Because D voters are historically bad at showing up. Couple that with a pandemic where theyre being told to stay home, and mail in voting is the only real option to get the numbers they need. Theres nothing wrong with absentee voting - it just affords the "lazier" voter more access, and lazier voters tend to vote more D.
Again, why is the default for so many of you a nefarious, deep rooted, convoluted conspiracy? Trump was not seen favorably for the majority of the population and in the end, the hate for trump outweighed the lackluster dem candidate.
Nope.
Name me one American incumbent President who got a surge of 12 million votes after 4 years of 24/7 news cycle of him being called literally Hitler, and he got down-ballot turnovers across the Nation in that wake. Down-ballot turnovers included unlikely States like CA and NY, with a large gain in the House of many seats. You don’t need a Democrat front site to fact-check the House gains.
Total General turnout

I’d be surprised if Biden actually got more than 57 million actual votes. “Lackluster" doesn’t begin to explain his non-campaign. For a Presidential candidate or incumbent to break 60 million votes over the past 20 years takes a lot of work, aggressive campaigning, and a memorable message for his brand. Nobody can identify a campaign brand or message for Biden. He’s the most empty-branded candidate we’ve seen in our lives.
Another thing that really sticks out when you run the numbers and trends to past elections is turn-out, and registration. When you have counties and precincts with 100%, 150%, and 300% registration, you know you’re dealing with ballot harvesting, inter-state ballot transfers, and machine-rigging.
Now look back at those total General election turnout numbers.
True or false? More voters were added on top of Trump’s 2016 base.
True or false? There were more Democrat defections to Trump than Republican defections to Biden. DNC already saw this trend in late 2019 with black and hispanic voters, especially black male voters, in addition to the walk-away movement. This sent shockwaves within the DNC in late 2019 and lots of war-gaming on how to solve it, not only within the candidates, but within Google’s Sergey Brin and Eric Schmidt, Facebook’s Zuckerberg, the Chinese, and all the media presstitutes who regularly coordinate campaigning and election season messaging with the candidates.
Which demographic is the most influenced by the Trump movement, that helped him defeat Hillary in 2016? People who didn’t typically vote in prior elections. Now the same sources are trying to say that historically-inactive voters jumped for Biden.
The idea that the DNC just sat by and let Dem voters defect to Trump without an alternate plan does not pass the smell test.
If you try to account for it with non-white racial segments, you face the same problem. Then look at down-ballot in the House, Senate, and State legislatures:
Republicans in Congress won every incumbent seat and 28 out of 29 competitive seats identified by the New York Times’ Nate Silver.
Republicans have so far held the U.S. Senate and kept control of all state legislatures in which they were the majority, McCarthy noted. Republicans also gained control of three new state legislatures.
Exit polls showed that more blacks, hispanics, and Asians actually voted for Trump than in 2016, with a 3-4% jump. Ethnic category “other” jumped from 37% in 2016 to 40% in 2020. So where did all these Biden votes come from?
No, it couldn’t be from ballot-harvesting, election rigging, machine algorithms, multi-ballot counting, and months of ballot-manufacturing with crates and suitcases of ballots brought in by the truckload and then counted after-hours on CCTV.
It has to be because people really voted for a gaffe-a-matic geriatric pedophile who didn’t even campaign, with numbers that no political analyst would ever believe.
