Pollster Compiles “Troubling Questions” About The Election While Mainstream Media Maintains Fraud Is A Moot Point

A pollster with a noteworthy track record and director of the Democracy Institute in D.C., Patrick Basham, seems to have taken issue with the general dismissal by the mainstream media of the inconsistencies and irregularities that were rampant in this election. And people are appreciating his streamlined compilation of those oddities.

Every Republican state legislator should read Patrick Basham’s analysis https://t.co/3mUFZtD1Y8 and demand an oversight committee to review their state’s vote. Basham makes clear the election was almost certainly stolen in 5 states. Every Americanm should be worried by the theft.

READ THIS: “I am a pollster and I find this election to be deeply puzzling.”

1. “President Trump received more votes than any previous incumbent seeking reelection. He got 11 million more votes than in 2016, the third largest rise in support ever for an incumbent.” [Thread 1/13]

This article is the best summary I’ve seen about the fraudelent 2020 election. In this thread, I’ll summarize the article. Please read and share. https://t.co/fo5Z3c7NRP

Initially, the mainstream media said there was “no evidence of voter fraud.” None at all.

Nope. No proof of voter fraud to date, and certainly no proof of “state election fraud.”

Note: there are often a handful of people charged post-election for voter fraud; it happens. The point is that it is very uncommon, a microscopic fraction of votes cast. pic.twitter.com/IblUmNofrf

Then they were presented with clear evidence of voter fraud, like dead people voting.

They realized they could no longer say there was NO evidence of voter fraud, so they switched their narrative to “no evidence of WIDESPREAD voter fraud,” silently conceding that there was some voter fraud, it just wasn’t widespread.

Now, after hearings across the country, most notably an entire day in an Arizona court that was full of firsthand testimony of widespread voter fraud, the media powers-that-be realized they also can’t really say “no evidence of widespread voter fraud.”

So their new narrative is that while there may have been fraud, and it may have even been widespread, there is no evidence that the widespread voter fraud “changed the result” of the election.

CNN began by saying there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud, but now they say there’s no evidence it changed the election’s outcome! pic.twitter.com/2ZArUwJGMQ

Oh, I see. So since Joe Biden still appears to be the presumptive President-elect, which is what you wanted, then widespread voter fraud isn’t really a big deal and we don’t need to look into it.

Well, I disagree. I believe that even if the lawsuits, inquiries, and audits don’t yield the result I hope for (a second Trump term), they should still be thoroughly investigated to prevent the same issues from happening in future elections. If they don’t get investigated this time, perpetrators will be emboldened next time, and then the time after that, and eventually it WILL affect the outcome of the election, if it hasn’t already.

So what are some of the strange things that warrant a second look? Scholar, author, and pollster Patrick Basham compiled a number of oddities from this election. While none of these individually seem to be sufficient to overturn any election results, they should certainly raise some eyebrows. Here are some interesting bullet points from his article:

• “President Trump received more votes than any previous incumbent seeking reelection. He got 11 million more votes than in 2016, the third largest rise in support ever for an incumbent. By way of comparison, President Obama was comfortably reelected in 2012 with 3.5 million fewer votes than he received in 2008.”
• According to exit polls, “ninety-five percent of Republicans voted for him.”
• “Trump grew his support among black voters by 50 percent over 2016. Nationally, Joe Biden’s black support fell well below 90 percent, the level below which Democratic presidential candidates usually lose.”
• Trump did very well with the Hispanic vote, increasing to 35%.  “With 60 percent or less of the national Hispanic vote, it is arithmetically impossible for a Democratic presidential candidate to win Florida, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico.”
• A “bellwether” is an indicator of trends. Based on past voting trends, bellwether states indicate a likely outcome. “Bellwether states swung further in Trump’s direction than in 2016. Florida, Ohio and Iowa each defied America’s media polls with huge wins for Trump. Since 1852, only Richard Nixon has lost the Electoral College after winning this trio.”
• Bellwether counties were also an anomaly. The Wall Street Journal explained the voting pattern of these bellwether counties: “From 1980 through 2016, 19 of the nation’s more than 3,000 counties voted for the eventual president in every election. Only one of them, Washington state’s Clallam County, backed President-elect Joe Biden last week.” Biden won only one bellwether county by only 3 points while Trump won the other 18 by an average of more than 16 points. Hmm.

“Amazingly, Biden managed to secure victory while also losing in almost every bellwether county across the country. No presidential candidate has been capable of such electoral jujitsu until now.” https://t.co/xRDDSD8z81

• “Midwestern states Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin always swing in the same direction as Ohio and Iowa, their regional peers. Ohio likewise swings with Florida. Current tallies show that, outside of a few cities, the Rust Belt swung in Trump’s direction. Yet, Biden leads in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin because of an apparent avalanche of black votes in Detroit, Philadelphia, and Milwaukee.”
• The margin by which Biden is winning in midwestern states “was derived almost entirely from [black] voters” in big cities like Detroit, Philadelphia, and Milwaukee. “Coincidentally his black vote spiked only in exactly the locations necessary to secure victory. He did not receive comparable levels of support among comparable demographic groups in comparable states, which is highly unusual for the presidential victor.”

So Trump got better numbers among blacks all across the country except in Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Milwaukee & Detroit where Biden’s black support beat him 99 to 1 and beat Obama’s 08′ turnout, but that’s totally normal…

• Biden apparently won more national votes than any presidential candidate in history with about 80 million votes. He shattered Obama’s record of 73,890,000. Which is interesting considering that he only won 17% of counties in the country. Biden “only won 524 counties, as opposed to the 873 counties Obama won in 2008.”
• Another anomaly is the crushing losses down ballot for Democrats. Usually, victorious presidential challengers (as opposed to incumbents) see sweeping victories down ballot at the state and local level. But in this case, “Republicans held the Senate and enjoyed a ‘red wave’ in the House, where they gained a large number of seats while winning all 27 toss-up contests. Trump’s party did not lose a single state legislature and actually made gains at the state level.” The American people clearly rejected the message of the Democratic Party despite apparently embracing it overwhelmingly at the Presidential level.
• Another interesting aspect of this election was the comparison between official polls and non-polling metrics. Such metrics include trends in party registration; candidates’ primary votes respectively; candidate enthusiasm; social media presence and influence; broadcast and digital media ratings; online searches; number and size of donors; and betting trends. While the pollsters have made fools of themselves recently, their record is about 80% correct in recent decades. Non-polling metrics, however, are spectacularly accurate, and overwhelmingly indicated a Trump victory. “For Trump to lose this election, the mainstream polls needed to be correct, which they were not. Furthermore, for Trump to lose, not only did one or more of these metrics have to be wrong for the first time ever, but every single one had to be wrong, and at the very same time; not an impossible outcome, but extremely unlikely nonetheless.”
• On the night of the election, many states simply stopped counting. They just shut it down and told people to come back the next day. Except then they kept counting in the middle of the night and the next morning, Biden had miraculously overcome massive and statistically improbably deficits. “In Georgia, Biden overtook Trump with 89 percent of the votes counted. For the next 53 batches of votes counted, Biden led Trump by the same exact 50.05 to 49.95 percent margin in every single batch. It is particularly perplexing that all statistical anomalies and tabulation abnormalities were in Biden’s favor. Whether the cause was simple human error or nefarious activity, or a combination, clearly something peculiar happened.”

So how much widespread fraud is it going to take for the media to admit there’s widespread fraud?🤔 pic.twitter.com/4H0nX6nZ8F

• Historically, a certain percentage of absentee ballots are rejected each election due to ineligible voters, errors and improper markings on the ballot, signature differences, misplaced addresses, and other mistakes. Newsmax covered this particular irregularity by comparing ballot rejection percentages from the 2016 election and this election. “Despite massive warnings about mail-in ballot rejection rates being around 1% historically, 3% for first-time absentee ballot voters and as high as 6.5% in some states, the rejection rates in 2020 contested states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Nevada were “strikingly” low, according to U.S. data (2016 from a congressional report and 2020 from the U.S. Elections Project run by the University of Florida).

-Georgia: 6.5% rejections in 2016 to a mere 0.2%, more than 30 times lower.

-Pennsylvania: 1% in 2016 to 0.03% this year.

-Nevada: 1.6% in 2016 to around 0.75% this year.

-Michigan: 0.5% in 2016 to 0.1% this year.

-North Carolina: 2.7% in 2016 to 0.8% this year.”

The Federalist also broke down some of these oddities. One in particular is the fact that Biden trailed Hillary Clinton, who ultimately lost her election. Richard Baris of Big Data Poll said, “Biden underperformed Hillary Clinton in every major metro area around the country, save for Milwaukee, Detroit, Atlanta and Philadelphia.” Historically, urban areas lean heavily democrat. Interesting that he would underperform Hillary Clinton in metro and urban areas across the country except for the few that, as election analyst Robert Barnes noted, are “big cities in swing states run by Democrats” where “the vote even exceeded the number of registered voters.” Full disclosure, the National Review disputes this claim regarding these four major cities.

Additionally, it is interesting to look at the primary vote results. According to political analyst David Chapman, there are three facts to consider here:

• “First, no incumbent who has received 75 percent of the total primary vote has lost re-election.”

In fact, no incumbent who has received at least 75% of the primary vote has lost re-election. Donald Trump received 94% of the primary vote, which is the 4th highest all-time. Higher than Eisenhower, Nixon, Clinton, and Obama.

— David Chapman (@davidchapman141) October 11, 2020

• Second, President Trump received 94 percent of the primary vote, which is the fourth highest of all time (higher than Dwight Eisenhower, Nixon, Clinton, or Obama). In fact, Trump is only one of five incumbents since 1912 to receive more than 90 percent of the primary vote.

Trump is only 1 of 5 incumbents since 1912 to receive 90% or more of the primary vote.

We’ve never seen primary participation levels for an incumbent like we did in the 2020 GOP primary. Trump set a record for most votes received by an incumbent with 18.1M.

— David Chapman (@davidchapman141) October 11, 2020

• Third, Trump set a record for most primary votes received by an incumbent when more than 18 million people turned out for him in 2020 (the previous record, held by Bill Clinton, was half that number). For Biden to prevail in the general election, despite Trump’s historic support in the primaries, turns a century’s worth of prior election data on its head.

The previous record was held by Bill Clinton with 9.7M primary votes.

We have also had riots. Incumbents are 6-6 when facing re-election during civil unrest, but 4-0 when facing a pandemic and civil unrest.

This is by no means a comprehensive compilation of irregularities and oddities, as I couldn’t even touch on chain of custody issues, official poll watchers not being granted meaningful access, USB drives being found days and weeks later, glitches that somehow benefit exclusively Biden, and a myriad other interesting situations that contribute to a general distrust of the election result.

PENNSYLVANIA.🚨

“So they denied they did, but as of today, 47 USB Cards are *MISSING* and they are NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.”

“They didn’t update the vote live-time… I demanded they upload the result so I can see what the result was. And it was 50,000 VOTES.” Wow.🔻 pic.twitter.com/ywctCPlpb5

For four years the Left has claimed that President Trump is an illegitimate President and investigated claims of fraud and election rigging, turning up no evidence. It’s amazing how quickly that same Left wants to disregard countless voter and election inconsistencies now that the result seems to have gone their way. Free and equal elections are foundational to the liberties we enjoy here in the United States of America and must be preserved.
