO it depends on whats decent. I have faith in our military. we've fought too much tierany to cave to that orange bastard.

rest assured gloating and misogyny are both rampant.  hell maga ppl finding out their Christmas bonus' are being cancelled so employers can stock up on materials before the tariffs kick in.  too bad so sad losers!

things are going on behind the scenes. there is no way they would announce a federal investigation  considering the current atmosphere. civil war would breakout."
