I am not surprised he won

I am surprised he won the popular vote, and 7/7 swing states

That just seems like he's feeding his own ego

The 7/7 swing states is the most likely scenario once you figure out which way the polling error goes. Either candidate was likely to win all the swing states once you figure out which way the voting was breaking.

"scientific rigor" = conspiracies. Ironic.

The fact you're calling them "Elon's voting machines" shows you have not one iota of a clue how US elections are run.
