The Weirdest Thing about Claims of Electoral Fraud
The Weirdest Thing about Claims of Electoral Fraud
Imagine that, on the eve of a national election, a candidate is far ahead in all the polls and seems to be cruising to victory. Then the results come in, and the unthinkable has happened: the candidate has lost handily. Your first instinct would be to take a look at how the election was carried out and the votes tabulated to see if everything was kosher.
But that’s not what happened in November 2020. In case you forgot, here’s 538’s final forecast from November 3. The actual results were a big setback for the Democrats on all fronts, House, Senate and President.
That’s what’s so bizarre about the claims of Trump, Hawley, Cruz et al. They did way better than the polls said they would. It’s as if the Democratic bust of 11-3-20 disappeared down a memory hole.
Peter:
Imagine that on the eve of a national election and the favored Presidential candidate is way ahead of the worst Presidential candidate ever. The supposed leader of the election loses to the worst that can be elected and still has more of the popular vote.
These polls suck and they need to start to factor in some reality. Twice now, things have not gone the way it was planned or thought.
I don’t think it is possible to get the polls fixed. Quite frankly I believe that many racist Rep voters realize they are voting for racists but don’t want to tell people they are voting for racists.
