Thanks, Ben. A few things...and I hope this data was from a neutral source and not a right-leaning source. But let's go with it.
1) A control or baseline analysis is important to relate these numbers to so as to see if these are normative or unique to 2020.
So next I'd personally seek (
a) the voting data for these
same states
during past elections for comparison...AND/OR (
b) the voting data for a significant swath of
other states - preferably a mix of red and blue states -
during the same 2020 election.
My goal would be to see if these same apparent irregularities occurred in other states that went to Trump in 2020 thus negating the issue...or to see if similar irregularities occurred in the above battleground states during in 2016 elections that Trump won.
2) Regarding the data...generally
- How many of those counted as "dead/ghost voters" are actually living people that have the same name as dead/ghost voters? Was this taken into account? For instance, a cousin of mine was named after my deceased grandfather to honor him.
- How many of those counted as duplicate/double voters, or those voting from different addresses, are unique people who simply have the same name?
Personally, I live in a state where there's someone with my exact name. It surprised me. I discovered this while trying to claim property that was mine. And when I ran a simple google search of my name dozens of different people appeared having the same name as me.
- By law, a person can cast an absentee ballot if they're out of state or not at a voting location where they're registered or even if they're homeless. These ballots are set aside and compared to voter rolls to avoid double-votes from two different locations.
3) Who Can & Can't Vote? https://www.usa.gov/who-can-vote
You can vote in U.S. elections if you:
- Are a U.S. citizen
- Meet your state’s residency requirements
- Are 18 years old on or before Election Day
- Are registered to vote by your state’s voter registration deadline. North Dakota (a RED STATE for instance) does not require voter registration.
Who CAN’T Vote?
----
As stated on usa.gov, most of these requirements are on a state-by-state basis:
https://www.usvotefoundation.org/vote/sviddomestic.htm
Based on the data at the above site and on usa.gov, we must correct the data as follows...but I will immediately post state-by-state requirements found on the site above for the record.
4) Data Correction based on the above facts.
(Any irregularities not explained by state requirements, or ones I couldn't verify one way or another, remain.)
Arizona
- non-citizen voters: 36,473
- over-votes: 11,676
possible illegal votes: 48,149 (4.6x Biden victory margin at 10,457)
Georgia
- voting machine irregularities: 136,155
possible illegal votes: 136,155 (11x Biden victory margin at 11,779)
Michigan
- absentee ballots without consent: 27,825
- voting machine irregularities: 195,755
possible illegal votes: 223,580 (1.4x Biden victory margin at 154,818)
Nevada
non-citizen voters: 4,000
signature matching errors: 130,000
possible illegal votes: 134,000 (4x Biden victory margin at 33,596)
Pennsylvania
-over-votes: 202,377
possible illegal votes: 202,377 (2.5x Biden victory margin at 81,660)
Wisconsin
- voting machine irregularities: 143,379
possible illegal votes: 143,379 (6.9x Biden victory margin at 20,682)
Total possible Illegal Votes (corrected): 887,640
Total Biden Victory Margin: 312,992
(2.8 x Biden's Margin)
5) Out of the total number of possible illegal votes,
how many were for Biden and
how many were for Trump? This critical bit of information isn't provided in the data. But I understand the argument that it's within the margin of victory.
