Why doesn’t the AP address illegally distributed unsolicited or verified votes?
Chinese news!
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.

“Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism,”
According to the AP as of today (12/29/2020) 99% of votes have been counted and a total of 6,917,583 votes were cast for President. That is according to the AP’s own numbers.
Not sure how they can verify numbers when their own numbers are wrong according to the article.
So AP didn't conduct their own statistical analysis to verify this, and instead took the word of Pennsylvania's Secretary of State? Sounds queer to me.
Social media users in recent weeks have also made similar claims that there were more votes counted than registered voters in battleground states and key cities.
Those claims are easily debunked. In Pennsylvania, for example, there were nearly 7 million votes cast. The total number of registered voters in 2020 was just over 9 million.
I don't recall anyone saying there were more votes than registered voters in an entire state. So then they give as their example some statewide numbers. The AP is lying.
AssPress says “Nuh uh”
The AP is confusing registered voters with those who are actually on record as having voted. The issue is the total votes cast exceeds the number of voters on record as having officially voted.
If its AP, its a lie.
I’ll repost what I posted on Facebook:
AP fact check gets it all wrong. They never claimed more votes than voters. The claim was more votes than voters who the state system recorded as having voted. Even the fact check shows a nearly impossible level of voter participation. Really tired of the egregious deflections and coverups in main stream reporting. And facebook is at the center of it. Facebook is a truly evil platform.
I’m aware that Trump misspoke on Twitter and misreprented this issue. He was mistaken, and corrected himself. Now the AP is making the same error. From the AP’s description, the AP is doing it on purpose.
The isuue here is not that Pennsylvania had more votes than registered voters, as the AP describes it. The issue is that Pennsylvania had more completed ballots than voters who voted.
The AP constructed and burned down a straw man. Their defense is meaningless.
I might would believe the AP, had the numbers released hadn’t come with the state’s own documentation...
Someone is lying, best guess is it is the media covering for their Party.
