Quote10 Alleged Election "Facts" That Don't Pass The Smell Test

Authored by Andrea Widburg via AmericanThinker.com,

Americans have common sense, so they can understand when they're being played (for example, when politicians place Americans under house arrest and then ignore their own rules to party and travel). And they know that there is no way on God's green earth that decrepit, demented, corrupt, and terminally stupid Joe Biden fairly won this election. This post assembles various election anomalies that don't pass the smell test.

J.B. Shurk, who frequently publishes at American Thinker, wrote a knock-out article for The Federalist about Joe Biden's magical performance in the election. You should read the whole article, but here are four things that don't pass the smell test:

1. Biden allegedly got 80 million votes, which is more than Obama received at his peak, in 2008 – and Biden did this despite losing minority voters to Donald Trump and trailing Trump in voter enthusiasm.

2. Biden broke 60 years of precedent by winning nationally despite losing prodigiously in bellwether states and counties. The last time this happened was when the mafia got out the vote for John F. Kennedy in 1960.

3. Trump had extraordinary coattails, so much so that even the New York Times admitted that the "Democrats Suffered Crushing Down-Ballot Losses Across America." Think about that: Biden had no coattails and no enthusiasm, yet he allegedly won a record number of votes. Smells fetid to me.

4. Biden barely made it through the primaries, while Trump soared, with Trump's performance being a historically sure sign of voter enthusiasm and probable victory – yet Biden, again, allegedly scored an equally historically strong victory.

At The Spectator, Patrick Basham, a professional pollster, also felt that Biden's alleged win cannot pass the smell test. Again, this is a summary, so you should read the original article:

5. Trump exceeded his original vote count by the largest margin for any incumbent in American history. He got 10 million more votes than before; by contrast, Obama, in 2012, got 3.5 million fewer votes than in 2008.

6. Trump's support among blacks grew by 50%, while Biden's fell below the important 90%-mark that Democrat candidates need to secure victory.

7. In the Rust Belt, Biden lost black support everywhere except in Detroit, Philadelphia, and Milwaukee. In those cities, every single black person apparently voted for Biden.

8. While pollsters can and do manipulate polling outcomes, non-polling metrics (historical norms such as the economy, enthusiasm, etc.) have never been wrong – only we're being told that this year was the exception.

Then there are the indicia of fraud that Dr. Navid Kershavarz-Nia detailed:

9. The fact that Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia simultaneously pretended to halt ballot counting while continuing to count is evidence of election fraud collusion.

10. Optical scanners were set to accept unverified, un-validated ballots.

11. The scanners were almost certainly programmed to fail to keep audit records.

12. In the contested states, the voting machines were alleged to have processed hundreds of thousands of ballots within a short time, which is a physical impossibility.

And here are a few more indications of fraud:

13. In Pennsylvania, statistically impossible numbers of late-arriving mail-in votes went to Biden.

14. Dominion and ES&S voting machines were created to have back doors and specific functions to manipulate votes either at the machine or over the internet.

15. Fox News's behavior on election night (refusing to call pro-Trump outcomes while prematurely calling Arizona for Biden) was so abnormal that Vegas oddsmakers instantly assumed that the fix was in.

16. The allegedly late-arriving mailed-in ballots increased Biden's equally alleged lead with statistically impossible perfection and stability.

17. There were anomalies in Virginia that suggested that computers were subtracting votes from Trump and, sometimes, giving them to Biden.

18. One analysis shows that voting machines in Michigan systematically removed votes from Trump and handed them to Biden. I saw a rebuttal (which I cannot locate now) that purported to debunk this but did so by using a different scale on the X-axis, which I found inherently suspicious.

19. Over 100,000 Pennsylvania absentee ballots were returned either a day after they were mailed out, on the day they were mailed out, or on the day before they were mailed out.

20. In all the contested areas, and at Dominion's website, Democrats have been systematically failing to create or have destroyed all data that could be used to demonstrate fraud. This creates the legal presumption that the data do, in fact, show fraud.

On behalf of all Trump voters, I say to the Democrats who are trying to gaslight us: Don't spit in my face and tell me it's raining.

The Minsky Moment

Here is some more anomalies that don't pass the smell test:

1) Trump won a record number of votes for a GOP candidate despite the flight of the suburbs to the Democrats.

2) Trump got 12 million more votes in 2020 than 2016 even though his popularity declined and he lost big voter demos.

3) The polls showed a Biden blow out.  Somehow the polls are wrong only in the years when Trump runs and always in a way that massively benefits Trump.

4) The voting results showed that some black people who are neither insane nor billionaires voted for Trump, which is implausible.

5) Trump ran better in the city of Philadelphia in 2020 than in 2016 even though Biden is a native son to the region.

6) Trump got votes from obviously fake people like "Tyler Durden" and "Sean Hannity"

And so on.

Gee, I wonder if there might be a very simple and straight-forward explanation for that outcome...

Hell, I split the ticket this time.  I voted for the Republican for governor and lt. governor.  They had spearheaded removable of the previous governor who turned out to be a sociopath.  I felt that removing sociopaths from the GOP is the sort of behavior that should be rewarded.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny.

I mean everybody knows there are never-Trump Republicans. If there weren't we wouldn't have a term for them.

Yes, but some of these people who didn't like Trump were still electing Republicans in other offices.  It's a comforting to think that many Republicans hold to conservative ideas but can separate that from Trump who they despise.  Maybe there is hope.

I thought that was disproved
You should let the people behind that story know, so that they could issue a retraction.
