did trump really get over 69 million votes?

At the risk of sounding like a sore winner, I just don't think it's possible that 69 million Americans voted for an obviously incompetent buffoon who STILL has no plan for how to get us through the COVID-19 crisis, 10 months in.

The security issues associated with the voting machines used in many swing/toss up states are well documented in numerous lawsuits, so it's not wrong to ask.

Polling is a science. It's not that wrong everywhere, ever. Cheating is, on the other hand, a black art.

I've never questioned trump's ability to attract the tens of millions of Deplorables that live among us.

If you accept the results that show VP Biden has won, you have to accept the vote count Trump received.

It doesn't work both ways.


ETA: The fact is, there are millions of assholes in our country.

6. Not necessarily. I think at least 10 million votes were flipped

from Biden to trump. Unfortunately, many GOP-led states have refused to move to more secure ways of voting so these questions are going to linger.

That's a remarkable observation! How did you calculate that number? Do you have any reliable sources?

Thanks, in advance.

Yep.

That's the bottom half of the bottom half.
