As votes continue to be counted, Donald Trump’s lead feels so massive that it’s hard to see how Kamala Harris didn’t significantly underperform the Biden Benchmark of 2020. She didn’t just blow it; she blew it bigly.
In 2020, there were 81+ million votes cast for Biden and 74+ million cast for Trump — a grand total of over 155 million votes. Currently, there’s about 138 million total votes counted for the 2024 cycle. Trump is less than 3 million short of his 2020 benchmark, meaning the bulk of the almost 20 million vote deficit is coming from the Harris camp. Of course, votes in some of the big blue states will continue to trickle in for days (or weeks?!) after the fact, and Harris’ final count will continue to rise. But this is still a drastic difference for the morning after; where the hell did all these Biden loyalists go?
The West Coast is most glaring: Harris is over 800,000 votes short of 2020 numbers in Washington (64% reporting); 400,000 votes short in Oregon (73% reporting); 500,000 votes short in Colorado (76% reporting); and a whopping 5.5 million votes short in California (58% reporting). This will likely continue to narrow. But take California, where the split is 57% to 40% Harris. If she stays on the same trajectory, that will still put her almost 2 million shy of Biden’s 11+ million votes in the state. Even if she ramps it up to Biden’s 63% to 34%, that’s only 10.3 million votes for Harris.
Yet even states with high reporting still show Harris significantly behind. At 99% reporting, Harris is about 450,000 votes shy of Biden in Texas. At 94% reporting, she’s down almost 1 million votes in New York. She’s down about 650,000 votes in Illinois with 91% of the vote in, and down roughly the same in Florida with 99% reporting.
Across the Sunbelt states of Arizona (64% reporting), Louisiana (99% reporting), Mississippi (73% reporting), Alabama (99% reporting) and Georgia (99% reporting), she’s down roughly another 600,000 votes combined.
Heading up to the north, Harris trails in Maryland (82% reporting) by an additional 500,000 votes. She’s down about 200,000 votes in Virginia (99% reporting), but that has nothing on New Jersey. At 90% reporting, Harris is about 500,00 votes shy of Biden in the state. At 93% reporting, Harris is about 300,000 votes down in deep blue Massachusetts, and another 200,000 shy in Connecticut (85% reporting). In Ohio (96% reporting), she’s down roughly another 200,00 thousand votes.
There are smaller deficits elsewhere, but add it all together, and you’ll get pretty close to the total margin from 2020. Remember, the numbers are going to continue narrowing, but any way you cut it: this is a bad, bad night for Harris.
The people who cheated the election KNOW that they cheated the election. And that can’t stand or spread. So we’re going to see a lot of articles EXPLAINING where those votes went. Most likely, seeing them as people choosing not to vote because the Dems didn’t keep good old Joe Biden.
They will NOT look back beyond 2020 because that would show the consistency of the vote. They WILL analyze 2020 and 2024 because they can make a rationalization with decrying political bosses choosing Harris instead of an open convention.
Didn’t conventions USED to be open? Wasn’t it possible to get America to pay enough attention after the conventions to feel at ease with their candidate? That is, until one lost. Just ranting.
We need to keep the conversation going but keep pushing back into the 2012 and 2016 elections to not let the point be lost of EXTRA votes not STAY AT HOME VOTERS. Otherwise it’s too easy to let the truth be buried and readers just ignore the problem.
A few falsified ballots here, some more over there, adds up in a hurry. This time, there were a lot more eyes watching.
“Didn’t conventions USED to be open?”
They always had a ‘patina’ of openness, but prior to the TV era, top tier candidates and even down ballot ones, were chosen by the party elites in the proverbial “smoke-filled back room” amid deals and squeals. The rank-and-file party members were instructed to vote for this or that candidate and that was an order. Then the newspapers would proudly proclaim that democracy was served............

Sigh.
Going on three days in and we still see 58% reporting, 63% reporting, 71% reporting ... WTF have these states been doing? FL was done 3 hours after the polls closed FCOL.
I am sure that it is no coincidence that these slow-pokes are all blue states. That simply adds to the belief that those states are waiting for all the “newly found” bags of votes to show up. But they cannot wait too long for the ‘late arrivals’ else the steal is exposed.
Sheeeesh ...
So, in effect, the choosing of Harris was essentially the ‘old way’ just in a modern costume..................
CA is only 60% counted - 10 million. That means about 8 million to go.
Quite a few other states are 70 something percent.
The current difference between 2020 and 2024 vote totals is closer to 15 million, not 20.
The 2020 steal was mostly in 6 blue cities in swing states. It did not require many millions of ballots.
But hey, it’s mainly the left who are claiming fraud due to missing ballots compared to 2020 so I say let them feel cheated for a change for however long it lasts.
I did the math. It’s more like 16 million
HEY, CHEATING TAKES TIME! THESE ARE EXPERTS AFTER ALL!..................
That’s easy. A good percentage of the dem’s beasts of burden ( only a few dozen people at best ) who delivered those votes in 2020 were POd by the Harris bait and switch the party pulled. They were 100% for Biden and showed it the only way they could. Was Harris’ people expecting the fake votes this time? Yes. Would those votes been there if Biden stayed the candidate? We’ll never know nor do I care.
Bytes in the Cloud.
Sounds like a song title.
My math skills are rusty, but that’s how I was calculating it yesterday.
Yet, the Democrats already are spreading a rumor that 20 million votes are missing this year, even though the count isn’t complete.
If the Dems cheated in 2020 on a massive scale, then they must’ve cheated again this year. But, this time, their cheating wasn’t enough to beat Trump.
That’s because after the hanging chad controversy, Florida officials decided to pull their heads out of their rear ends and get their act together to stop being a national joke where elections are concerned. Didn’t take them long but they’ve been good for over two decades now. Apparently other states don’t mind being shamed about electoral incompetence and if it helps the dems, they’re rather proud of it.
Yep...harder to cheat this time.
Want to know if (where) the cheat occurred in 2020? You need only 4 data-sheets:
1. 2012 votes for Obama and Romney at the county level.
2. 2016 votes for Trump and Hillary at the county level.
3. 2020 votes for Biden and Trump at the county level.
4. 2024 votes for Trump and Harris at the county level.
With this in hand, a small number of counties will stick out like sore-thumbs as having a huge spikes in Biden votes in 2020 vs. those same counties’ numbers in the 2012, 2016 and 2024 contests. It HAS to be only a few counties as the risk of exposure would have increased dramatically the more the fake votes were spread around.
I believe that the reason for so many fewer Democrat votes is multiple
1. Better poll watchers this year v 2020 not allowing for massive cheating
No midnight stopping and still counting
2. No Covid to use for cheating with mail in and early voting
3. Biden/Harris have hurt lower and middle class families with their policies so they were not enthusiastic at all
4. High volume of tech sector layoffs typically college educated and liberal and now unemployed so they were apathetic or angry, see point 3
5. Republican turnout was higher and motivated
Republicans should find them and apply to our Senate and House candidates.
