REVEALED: ‘Simple Math’ Shows Biden Claims 13 MILLION More Votes Than There Were Eligible Voters Who Voted in 2020 Election
@JoeHoft via @gatewaypundit
Here is the Gateway Pundit Article.
Bill Binney, of US Intel fame tweeted out a message yesterday noting that more people voted in the 2020 election nation-wide than were eligible to vote.
Binney attaches a link to the number of registered voters in the US. We made a copy as of today and added these voters up. When we add up the number of registered voters we obtain 213.8 million registered voters in the US as of this morning.
Using the numbers as of today, which are materially similar to Binney’s, we find a huge issue. If we have 213.8 million registered voters in the US and 66.2% of all voters voted in the 2020 election, that equals 141.5 voters who voted in the 2020 election (Binney shows 140 million which is materially the same).
If President Trump won 74 million votes, then that leaves only 67.5 million votes remaining for Biden. This means 13 million duplicate or made up ballots were created and counted for Biden!
This also supports our observations from the start. Biden committed fraud in every imaginable way, but the big steal was in millions of fraudulent votes that were created to steal the election for Biden. MILLIONS!
(39)With 212Million registered voters and 66.2% voting,140.344 M voted. Now if Trump got 74 M, that leaves only 66.344 M for Biden. These numbers don’t add up to what we are being told. Lies and more Lies!https://t.co/pY3n6DEWzP https://t.co/5FSNfJw992

Disputing the Garbage
I did not doublecheck the Gateway Pundit Spreadsheet. Instead I used their source and added three columns.
My added columns are votes for Trump, Votes for Biden, and Total Votes for Trump + Biden. I excluded irrelevant columns.
Popular Vote Totals Alabama Through Mississippi
Election Popular Vote Totals MO Thru WY
In no state did the total for Biden + Trump exceed the number of registered voters.
Thus the total of votes did not exceed the number of registered voters either.
Where’s the Lie?
The main lie is only 140 million people voted.
The 2020 presidential election set a participation record, with more than 157 million people casting their ballots.
My state-by-state totals are from Election 2020 Results and Live Updates.
If you wish sloppy, biased reporting, by all means keep reading the Gateway Pundit.
At least 25,600 people retweeted @gatewaypundit
Gateway Pundit garbage.
Another 14,000 retweeted garbage by @Bill_Binney, Bill Binney, self proclaimed “Constitutional Patriot”
Correction
I inadvertently copied South Carolina into South Dakota. Now Corrected.
Addendum
Reader Easterbilby came up with this: The core mistake is using a 66.2% turnout figure from WAPO. That number is more-or-less accurate, but it is 66.2% of eligible voters, not registered voters. It comes from the United States Election Project.
If so, there is no excuse for using a turnout percentage as a means of determining the actual turnout instead of using reported turnout numbers.
Another reader was annoyed with the number of registered voters column claiming it was too high.
Amusingly I used the source the Gateway Pundit used. There is a CSV download available and I used it straight up.
Mish
Gateway Pundit, Breitbart, The Hill, Newsmax, and as far as I am concerned Sinclair Broadcasting have all the credibility of CraigsList RANTS AND RAVES: politics.
You want to see some Cra Cra political crap with obscenely phrased hate and sedition? Try it.
no one ever stated the number of votes in a state exceeded, that was in specific counties lol..
Meanwhile Newsmax has joined with FOX nad stating that newsmax has no ties to george soros, nancy pelosi or hugo chavez. they are running from the whole story after smartmatic lawyered up
How does one call themselves a “Constitutional Patriot” and support Donald “take the guns” Trump? Bill Binney has some explaining to do…
There are more registered voters than eligible voters in many counties in KY. Should we now call into questions the Senate race there?
Jim Hoft at the Gateway Pundit is not only fake news. He is a fake conservative. He rose during the Tea Party movement in St. Louis, yet he rarely complains about the record spending approved by Donald Trump, the new taxes Trump pushes in the form of tariffs, and of course Trump’s efforts for more gun control.
He is a big disappointment.
All we need is the total number of registered voters. Calculate Trumps total, which was 71 million and subtract that number from the total. On election night, Trump had massive leads (750,000 in PA) and large leads in most all of the swing states. All of the swing states simultaneously stopped counting votes around 11:30PM on election night, which I’m sure was just a “coincidence.” Then Biden votes showed up in the middle of the night at all of the counties in all of the swing states, many in trash bags and many with no crease in the ballot, meaning it could not have been sent in the mail. Trump’s massive lead turns into a deficit soon after. Not to mention all of the swing states were using Dominion voting machines which showed blocks of Biden votes in many counties showing up in groups of 1200 and 3400, which is highly suspicious and mathematically, next to impossible. Whistleblowers came forward and were threatened in many ways, including with the loss of their jobs. Trump campaigned heavily and had anywhere from 10,000-60,000 supporters showing up. Biden did almost no campaigning and when he did, had about 12 people show up and half of them were the “press.” Biden supposedly had 10 million more votes than Obama, who campaigned non-stop with much enthusiasm from his base. Biden had almost no enthusiasm from his base. Anyone who is intellectually honest should want to look at these irregularities, investigate them and determine the truth. The integrity of our election system should be far more important than putting Biden in, anyway possible, even if it meant rigging the election. Truth matters.
And, this is why Trump loses in court. He is long on innuendo, and short on facts. The election went exactly as everyone predicted. Trump took an early lead as in-person votes were counted, and fell behind as mail in ballots were counted. The best evidence that that there was no fraud is that while Trump lost, down ticket Republicans did fine. When there is fraud, that doesn’t happen.
In the end, Trump’s argument boils down to the fact that it is inconceivable (to him), that massive numbers of people voted for Biden. Or did they? More likely, massive numbers of people voted against Trump.
The “irregularities” have been looked at. They have found to either not be irregular at all (such as the “suitcases” of ballots under the table), or to be insignificant. Trump’s lawsuits had no merit, so they all lost. I believe that was as he intended. I believe that his real plan is to provoke massive riots after January 6th, and then to declare martial law.
The 10 million more votes for Biden than Obama was in 2008. Now consider that 2008 was 12 years ago. The US population increases by about 1.7 million per year and every age group goes up by a year each year, so the voting age people rises by that much net of deaths. Every year. Meaning the population is now 20.6 million more than in 2008. And given the very high voter turn out in 2020 the numbers for the increase for both candidates.
Election 2020 was a referendum on Trump’s horrific administration and graft, he did all he could to change the dynamic of the election and failed. I am very certain there was vote fraud and election chicanery, but it was in voter suppression by the GOP, it was in illegally purging voter rolls of democrats and minorities, it was in fraudulent spurious attacks on our democracy by republicans so butt hurt over LOSING they have done nothing but issue threats to use force to put a Trump coup in place, threaten violence, sedition, treason, and filed so many baseless frivolous lawsuits which have all failed because they have zero evidence of fraud that never happened.
Fine with me, this is a split in the GOP that will permanently cripple it even as demographics leaves all this conservative crap in the dust where it belongs.
Whatever narrative you’d like to believe, there is some SOB flogging it. The truth is a casualty of media….It always was, to tell you the truth…..but when there was only one narrative , then most people went along with it.
In general, there isn’t much attention paid to the truth as a desirable feature of journalism.
The best you can hope for is to weed out the out-and-out lies….but bias? Bias is in everything. You can learn to spot it if you work at it.
here’s an article from back in November debunking the claim. I’m virtually certain there’s a similar article that points to 2016 voter data being used. These articles such as Gateway are targeted at the least intellectually curious in our society and I’m being kind
I’m not wasting my time on Gateway Pundit numbes but claims like this have been on social media since November 3rd. Usually the answer has fallen on a mxing of 2020 against 2016 data. If it were this simple in reality the analysis would have wound up in a court filing in at lest one of the over 60 cases Donald Trump and his allies have filed that were either withdrawn or dismissed. And in court one can’t engage in non-nonse claims or face perjury charges.
Or worse, the claim that Biden improved on Obama by ten million votes is from 2008 when Obama got just short of 70 million votes. As I posted above the NET voting age population rises by 1.7 million per year, and WTF? The population has risen by 20.7 million since Obama got that near 70 million.
These absurd claims by the right repeated without two minutes of fact checking by drooling conservatives is actually quite hilarious. And it is a god send for the democrats, the Trump cult are splitting the GOP when the GOP is facing demographic issues that was already the reason they have to cheat to win. Like their purging of Georgia voter rolls of 200,000 democrats just since the general election who are still valid living people wanting to vote. These turds actually turned out the lights, locked the doors, and refused to answer the phones rather than being served with court papers to appear in the case.
There is nothing in all my 60+ years of life more disgusting and obscene than what Trump and his brainless cult has done, are doing. I used to be able to vote for people like Reagan and McCain, but I can assure you there will never be another ballot defaced by my hand for anyone with an (R) next to their names.
If you get your news from gateway pundit.
Just stop there.
Meh!..Start working on January 5, 2021 When two seats will be won in the great black & white shake up!.. This starts the dismantling of the GOP and sends old white shitweasels back to eating at Cracker Barrel and rightfully so!
Now tell us how you really feel ROGO1.
Alright, way to speak truth to power and call out the bull in the media!!!
Phew…for a while there I thought the media was drifting back to center-left!
Gateway Pundit is a fake news site with zero credibility amongst educated people. Not even necessary to do the analysis.
If your data is accurate, then 73.2% of registered voters did so in the 2020 election. Is such a high turnout likely?
This suggests that the 66.2% figure used by WaPo is invalid.
Actually, the turn-out numbers are not suspect on their face in aggregate (could still be corrupt). But there are counties where the turn-out, especially in historical context, is highly suspect.
An unusually high number of voters was to be expected. Trump was a highly polarizing figure. Some loved him. Some hated him. With Covid, people were not “busy”, as they usually are, and more people had time to plan on how they were going to vote. Anyone that didn’t expect an unusually high voter turnout was not paying attention.
I agree with Carl, the African American voters were as energized this year as when Obama first ran in 2008 if not more so. Democrats saw this as a vital referendum on Trump, many such as myself saw it as a last chance to save America from a GOP fraudulent election in 2016, and a coup by a barbarian slob and his idiotic racist cult.
That is why Biden got 81 million votes. That is why Trump that fat assed orange spy LOST
By that”logic” if 140m people voted and biden got 80m that means trump could have only gotten 60m. Total fraud by team trump to create 14m fraudulent votes.
This! Totally agree. If more voted than possible, I bet you have cheats on both sides.
More complicated. Not every voter votes a presidential candidate.
Nice try. Trump had the most votes ever recorded from an incumbent president. Trump had many rally’s with massive crowds ranging from 10K-60K people. Biden had almost no enthusiasm, did not really campaign and when he did, had about 12 people show up. Trump’s massive leads turned into deficits after all swing states stopped counting the votes simultaneously, by “coincidence” and then receiving garbage bags of Biden votes in all of the counties in all of the swing states, many of which with no crease in the ballot and no “down voting” meaning they could not have been mailed. Couple that with all of the swing states using Dominion voting machines that received blocks of Biden votes showing up in groups of 1200 and 3400. Not possible. This election was rigged.
You’re an idiot
Does your refutation mean that my ticket to Fat Donnie from Queens’ second inaugural is useless?
Your ticket is like fiat currency and Santa. It only loses its worth if you lose faith in it.
Santa is fake? Nooo! What does Sydney Powell have to say about Santa?
