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.”

Professional liars can be expected to lie. The AP are certainly not journalists.

When are we going to be allowed to do signature verification in Fulton County, Georgia? The process is going VERY slowly. @BrianKempGA Pennsylvania just found 205,000 votes more than they had voters. Therefore, we WIN Pennsylvania!!!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 29, 2020

I know Rep. Frank Ryan and he is pretty sharp. I don’t think he would screw up the numbers. He’s a very meticulous CPA.

I read and posted the Pennsylvania State Department response to Frank’s letter. They were talking nonsense.

AP: (Waves hand) “These are not the droids you want.”

Idk, what is the purpose of the Pa SURE registry if it doesn’t track real voters?

Total population of PA is 12,801,989 with 20% under 18 years old. Total employment just under 5.5 million.

"Professional liars can be expected to lie."

Our media and government are infested with sociopaths.

Shameless lying is the hallmark of sociopathy. Lying even more - when caught red-handed - is the confirmation.

I read the article.

AssPress sure is trying to disprove Rep Ryan’s claim. They claim that all counties had not uploaded their numbers at the time the cited numbers were taken.

Wonder if there are any final numbers out there.

Heavens to Mergatroyd. The Ape Pee's exhaustive investigation consisted of copying and pasting the press release sent to it by the the PA Dept. of State. Whatever THAT is.

Every single Social Media site displays the AP CALLS THE ELECTION FOR BIDEN disclaimer. So, is anyone surprised by this AP proclamation? Or, by the Penn, SoS denouncing it?

Would anyone be surprised if the “complete” stats were uploaded NOW they would match EXACTLY the total votes cast? It’s why they count absentee and mail-in ballots last—so they will know how many they need to “count”.
