After what has gone on the past year anything is possible

Trump won 84% of America and Biden won 16%.

20,000 armed soldiers is not enough protection against the 84% of America.

Your math might be a little bit off there...

  • Biden claimed millions more votes than was possible if only some 140 million people voted in the 2020 presidential election, though they did not refute Trump’s widely published total of 74 million votes from the same sources as Biden’s 81 million tally.

In sum, basic arithmetic to calculate voter turnout would not show “extra” ballots for Biden or millions more votes than eligible voters if the posts would have correctly framed the number of “registered voters” as the percentage of people who voted within the sum of eligible voters. Below you can see the differences between calculations by Binney, as well as the viral meme (first image in this report), and the correct formula for determining voter turnout:

Binney’s allegation: 212 million divided by 66.2% to supposedly determine 140 million people submitted ballots. Of that total, 74 million people voted for Trump, leaving only about 66 million votes possible for Biden. But elections officials and the news media reported Biden received more than 81 million votes. The viral meme’s allegation: 133 million people were eligible to vote and an unknown fraction within that total submitted ballots. Of that proportion less than 133 million, 74 million people voted for Trump, leaving up to 59 million votes possible for Biden. That was 22 million less than Biden’s actual tally. The actual numbers: 239 million people were eligible to vote in the 2020 election and roughly 66.1% of them submitted ballots for Biden or Trump, totaling about 158 million votes. Of that sum, Trump received roughly 74 million votes and third-party candidates (including Jo Jorgensen and Howie Hawkins) garnered almost 3 million votes. Meanwhile, the remaining votes in the presidential election — totaling about 81 million — were for Biden.

The Popular Vote https://www.cfr.org/blog/2020-election-numbers

Biden won 81,283,098 votes, or 51.3 percent of the votes cast. He is the first U.S. presidential candidate to have won more than 80 million votes. Trump won 74,222,958 votes, or 46.8 percent of the votes cast. That’s more votes than any other presidential candidate has ever won, with the exception of Biden. (Third-party candidates picked up 1.8 percent of the votes cast.) *

All without ever campaigning too. Amazing.

And somehow the mail in votes. Which are the First votes cast. Were the last votes counted. But only in 6 swing states. All were such votes for biden. But not one cast for democratic senate seats. And only when scrutineers and cameras were evicted from polling stations.

Amazing.
