Yes, 94% or approximately, of registered voters. But 67% of VAP (voter aged population) voters, two very different numbers, but both very telling of the 2020 election. In previous elections voter turnout VAP numbers are: 1996-49%, 2000-50.5%, 2004-55.5%, 2008-57%, 2012-53.5%, 2016-54.5%. The largest turnout modern history was 1960 at 62.5%. So 2020 numbers are extremely high, extremely unlikely, especially almost 95% of registered voters cast ballots. I call bullshit on that.

^^^ Of course, they claim it's because mail-in ballots result in higher turnout because they make voting easier. And more people voting with fewer impediments is better for "democracy". 8 "states" have universal mail-in ballots. California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and the District of Columbia. They are all hard-blue except Utah which is hard-red. The electoral votes in these states are assumed to be in the bag for their side and will not change the overall election outcome. Nebraska and North Dakota allow counties to opt-in to mail-in ballots - both states are hard-red Including the mail-in states, there are a total of 35 (Puerto Rico and USVI allow it too but don't have electoral college votes. 16 states require a valid reason. All of the "swing states" allow no-reason absentee voting, but a request does have to be made. I looked up Michigan and they require a request, but allow a box to be checked to be added to the "permanent" absentee list, so I'm going to be a lot of these activists groups will help people do this. I do think without COVID as an excuse to change voting, it will be harder for the democrats to harvest ballots. But that's no guaranty there won't be shenanigans. | |||

Did he call you up and let you know? Just curious how you know, I'm not fan of his but I'm inclined to actually appreciate the risk he took saying that given the backlash the lefties will give him. | |||

^^^ I do appreciate that he spoke out, and I have no clues how he is going to vote, but pretty sure he, being mega rich, doesn't give two fucks what anyone else, left or right, say or think about him. Q | |||

I don’t think the increase was people voting for Biden more so than Orange Man Bad. The stat itself is relatively meaningless in terms of proving vote fraud because it’s just the popular vote which has no bearing on the election. In other words, there’s no reason to manipulate it. If you really want, you could look at percentage change in voter turnout for each state. If every state had the same percentage change, then it would be hard to argue it was due to ballot stuffing in big solid blue states like California and New York when there was no point for the presidential election in those states and it wouldn’t be worth the risk for zero gain. I’d actually expect a big bump in turnout in swing states because people get the feeling that their vote means something. Look at Florida in 2016 where turnout was 74.5% and Trump beat Clinton by only 115,000 votes out of 9.1 million total. In 2020, turnout was 77.2%, Biden actual won two more counties than Clinton in 2016, Trump received 1,050,000 more votes than he did in 2016, and Biden got only 800,000 more votes than Clinton did so Biden lost by 300,000 votes in Florida. I know I was more motivated in 2020 because we almost lost it in 2016, but I guess the only explanation for the increase in voter turnout in Florida is that the Republicans stuffed ballots better than the Democrats? <-Sarcasm. I’m not saying that I don’t believe vote fraud didn’t happen, just that the change in turnout in the popular vote isn’t an indicator that it did. That number is driven by the most populous states and those states had no reason to commit vote fraud. | |||

President Trump Speaks to Maria Bartiromo On Sunday Morning Futures, President Trump sat down for an economic discussion with Maria Bartiromo. President Trump focuses correctly on inflation and the root cause, The Green New Deal. Joe Biden’s energy policy was the biggest trigger on consumer price increases. The energy policy fueled inflation caused by monetary policy. President Trump correctly notes the first step in dealing with the inflation dynamic is to lower the energy prices. WATCH: https://theconservativetreehou...rtiromo/#more-262996 "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Peace through superior firepower |
Forget the border and anything else. The critical factor in the upcoming election is the economy, by far, because it affects all but the most wealthy people. I'm not talking about losing money on paper. I'm talking about the day to day stuff. Having a job, affording groceries and rent or a mortgage and fuel and medical costs and all of it which is sucking the life out of people. It's a death sentence for the Democrats, what's going on and has been going on for the entire time Biden has been in office. | |||
