Why Does Biden Have So Many More Votes Than Democrat Senators In Swing States?
2020-11-06
[ZERO] In most elections, the majority of votes are cast "down the ticket" - meaning, a voter supports both party's presidential nominee and state Congressional candidates. In fact, according to Pew Research, "overwhelming shares of voters who are supporting Trump and Biden say they are also supporting the same-party candidate for Senate."

Typically, this means that that the number of votes for a presidential candidate and that party's Senate candidates are relatively close.

Twitter user "US Rebel" (@USRebellion1776), however, found that the number of votes cast for Joe Biden far exceeds those cast for that state's Senate candidates in swing states, while those cast for Trump and GOP Senators remains far closer.

In Michigan, for example, there was a difference of just 7,131 votes between Trump and GOP candidate John James, yet the difference between Joe Biden and Democratic candidate Gary Peters was a staggering 69,093.

In Georgia, there was an 818 vote difference between Trump and the GOP Senator, vs. a 95,000 difference between Biden and the Democratic candidate for Senator.

Yet, in two non-swing states, there was "no massive flood of mysterious empty Biden votes," leading US Rebel to suggest "It's fraud."

In Wyoming, the difference on the Democratic side is is just 725 votes, while in Montana the difference is 27,457.

What's going on here? If it were "never-Trumpers" pairing Biden with their GOP Congressional picks? If so, we would expect fewer votes for Trump than GOP Senators. We're open to suggestions.

#15  Hang on... the path of least resistance is straight party voting, correct? If so then one would expect Sleepy Joe's vote tally to rise in direct proportion to Gary Peters' et al.'s vote tallies.

So why then is Sleepy Joe getting 70,000 more votes than his down-ballot fellow Democrats?

This is a contrived result. Bogus. Busted.

#14  A straight party paper vote in my district required some 12 fill-ins.

If indeed it was a trump wholloping outside the margin of cheating, and they had to fill blanks quickly, then just filling one circle instead of the whole ballet increases output.

#13  Curious. Michigan uses paper ballots. If you were injecting votes at the ballot level, it would be just as easy to mark the straight party ticket option as to mark for Sleepy Joe specifically. That way, you get all the down-ballot races like state Senator.

But if you were writing a digital file to be loaded directly into the vote counter, it might be simpler to just make "Joes". Pure speculation here since I have no idea about the structure of the files on all those flash drives that keep mysteriously appearing after being "overlooked".

#9  Hear anything from the dems lately? What about the CBC, Intel Community, Labor, DoJ, or FBI? No, of course not. They knew the fix was in.

#8  In Michigan, for example, there was a difference of just 7,131 votes between Trump and GOP candidate John James, yet the difference between Joe Biden and Democratic candidate Gary Peters was a staggering 69,093.

This is potentially the smoking gun: Where are these empty Biden ballots concentrated? How many of these were in Wayne County MI, home to Detroit, which is heavily African-American and which is the hometown of John James the GOP Senate candidate who pulled an equal number of votes as Trump?

A split ticket result is certainly possible when you have, with James, a hugely popular and charismatic young African-American from Detroit on the ticket.

But split-ticket voting would have resulted in a huge and more or less equal or offsetting number of votes up and down the ballot. Trump's loss (to Biden) would imply a more or less equal gain for John James, his down-ticket fellow Republican. So in a split-ticket world, Trump's loss would imply a victory for John James.

But there is no plausible scenario where the split ticket breaks only one way and only for Joe Biden, an old white man with zero connection to Detroit or Michigan. For John James, in Wayne County, a huge bump is entirely plausible. But not for Biden.

This is 99% likely a fraudulent result.

#7  So all the 'extra' votes for Biden voted for the Pub senators? Or are the 'excess' votes just Biden votes. Or maybe there's more votes than ballots?

Math b hard.

#4  Supreme Court should rule that most election results stands except the Presidential election results which should be a redo in 6 months along with sufficient criminal fraud prosecutions where needed.

#3  Because local Republicans - who have local influence - only agreed to $crewing Trump?

#2  I'm thinking what is the population of a state according to the census bureau, vs. the actual ballot count. Seems in some cases (Most? All?) there's more ballots than population.
