How could the ‘bellwether counties’ get it so wrong?
Must Read Alaska ^ | 11/06/20 | Suzanne Downing

Several counties in America are considered the “bellwethers,” the ones that nearly always vote for the eventual winner of the presidential race. And by “nearly always,” we mean it’s remarkable how accurate they are throughout history.

This year, the bellwether counties voted heavily for Donald Trump, and for many of them, it appears they have broken their near-perfect records of predicting the winner, if the current trends hold and Biden is elected president.

Valencia County, New Mexico – perfect record with the electoral college winner since 1952 (longest current perfect streak). 2020: Trump 54%, Biden 44.%

Vigo County, Indiana (county seat: Terre Haute) – has had 2 misses (1908, 1952) from 1888 on, and a perfect record since 1956. From 1960 to 2004, Vigo County has been within 3 percent of the national presidential vote every election. 2020: Trump – 56.20%, Biden – 41.45%

Westmoreland County, Virginia (county seat: Montross) – two misses since 1928 (in 1948 and 1960), perfect since 1964. 2020: Not posted.

Ottawa County, Ohio (county seat: Port Clinton) – one miss since 1948 (in 1960), perfect since 1964. 2020: Trump – 60.8%, Biden – 37.7%.

Wood County, Ohio (county seat: Bowling Green) – one miss since 1964 (in 1976), perfect since 1980. 2020: Trump – 52.86%, Biden – 45.24%

Kent County, Delaware – two misses since 1928 (in 1948 and in 1992). 2020: Not posted.

Coös County, New Hampshire (county seat: Lancaster) – two misses since 1892 (in 1968 and 2004) 2020: Trump – 52.2, Biden – 46.2%.

Essex County, Vermont – one miss since 1964 (in 1976), perfect since 1980. 2020: Trump – 57.10%, Biden – 37.91%.

Juneau County, Wisconsin – one miss since 1952 (in 1960), perfect since 1964. 2020: Trump – 8,749, Biden – 4,747.

Sawyer County, Wisconsin – one miss since 1952 (in 1960), perfect since 1964. 2020: Trump – 5,883, Biden – 4,494.

Sargent County, North Dakota (county seat: Forman) – one miss since 1948 (in 1988). 2020: Trump – 59.96%, Biden – 35.05%

Blaine County, Montana (county seat: Chinook) – one miss since 1916 (in 1988). 2020: Biden – 51%, Trump – 47%

Clallam County, Washington – two misses (1968, 1976) since 1920. 2020: Biden – 51.87%, Trump – 45.78%.

Stanislaus County, California (county seat Modesto) – one miss since 1972 (in 2016). 2020: Biden – 52.81%, Trump – 45.21%.

Ventura County, California – two misses since 1920 (in 1976 and 2016). 2020: Biden – 60.32%, Trump – 37.78%.

Merced County, California (county seat Merced) – one miss since 1972 (in 2016). 2020: Biden – 55.20%, Trump – 42.30%.

Hidalgo County, New Mexico (county seat: Lordsburg) – one miss since 1928 (in 1968), perfect since 1972. 2020: Trump – 56.7%, Biden – 41.7%.

Bexar County, Texas (county seat: San Antonio) – two misses since 1932 (in 1968 and 2016). 2020: Biden – 127,507, Trump – 89,991.

Val Verde County, Texas – two misses since 1924 (in 1968 and 2016). 2020: Trump – 7839, Biden – 6401

Hillsborough County, Florida (county seat: Tampa) – two misses since 1928 (in 1992 and 2016). 2020: Biden – 52.69%, Trump – 45.87%

Calhoun County, South Carolina – one miss since 1972 (in 1980), perfect since 1984. 2020: Trump – 4,302, Biden – 3903.

Colleton County, South Carolina – one miss since 1968 (in 1980), perfect since 1984. 2020: Trump – 54.12%, Biden – 45.20%.

Washington County, Maine – one miss since 1972 (in 1976), perfect since 1980. 2020: Trump – 59.1%, Biden – 38.5.

While these are the top bellwether counties, there are many more that are considered to be predictive. The entire list is found at Wikipedia.

They went for the winner, Donald Trump.

Donald Trump was cheated out of his legitimate win.

President Trump was the de facto winner; through fraud, corruption and cowardice, Biden is the de jure winner.

By every single statistical election norm, Trump won.

That’s what they call a statistical impossibility.

All norms totaled = 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 odds

Biden won the Electoral College vote and became President.

We know that the selection of electors in certain states was accomplished through the counting of illegal ballots.

The fix lies in the hands of the legislatures of those states.

Those legislatures did not act quickly enough to fix the problems in this election cycle.

Some of them are taking action to make sure there will be no repeat next time, but...

...there is no guarantee that there will ever be a next time.

The RINOs think they have won big. Trump is gone and hatred for Biden’s policies will cause a Red Wave in 2022.

The RINOs are in for a shock when they lose - legitimately - in 2022 because MAGA conservatives don’t bother to vote in rigged elections.

Perdue/Loeffler was just a preview of what awaits the party.

Some people seem to always get things right, like Warren Buffett and his investments. And it is possible that so many counties that have almost always been right could be wrong sometimes; however, this was no win "by a nose". These counties voted for Trump in such high numbers that the statistically significant level of support bespeaks something wrong with the rest of the voting, particularly in their home states.

There was massive fraud and collusion in this last election and the unwillingness of the media and courts to even examine what happened is what is scary. And what is scarier is the punishment, shunning, "cancelling" of people who have the courage to ask what happened.

The historic accuracy of bellweather counties is the single most gripping factor in looking at the 2020 election and integrity of future ones.

You’re always a bellwether until you’re not. The whole state of Missouri used to be a bellwether.

Election fraud.

Fraud in few select districts in specific states stole it.

Joe Biden had the lowest percentage of Black and Hispanic vote since 1960 and underperformed Obama and even Clinton among minorities - EXCEPT in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee and Las Vegas.

In order to believe it was as simple as that you have to believe Biden was immensely more popular than Trump.

Biden could barely scrape a few dozen people together- Trump had tens of thousands at his rallies.

Occams razor: Dems cheated.

I don’t think this is over yet.

The explanation is simple. The few bellwether counties Biden won used Dominion, Hart or other hackable voting systems. Otherwise, Biden wouldn’t have won any of them in Trump’s landslide victory.

After this phony election, no one should ever be convicted on circumstantial evidence.

I don’t think it was a question of Biden being more popular. I think the unfortunate truth is that in America today the candidate who’s voters are motivated the most by fear and negativity is the one who has the upper hand in the majority of presidential elections. Biden voters had that in spades.

I’ll repeat my basketball analogy:

Suppose your favorite basketball team, wearing red uniforms, has led more or less the whole game and is ahead of the team wearing blue uniforms by a score of 65-50 with 5 minutes left to play. A comeback for the blue team to win may not be impossible, but it’s highly improbable. The games is not yet a blowout, but a fairly comfortable lead for the red team. At this point the the fans, i.e., the observers, are kicked out of the arena and the rest of the game is observed only by “officials”, but there is a live data feed of the score to the outside as it changes.

The data feed shows that the team in blue is scoring at at will in the last few minutes of the game. The game ends on a 25-5 run for the blue team to make the final score 75-70. The blue team’s 25-5 run means it scored 83% of the remaining points scored in the game. But a few instant replay videos leak out that show, without any doubt, that errors were made by the “officials”. Also, the data feed of the score shows that some points by the red team were actually counted on the scoreboard as points for the blue team. It’s 100% known that this happened, but it’s hard to tell exactly how many points were changed like this. The data feed also shows that the score for the red team actually went backwards at times, and also shows fractional points being scored at times.

Then, as the season goes on, the same things happen again and again: the 15 point lead with 5 minutes to play, the fans being kicked out, errors proven by leaked instant replay video, the fantastic events, the points changing from the red team to the blue team, yet the “officials” say the blue team came back and won again, and again, and again. And this happens FOUR GAMES IN A ROW!!!

Most of the press claim to be neutral, but it’s an open secret that they are foam-at-the-mouth blue team fans, say there is “no evidence” of anything wrong and refuse to investigate. They are Fraud Deniers.

#12: "Fraud in few select districts in specific states stole it."

You nailed. There was no need to cheat in every precinct or district. Since 2016 Soros and his data analytics simulated the election on "supercomputers" a million ways from Sunday. They churned the data, over and over, until they could select a handful of precincts that were key and would skew the election. Those were the states and precincts they targeted for a hit.

Notice that in the months before the election there was a hue and cry to loosen voting standards in certain states "because Covid". It turned out that those were the precise states where critical cheating occurred.

The whole putsch is attributable to carefully crafted surgical cheating.
