Hello, Joe, I have a question. According to Wikipedia, which is usually reliable about things that can easily be checked, Joe Biden received 3,458,229 votes in PA in 2020. Thus far, in 2024, 3,396,037 votes have been recorded for Kamila Harris. That's a decrease of 59,192, not 198,000. I have believed for the last four years that the state of Pennsylvania was stolen from Donald Trump in 2020, but I am beginning to wonder. Is Wikipedia wrong?

Jerome, I think you are correct. Looking more carefully, the Daily Yonder results are dated 11/6/24, and probably did not include all of Kamal's votes. Therefore, I jumped to an erroneous conclusion by saying the 2024 election shortfall was close in amount to the amount of the 2020 voter deficit. I will check further into the Daily Yonder figures, and modify the posting if necessary. Thank you!

You are certainly welcome. When the meme started circulating, that KH had gotten 20 million fewer votes than FJB, it seemed obvious that we had somehow managed to Stop the Steal (TM). But when I looked at the specific states where we thought they stole it in 2020, KH came close. It will be interesting to see where she lost all those votes (the current FJB-KH loss is around eight million, not twenty).

Hi Jerome,

I just posted a corrected version of my article, with the middle section entirely removed (the part with the Daily Yonder graph). There was no other way to fix it. I try to be accurate but this time I really "blew it." Thank you very much for your help.

I have had to eat a bit of crow, after four years of claiming "We wuz robbed!" Fortunately, I find that crow is actually pretty tasty if you give it a healthy slathering of Trump Victory Sauce. Mmm-mmm, good!

Oops, 62,192, not 59,192. But still. If there were 200,000 phony votes for FJB in 2020, then there must have also been a lot of phony votes for KH in 2024. Just not enough to win it, which seems strange.

Thanks for all the great work you do, Joe. I always look forward to learning something new from your posts. I would still love to see you on Tucker Carlson and/or Joe Rogan!

Thank you very much Russ. I have also enjoyed your fine comments. As for Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan I don't think they are about to call. But that is fine with me. In addition to reading I would like to do a little fishing. I am an old codger and would like to slow down the pace a bit.

Thank you, John. I appreciate your comment. There is a lot of work the Republicans must do, and part of it is to pass legislation that will improve the integrity in Federal elections.

I’m sure Gaetz will be looking into these criminal activities once he purges the corrupted Justice

Department.

By the way Biden got way more votes than Obama because he was more adept at exciting the “base”

Good work Joe!

Hi Alex, I hope the RINOs in the Senate don't torpedo the Gaetz nomination. He is the kind of guy who can clean house. I am surprised Trump got so many votes by holding those huge rallies. In 2020 Biden showed us that the best way to get votes is by staying in the basement! Thanks for writing.
