NBC is reporting — with a supposed sense of shock — the results of a Monmouth poll that nearly one-third of Americans think the 2020 presidential election was rigged.

‘); googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1609268089992-0’); }); document.write(”); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.pubads().addEventListener(‘slotRenderEnded’, function(event) { if (event.slot.getSlotElementId() == “div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3028”) { googletag.display(“div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3028”); } }); }); }

And they further reiterate that there is no evidence for fraud.

There’s no evidence widespread fraud affected the outcome of the 2020 election, but Trump and allies have spent years undercutting the election’s legitimacy.

Wow!  It must be so.  The main stream media assure us that the election was honest.  Yet one third of Americans still believe the election was a fraud.

‘); googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1609270365559-0’); }); document.write(”); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.pubads().addEventListener(‘slotRenderEnded’, function(event) { if (event.slot.getSlotElementId() == “div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3035”) { googletag.display(“div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3035”); } }); }); }

I am shocked, shocked.

Anyone who questions the election result is called a fascist or subjected to a lawsuit or prosecution.  So for the moment, we will not question the integrity of write-in ballots, nor the security of voting machines — to avoid pernicious litigation.

Let us just look at the official results…from the official federal government figures.

In 2016, Donald Trump got 62,984,828 votes, while in 2020, he got 74,223,975 votes — an increase of  11,239,147.

In 2016, the Democrats got 65,853,514 votes, while in 2020, the Democrats got 81,283,501 votes — an increase of 15,429, 987.

Wikipedia’s figures are taken from the Federal Elections Commission reports (2016, page 10 and 2020, page 10).
