Yesterday The American Thinker<\/a> posted an article about some numbers from the recent census data that cast doubt on the vote count of the 2020 election.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

According to a website called\u00a0The Election Wizard<\/a>, newly released Census data contains an “anomaly” when it comes to squaring it with the reported electoral results:<\/strong><\/p>\n

US Census data released last week called into question the official vote tally from the 2020 election. As part of the Census, the government collects data on citizens who self-report as having voted in presidential elections. The collected data shows an unusual anomaly in the reported results.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the Census, the recorded number of people voting in 2020 was tallied at\u00a0154,628,000<\/a>. On the other hand, official results place the number of actual ballots cast slightly north of\u00a0158 million<\/a>. That’s a discrepancy of nearly four million votes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

Speaking to\u00a0pollster Richard Baris<\/a>\u00a0during an episode of “Inside the Numbers,” lawyer\u00a0Robert Barnes<\/a>\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0historically, the Census tends to “pin on the nose” the recorded vote numbers with the actual results. In other words, often the two data sets reasonably match.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Barnes is right. For example, the bureau was nearly spot-on in 2008, slightly under-reporting that\u00a0131,100,000 voted<\/a>, while the official results showed\u00a0131,300,000<\/a>\u00a0ballots cast.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, sometimes the Census has missed the mark. But for decades, in almost every case where the Census grossly botched the results, it was because the bureau\u00a0over-recorded<\/em>\u00a0the number of those who voted.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Barnes pointed out the Census data also calls into question a number of contested states too.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For example, in Georgia, the bureau\u00a0recorded\u00a0<\/a>roughly 4.8 million voting, while official results show slightly\u00a0less than 5 million<\/a>. Barnes said the discrepancy is consistent with claims that there were roughly 100k questionable ballots cast in Georgia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please follow the link above to the article–it includes a video of a discussion of these numbers. It does take something of a leap of faith to believe that Joe Biden received more votes in 2020 than Barack Obama received in 2008.<\/p>\n
