There were not more votes than voters in Pennsylvania

CLAIM: There were 205,000 more votes than voters in the 2020 election in Pennsylvania.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. This analysis is based on incomplete data, according to the Pennsylvania Department of State.

THE FACTS: A misleading claim about election results from a group of Republican state lawmakers in Pennsylvania is circulating widely on social media a week before Congress meets to reaffirm Joe Biden’s decisive presidential win.

The claim emerged in a release from the Republican state Rep. Frank Ryan and several others on Monday.

“A comparison of official county election results to the total number of voters who voted on Nov. 3, 2020, as recorded by the Department of State shows that 6,962,607 total ballots were reported as being cast, while DoS/SURE system records indicate that only 6,760,230 total voters actually voted,” the release said.

The claim then spread to several right-wing websites and social media influencers, including Trump, whose tweet claiming Pennsylvania had 205,000 more votes than voters was retweeted 117,000 times.

However, these claims rely on incomplete data, according to Wanda Murren, communications director for the Pennsylvania Department of State, who called the lawmakers’ release “obvious misinformation.”

The Ass Pres can instantly debunk anything without even looking at any evidence. That’s how smart they are.

Asspress is a lying, lunatic outfit. And always flies like bats at anything that opposes the Democrat narrative.

This is either true, or false, or something else.

Ah, the "no it's not" defense. Guaranteed to leave your opponents jaw hanging open in speechless defeat.

They don’t even bother to ascertain or peruse the ‘true’ Registered Voter count. They just “Fact Check” with a denial based on “still uploading data” (10 WEEKS LATER and they still don’t know how many registered voters they had on October 19th? The last day to Register to vote in PA for Nov 3 election).

The claim that the election was not fraudulent has been disputed.

The work was done by Pennsylvania members of the legislature. They would be very experienced in the politics of this state and the intricacies of elections. I think they would know more than AP would know due to first hand experience. Everyone here knows full well that AP would say something like this no matter what the facts were.

The entire election is based on incomplete data. Obviously.

Why doesn’t the AP address illegally distributed unsolicited or verified votes?

Hey, AP. You correctly claim that there were just under 7 million (alleged) votes cast in Pennsylvania. You correctly claim that there are just over 9 million registered voters in the state. .. 7 of 9 is 77.77 percent. So, let’s say that 75 percent, or even 72 percent, of registered voters “voted” in the state. A percentage of registered voters who “vote” is never that high, especially in a large state. So where did several hundred thousand of those 7 million alleged voters come from?

AP news doing fact-checking?

It’s like asking Pelosi or Schumer if Trump is her/his most favorite president ever.

Of course AP is correct. The Pubbies did not include the deceased voters. You include them, and all is copacetic.

Torches and pitchforks, and tar and feathers time in the District of Corruption.
