It is a little strange that I am getting a little nostalgic for the drama of the 2020 Election. Here is one of my favorite stories.
During the 2020 election in Pennsylvania, "Somebody decided" the election was over. However, it was long before the votes from Pennsylvania's biggest city votes had been reported. They contacted Republican Tim Ryan and reported the following: "The total number of voters who voted on Nov. 3, 2020, as recorded by the Department of State shows that 6,962,607 total ballots were reported as being cast, while DoS/SURE system records indicate that only 6,760,230 total voters actually voted." Thus there were 205,000 more votes than voters. Ryan put that out in a Tweet that was retweeted 117,000 times.
It was pretty obvious that something was amiss here.
What happened is that the "Somebody" who reported the vote as final was......let's just say premature. When the final count was in some hours later, the totals there were nearly 7 million votes cast. The total number of registered voters in 2020 was just over 9 million and Biden won by 80,000 votes. Thus, when Pennsylvania published the certified result of the election, the case was closed. "Somebody" had jumped the gun and made a big mistake by claiming that incomplete vote totals were complete. The date was November 3rd. Keep that date in mind.
So, at this point, we can be generous and just say "Somebody" made an "honest" mistake. No big deal. Pennsylvania's post election audit verified the vote totals. But, of course that would not even be a memorable story. It wasn't until over two months later at about 35 and a half minutes into Trump's January 6th speech, he said
There were over 205,000 more ballots counted in Pennsylvania. Now think of this. You had 205,000 more ballots than you had voters. That means you had 200… Where did they come from? You know where they came from? Somebody’s imagination. Whatever they needed. So in Pennsylvania you had 205,000 more votes than you had voters! And it’s the number is actually much greater than that now. That was as of a week ago. And this is a mathematical impossibility, unless you want to say it’s a total fraud. So Pennsylvania was defrauded.
Trump is good like that. He never lets a good lie go to waste.
