Doubts about election

As a retired assistant D.A. of 35 years, you can rest assured I am deeply suspicious of stories that just don’t add up. Joe Biden, while hiding in his basement from covid, was swept into office on a massive wave when he flipped several very critical states from Donald Trump, right?

Let’s look at this electoral miracle a little closer, shall we?

Let’s look at Pennsylvania, for example. How did a frail, old, non-inspiring white guy like Biden garner 3,458,229 votes in the 2020 election, far outshining that young Black energetic incumbent President Barack Obama in 2012 when he only got 2,990,274? What happened in Pennsylvania to account for this increase of 467,955 votes?

What about President Obama’s home state of Illinois? Doesn’t it strike you as a little beyond odd that sleepy Joe got 3,471,915 votes there in ’20 while Obama only got 3,019,512 in ’12?

Not to be forgotten are the critical states of Wisconsin (Biden 1,630,866 in 2020; Obama 1,620,985 in 2012), Arizona (Biden 1,672,143; Obama 1,025,232) and Michigan (Biden 2,804,040; Obama, 2,564,569).

And then, we had the New York Post print the unbelievably important story of Hunter Biden’s corruption a few weeks before the election. It seems Twitter and the other social media companies shut the story down, and other than Fox News, the networks ignored the scandal. How many Biden voters would have changed their minds if this had been fairly reported?

So, color me a hard skeptic, folks, that the 2020 election was fair and above board.
