Election Numbers Don’t Lie
Look at this:
2012 Election — Obama got 65,915,795 popular votes.
2016 Election — Hillary Clinton got 65,853,514 votes.
2020 Election — Joe. Biden got 81,268,924 votes.
2020 Election — Donald Trump got 74,216,154 votes.
So we see here that Obama and Clinton vote totals were almost identical and we also know that Clinton was less popular than Barrack Obama. So the question becomes, how did the unpopular and nearly inert Joseph Biden get roughly fifteen and a half million more votes than each of the two previous Democratic candidates?
Where did all those millions of votes really come from? Was it actual cheating by poll workers? Or was it because there was some cheating (as the evidence indicates) plus all those additional untraceable “mail in” ballots? (Why are Democrat’s so vigorous in their pursuit of “mail in ballots” which have long been known for their lack of voter identification?).
And worth mentioning: in the 2020 election, Donald Trump got a solid 74,216,154 votes. That’s 8.3 million more votes than either of the two most popular Democrat candidates. So again, how is it that a dull candidate like Joe Biden could have gotten 7,052,000 more votes than the much more voluble and active Donald Trump when Trump out performed both Obama and Clinton?
Three factors come to mind. First of course is that most of the news media basically minimized and criticized Donald Trump’s campaign. I can remember the 1952 Eisenhower / Stephenson campaign. I was still in grade school so for us kids it was just listening to our parents talk about it and having to wait until the campaign speeches were done on the radio or black and white TV so we could have our favorite programs back. But then and in no campaign since have I noticed such partisan bias in the broadcast networks.
There was a time, believe it or not, when TV networks had to provide equal time to the two main presidential candidates. Until that is, politicians forced an end to the Fair Standards and Practices regulation of network behaviors which until then had been starkly partisan. Another instance showing how unprincipled politicians, political parties and their supporters have always been.
Of course there’s no reversing of the 2020 or any past election. So our minds should logically be focused on the next two elections. The 2022 election is “midterm” meaning it’s mostly about numbers in Congress, state elections and other elective positions. But it sure as heck is important to both parties, right? For what it’s worth, I think reducing the numbers of candidates from the worst-behaving party will be my focus. And of course no one wants a repeat of the mail in ballot flood that erased any meaning of the 2020 election results. Who in their right mind trusts ballots signed by the already deceased or by forged signatures?
Requiring voter identification is the same as it is for any important matters: we must use valid birth certificates and cannot arbitrarily adopt a pseudonym when signing legal documents, getting a federal or state license for anything and of course when signing loan agreements. Falsifying one’s identity is a crime, so it would also be a crime to make it easier to commit such a crime. That is what the Democratic Party is doing right now — actively promoting tghhe use if a kind of document which will not be ID verified. So it is that the Democratic Party’s behavior on this is also the worst kind of behavior compared to that of the Republican Party.
