Numbers can’t lie. Since the dust has settled on the 2024 presidential election, the dustup on the 2020 election begs many questions. The numbers don’t add up or add up way too much thanks to being able to multiply after hours.
The disparity between the two elections was telling with Trump winning the Electoral College in 2024: 312 to 226 and the popular vote by over three million: 76,774,450 to 74,245,956.
Trump’s electoral victory was the most by a Republican since 1988 and his third presidential election win in a row.
Barack Obama received 69 million votes in 2008 and 65 million in 2012. In 2020, Sleepy Joe Biden’s basement campaign collected 81 million. Trump had massive rallies, while Biden couldn’t draw flies.
Early returns had Trump winning but like a political vampire rising before dawn, Biden’s crop of absentee ballots, vote harvesting and drop boxes rolled in by the truckload as the steal was on. Taking advantage of COVID, democrats refused to “never let a crisis go to waste.”........
