Far too little vote fraud to tip election to Trump, AP finds

Source: Associated Press

ATLANTA (AP) — An Associated Press review of every potential case of voter fraud in the six battleground states disputed by former President Donald Trump has found fewer than 475 — a number that would have made no difference in the 2020 presidential election.

Democrat Joe Biden won Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and their 79 Electoral College votes by a combined 311,257 votes out of 25.5 million ballots cast for president. The disputed ballots represent just 0.15% of his victory margin in those states.

The cases could not throw the outcome into question even if all those votes were for Biden, which they were not, and even if those ballots were actually counted, which in most cases they were not.

The review also showed no collusion intended to rig the voting. Virtually every case was based on an individual acting alone to cast additional ballots.

We went thru this months ago -- the lawsuits, the recounts, the wailing and gnashing of teeth. Really, AP? Nothing else in the world grabs your attention?

And are making a definitive public assessment?



Should've been done a long time ago though, I'll grant you that.

then they'll reject news from any reasonable source. But it's always worth a try.

Also don't think Faux, Newsmax, or the Gateway Pundit will soon publish a major study illustrating that there was no meaningful voter fraud in 2020, and that Trump lost fair and square.

So I'll take what I can get, as the saying goes.

Not gonna look. It would just be 99 posts saying "Fake News" or some version of that garbage.

Anyways, one would think this would be major news.

Any coverage of this important study in our intrepid 'liberal media' today?

81M votes vs. 74M and we only won by 311,257. Something is seriously wrong with our system.

I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of fraud votes were for Trump.

The press continues to misinform people to focus on individual Voter Fraud and they ignore Election Fraud, which the Rethugs perpetuate EVERY election, always have , always will.

Just sayin'
