is that Trump's people who were supposed to rig the election in some of the swing states weren't successful because the high number of new blue LEGAL voters far outnumbered all the illegal ballots that Team Trump sneaked into the machines.
I have no proof of this. Like I said in my headline, it's just speculation on my part, but it's mostly because I don't believe for a second that Trump got over 70 million votes, not with the low approval ratings that he has had all along. Nor do I believe that he and his corrupt people didn't do their best to rig the election to go his way. What I do believe is that they didn't rig it far enough to overcome the huge wave of new blue voters that registered and voted this time.

Every damned thing he says is all about projection.

(10,844 posts)He also considers (or at least says) he sees Joe Biden as a weak man. Of course, that belies all the effort to smear Biden, going so far as provoking his own impeachment.
Then there's the label of "Loser." That really burns his ass!

(3,538 posts)But WHY were ALL the polls so wrong? And ALL in favour of the Rethugs? And many here are upset at the pollsters for getting it so wrong. You know, in some countries results are matched against poll results (ok, usually exit polls) to determine if the election was honest.
On that note; anyone know what the exit polls showed? I guess with all the mail in voting thats kind of irrelevant...

(8,073 posts)an audit of paper ballots vs. tabulations by computer scanners, but there is no way that on the first 2 days of early voting, we had massive republican votes. Not just no, but hell no!
One of the republican candidates is part of my extended family, and he told me that the county elections office had just told him this very thing, and it was noon on the second day of early voting.

We overwhelmed the suppression, but it still had an effect, which is why the polls were off by 7 points.

(22,236 posts)it should make one think that he probably built that new wall around the WH to protect him from all those wild liberals that were going to climb over the original fence and knock down his doors after learning that Trump rigged the election in his favor. Unfortunately for him, his rigging didn't go far enough to surpass all the new voters who voted blue.
