Top Democrat pollsters to release review of 2020 projections that acknowledges 'major errors'

Memo poses at least three possible causes for the inaccurate polling including late movement toward Trump, other GOP candidates.

Five of the Democratic Party’s biggest pollsters will release a memo Tuesday on the results of a months-long audit on their 2020 polling that will include what they’re calling "major errors" when comparing projections to final numbers.

The effort is an attempt in large part to understand why Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden narrowly defeated President Trump despite most polls showing him well ahead and House Democrats losing a net 12 seats amid projections of big gains, according to Politico.

The five Democratic firms that signed onto the memo are ALG Research, Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group, GBAO Strategies, Global Strategy Group and Normington Petts. They are five of the top six polling firms working for the Democratic Party apparatus, along with Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research, according to financial disclosure reports. ALG Research was Biden's lead pollster in last year's election.

The memo floats at least three possible causes for the inaccurate polling: late movement toward Trump and Republican candidates that polls failed to catch, the pandemic causing people who stayed home to answer the phone at a greater rate than those who did not follow restrictions, Politico also reports.

All this is is a CYA attempt at somehow explaining what we know as fraud in the election as being just a harmless error in their polling.

The only ‘major error’ they will acknowledge is that they got caught.

“Chief, we think Joe is going to get about 10 million votes, tops. He’s going down. It’s unbelievably bad.”
“That’s OK. Put out a poll showing him 10 points ahead of Trump. We’ll manufacture 50 million votes, he’ll win easily and people will say they expected it.”

“Chief, polls have closed, looks like Joe will get those 60 million votes. But, bad news, it won’t be enough. Trump is going to get about 80 million votes. It’s over. Polls are closed. There’s nothing we can do.”
“Not so fast. Clear the buildings in 5 counties. We’ll take 10 million votes away from Trump, we’ll add 20 million votes to Joe. We’ll do it while everyone is asleep. No one will ever know.”

“Chief, can we do that?”
“Been planning it for months. No worries.”

“But Chief, this means Joe’s votes will exceed anything we polled.”
“Don’t worry. Round about mid-April we’ll put out word that our polling had major errors, but we fixed the glitch.”

“Late movement towards Trump”

Undeniable support they could no longer ignore.

More votes than any sitting president in history.

The polling was the biggest part of the fraud scheme. They knew they had to lie so their media whores could just chime in with “yup, just like we said, Joe and Kimmie are going to win tonight.”

Good job.

There is only ONE legitimate POTUS and his name is Donald Trump. He is now in exile as the result of a criminal coup orchestrated by the Deep State, the Chinese, the Fraud from Kenya, and the Democrat Party. The lunatic now sitting in the White House masquerading as POTUS will soon be ordered to get back in his basement so the Jamaican Marionette can complete the destruction of our Constitutional Republic. Tak it to the bank!

What ticks me off is publications like the American Spectator writing stories about GOP gains in certain communities. They make no sense.

To what are they referring? If it is regarding the 12 seats gained by R’s in the House it makes sense....right?
