Fact is, Trump got 12 million more votes than he got in 2016, and Biden got 15 million more than did Hillary. So unless we're saying there was massive fraud on Trump's end too, we have to accept the reality that changes in voting rules -- particularly the pushing of absentee ballots -- changed the turnout models.
Didn't help that some Republicans kept making the ridiculous "more votes than registered voters" argument, either. Crap like that drowned out whatever legitimate arguments there were to be made.
“Fact is, Trump got 12 million more votes than he got in 2016, and Biden got 15 million more than did Hillary. So unless we’re saying there was massive fraud on Trump’s end too...”
Wow. You must not been paying attention during the campaign. The demented barely functioning Biden could not draw a crowd of 50 people when he left his basement. He insulted blacks every chance he got and had Klan buddies.
There were boat parades of 50,000 in Tampa harbor for Trump. I personally seen a convoy of cars 20 miles long for Trump on I75 in Florida. Biden’s convoy in Florida was 35 cars. Every Trump rally had over 35,000 people. In spite of the news, Trump was popular, he achieved great things, so of course he was going to get more votes than when he outsider.
But, the silliest thing you might have said is that there must have been voter fraud on Trump’s end. You do realize that over 90% of Trump’s votes were on election day or in person voting where ID was required. Far different from the massive mail-in ballot stuffing/harvesting voter fruad.
You can explain away the big picture (easier to vote), but if you take a magnifying glass and look at the totals and voter dumps the results are statistically impossible for Biden.
