Last week I posted a Daily Chart item cautioning readers not to infer conclusions about the 2020 election based on this chart:
On the surface, it does indeed seem to indicate that something was . . . off . . . about the 2020 election. I cautioned that we should wait until all the votes are counted before latching on to this prima facie evidence, since it disgracefully takes us (well, California mostly) an irresponsibly long time to complete the vote count. (I believe California still have more than 2 million “votes” out.) And here is what an updated bar graph for 2020 and 2024 looks like:
Once the final votes are in—perhaps by Groundhog Day—Trump may well exceed Biden’s 2020 total. This does not mean there was nothing suspicious about the 2020 election. I’m on Team Mollie on this—see her book Rigged—but that first chart was not evidence for it.
