Behind Biden’s 2020 Victory: An examination of the 2020 electorate, based on validated voters
Pew Research Center ^ | June 30, 2021 | Ruth Igielnik, Scott Keeter and Hannah Hartig

Posted on 07/06/2021 3:10:09 PM PDT by nicollo

The 2020 presidential election was historic in many ways. Amid a global pandemic, with unprecedented changes in how Americans voted, voter turnout rose 7 percentage points over 2016, resulting in a total of 66% of U.S. adult citizens casting a ballot in the 2020 election. Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump 306-232 in the Electoral College and had a 4-point margin in the popular vote. While Biden’s popular vote differential was an improvement over Hillary Clinton’s 2016 2-point advantage, it was not as resounding as congressional Democrats’ 9-point advantage over Republicans in votes cast in the 2018 elections for the U.S. House of Representatives.

A new analysis of validated 2020 voters from Pew Research Center’s American Trends Panel examines change and continuity in the electorate, both of which contributed to Biden’s victory. It looks at how new voters and voters who turned out in one or both previous elections voted in the 2020 presidential election and offers a detailed portrait of the demographic composition and vote choices of the 2020 electorate. It also provides a comparison with findings from our previous studies of the 2016 and 2018 electorates.

They know the Maricopa findings will come out soon.

Yeah that's gotta be the reason.

The real answer is right there in the title. It was the UNVALIDATED voters who made all the difference.

Pew is a hard core leftist organization. Its often sets the story line for others to follow and repeat until the lie becomes true.

“They say this because they want to deflect from the urban core vote fraud. I’m not unconvinced that similar fraud took place in suburban counties...”

I can’t speak to other states but in the suburban Philadelphia counties there was a lot of mail-in support for Biden. How many of those votes were legitimately cast I couldn’t say.

The suburban women that I know sure hate DJT and from what I can tell Biden is a place holder that gave them a simple alternative that much is true. They don’t have too much to share on why they don’t like him but the ladies seem to still be upset about Hillary losing in 16.

They filled barrels of votes from Black neighborhoods, legal vote harvesting and illegal harvesting-that’s the true story, used pandemic to do it

Places like Cumberland county PA (suburbs of Harrisburg) illustrate Trump’s weakness. He won by 22,000 in ‘16 but only 15,000 last year.
In blood-red Ottawa county MI, Trump went from +44,000 to +36,000.
There are scores of such counties across the country and they made a difference in key states.

“So Pew is reinforcing the story line, carried by all the Left, but most importantly by the Wall Street Journal, that it was suburban voters who propelled Biden’s win. “

I have reluctantly come to the unfortunate and dismal conclusion that the election—if it was merely close and not overwhelmingly stolen (AND I BELIEVE IT WAS STOLEN...I’M FROM PENNSYLVANIA!)—became a referendum on COVID response.

“Safety” vs. freedom.

Maskers vs. non-maskers.

Hula hoop circles vs. airport rallies.

The Karens and Gavins “won”.

It’s not irrelevant that people never showed up at Biden/Harris rallies, then or now. It is a contradiction of human nature to say this.

This is funny. You seem to disregard totally the already evident fraud which took place and cite the vote totals as if they were 100% legitimate.

you don’t understand the American electorate of today. The schools, colleges and media have done a lot of damage. You can eliminate voter fraud and we still have a big problem.

Sanders and Warren also had much larger rallies than Biden. It didn’t matter.

“Sanders and Warren also had much larger rallies than Biden. It didn’t matter.”

I don’t think you understand the extent of the fraud. It wasn’t just the Presidential election. It included the Dem Primaries and it happened in 2016 to hand the nomination to Clinton. Crowd size is a good indication of interest and interest turns into votes. The Democrats will cheat and steal even from their own constituency as we saw in 2016 when the Commie Sanders was bought off and although the Dem voters screamed they nonetheless showed up.

In a by the book election the candidate who generates the most excitement wind their primary and the same with the general election.

We have laws in place but seemingly not the will to enforce them and if it continues we will wind up with anarchy.

From Pee-yoo's own data, while "suburban" votes were up for Dims, it was the urban fraud that pushed the state totals, as there was a coincidental increase in "rural" and Latin voters for Trump that offest those gains. So it's still an urban machine problem, not a turn in suburban voters (which, yes, did happen).

I think you may agree with me that the urban vote does not represent "Karens" -- and instead is just a name on a ballot that represents no voter intent, and, likely, multiple times.

Note that GA, AZ and WI had larger impact of Af-Am votes on the outcomes than PA. That tells me that the PA Dem machine was long practicing this fraud, and that the ballot harvesting went outwards from there. If the PA Senate wants to know what happened, it should look for ballot harvesting and other anomalies in the counties surrounding the urban cores of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

I assume the same for Philly and Pitts. Was it worse in the suburban counties or the same as ever?

I don’t know !
Lots of liberals and weak-kneed “soccer moms” in those suburbs. That’s why I don’t completely dismiss the idea that Biden might have carried those counties.

Hi.

Between you and me, I believe Biteme got 80 million votes, but 80 million people didn’t vote for him.
