While we all wait for legal proceedings to play out across the country, please take a look at vote #'s for Georgia below.
Also note that Michigan currently has both a contested Presidential and Senate race too.
Finally add Wisconsin and Pennsylvania that combined with Georgia and Michigan make up a select group of the ONLY FOUR STATES in the United States individually each where Biden got more votes than both Clinton & Obama did in 2016 and 2012, respectively.
Here is just Georgia :
Current count in 2020-Biden 2.461M; final for 2016 and 2012: Clinton 1.878M; 2012-Obama 1.773M
Current count for Senate race-Purdue 2.456M vs Ossoff 2.366M
Current count in 2012 for Biden 2.461M vs Osoff 2.366M = 90K difference
Current count in 2020 for Trump 2.454M vs Purdue 2.456M = 2K difference
Considering 76 million people ousted Trump while giving the GOP a net gain in House seats, I’d say straight party ticket wasn’t the case this year.
Trump lost the popular in 2016 by almost 3 million votes. He said that it was because upwards of five million illegals voted. When he became POTUS he set up a commission to find all of that voter fraud. And after a year it disbanded for lack of evidence. And this year he lost the popular vote by a greater margin. Except this time he set the stage before the election. One thing I have observed is that it seems that some Trump supporters just don’t understand that Trump may not be a popular as they thing he is.
Look at the 2018 election in GA. The governor’s race was the closest vote for a governor than we’ve had for a while. Also, Gwinnett County turned purple in 2016, and is one of the most populous counties in GA.
Add in that in 2016, I voted 3rd party for president and Republican for Senate.
Also, in 2016 4,146,825 people voted in GA. in 2020, 4,984,395 voted.
Given all that, the numbers for GA don’t surprise me one bit.
The president lost Michigan by 2.6% and John James lost by 1.5%. If there is a recount, they will have to pay for it. We have paper ballots in Michigan so the trail should be there.
Unless you think that they faked 150,0000+ ballots on election night.
