2020 Electoral Malfeasance
Contributed by Jim Lieb
As the 2024 presidential election draws near, there are numerous pronouncements by the national media and by various leftist groups declaring that Trump and his allies continued 2020 assertion is false …..that he did not lose the 2020 election because of inappropriate election activities.
I’ve heard it said that the national media may not be convinced that there was no fraud…. but are convinced that even if there was, Americans cannot be told about it. The media may feel that they have to counter such assertions, or our political process would somehow be endangered….or maybe the Dems might lose in November.
When you see this media message repeated so frequently you have to wonder why this is being hammered at us so much. One old adage says, ‘if you repeat your message often enough, you can get most everyone to believe you’. While there are a whole lot of people who believe the media’s message, there’s also a whole lot who do not.
The media’s message shortly after the 2020 election was that in the five battleground states that decided the 2020 outcome, recounts were conducted and thorough reviews of the results showed that Biden indeed receive the most votes. Thus….they claim that is proof that Biden won the election fairly. What if Biden did indeed get the most votes…. BUT…. he got them as the result of inappropriate election activities.
The following summarizes and compares what happened in 2016 and in 2020. In 2016 Trump won 30 states, including all 5 battleground states [Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin], which added up to 304 electoral votes [56.5% of the total electoral votes]. In 2020 Biden won 27 states [including the 5 battleground states], providing him with 306 electoral votes [56.9% of the total electoral votes]. Within the 5 battleground states, in 2016 Trump won 51% of the votes. In 2020 Bidon won 50.6%.
There is evidence that there were inappropriate activities undertaken to get Biden the votes he needed to win in 2020. A number of professionals who study the election patterns have concluded that there was substantial unlawful activity in the 5 battleground states prior to election day. They have found that a number of groups put together a program to gather enough Biden votes so he would win these 5 states. With the arrival of the Covid pandemic, and the ‘hunker down’ push, conditions became perfect for their scheme. Registration forms and voting ballets were mailed to practically everyone. Ballet deposit cans were placed everywhere. Covid made it so much easier for an estimated 100,000+ Biden “campaigners” to gather votes in the 5 states.
Numerous voters in these 5 states have described how they were approached, handed a registration form if not registered to vote, and were told how important it was to register. When many responded, ‘I don’t vote’, they were told… ‘not anymore’. They had to register and had to vote …. for Biden. They were told how everyone in their neighborhood was voting for Biden and they were expected to follow suite or incur the wrath of their neighbors. It was also pointed out that if they did not cooperate, they might need to move out of the area. As soon as ballets arrived, “campaigners” would return and tell all registrants to sit down and vote and “hand your signed ballet to me, and I will assist you and take it to a ballet deposit can”.
Testimonial evidence can be an effective way to establish that there has been a crime and is admissible in a court of law. Many of the battle ground state voters who revealed what had transpired were asked if they were willing to testify as to what had happened. Very few were willing to testify. “Neighbors would probably find out and it would be bad for me” was one of the typical responses.
Some of the involved “campaigners” who were identified, were also contacted and told that their actions were illegal, and they could be arrested and charged. The typical response was that they had done nothing illegal and were just doing normal door to door campaigning. What the experts have concluded is that without the testimony of approx. 10,000 battleground state voters, what happened cannot be legally proven. So where does this leave things. If you are anti-Trump, does that mean that you will ignore the above evidence and continue to believe that the 2020 election was completely fair. Or as a number of anti-Trumpers have declared, “who cares if it was illegal, as long as it stopped Trump, it’s great”.
No matter where you stand politically, is it possible for you recognize at this point in time that there is substantial evidence of 2020 election malfeasance? Obviously, this is 2024 and the clock cannot be turned back. But such recognition could begin to bring left and right Americans closer, get them to agree to disagree in a more affable manner.
And lastly the really important question: what will this mean for 2024 and afterwards….will we ever be able have our elections operate in a completely fair and honest manner.
