AMANDA HEAD: More Discrepancies Found in Vote Tabulation Data Nov 30, 2020 AAN Staff
- President Trump received more votes than any previous incumbent seeking re-election. He amassed 11 million more votes than in 2016. By comparison, President Obama comfortably won re-election in 2012 with 3.5 million fewer votes than in 2008.
- President Trump got the highest share of the minority vote for any Republican since the 1960 presidential election. The author emphasized, “[Trump] grew his support among black voters by 50% over 2016 and nationally Joe Biden’s black support fell well below 90%, the level below which Democrat presidential candidates usually lose.”
- Trump also increased his share of the Hispanic vote to 35%. Experts consider it well-nigh impossible for Democrat presidential candidates to win Florida, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico with less than 60% of the national Hispanic vote. Yet Biden only lost Florida, according to media projections.
- Bellwether states swung further towards President Trump than in 2016, from Florida to Iowa. Simultaneously, the must-win states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania typically follow their Republican-leaning Midwest peers, Ohio and Iowa. While Biden is the projected winner in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, he owes his supposed victory from voters in cities like Milwaukee and Detriot. His wins in these three states have become embroiled in controversy as they defy Biden’s relatively poor performance with African Americans nationwide. Biden’s share of the black vote only conveniently spiked in these localities, ensuring a narrow lead in the vote count where it mattered most.
