You do realize if 6,000 voter in Arizona and Georgia had voted for Trump and not Biden, 12,000 in Wisconsin had voted for Trump and not Biden the electoral vote would of been a tie. A difference of only 24,000 votes. Trump would of had a second term.
Biden would have won the popular vote by a margin of 871,259,501 vs Trump 74,247,975
That is how close the 2024 election was. He didn't need Georgia to find 12,000 votes , he needed 24,000 votes in 3 states changed, that was all.
Arizona 11 1,672,143 - 6,000 = 1666143 1,661,686 + 6,000 =1,667,686 TRUMP by 1,543
Georgia 16 2,473,633 - 6,000 = 2,467,633 2,461,854 + 6,000 = 2,467,854 TRUMP by 221
Wis. 10 1,630,866 - 12,000 =1,618,866 1,610,184 +12,000 =1,622,184 TRUMP by 3,318
BIDEN 306 -37 = 269 trump 232 +37=269
Trumps biggest mistake was not pardoning the J6 rioters. If he had you would see many more MAGA face law enforcement when he is indicted.
