For four years the Democrats and their media allies maintained the drumbeat that Donald Trump was an illegitimate president because of Russian “collusion,” even when their key guy, Robert Mueller, failed to prove it.
So, it only seems fitting that Trump and his supporters spend the next four years arguing that Joe Biden did not win fairly.
The latest iteration of this came from former Army captain and election analyst Seth Keshel, who recently published an analysis arguing Biden received 8.1 million “excess” votes – meaning the number of votes that could have been expected to go for Biden.
Keshel argues that his county-by-county analysis reveals Trump actually won Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
In an interview with former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, Keshel explained that his homework was based on reviewing trends in population growth, voter registration changes, and past election results.
He said across the board these patterns were “disturbed” in many of the states carried by Biden. He noted this helped explain why “bellwhethers” that had faithfully predicted the presidential winner for 120 years were “disturbed” as well.
A BBC report a few weeks after the election helps explain what Keshel meant.
“Of the 19 pivot counties across America to correctly pick the president every time over the past 10 election cycles, only one – Clallam County in Washington state – saw a majority back Joe Biden for president,” the BBC reported. “What’s more, in this year’s election voters in leading bellwether counties didn’t just come out for Donald Trump marginally; they backed him in droves.”
The BBC continued, “In Valencia County, New Mexico, which had correctly predicted the winner of every presidential election since 1952, Mr. Trump won by 10 points; in Indiana’s Vigo County, which backed every president bar two since 1888, he prevailed by 15 points.”
“In Westmoreland County, Virginia – a small, rural community south of Washington DC that’s failed to be a bellwether only twice since 1928, and is home to twice the number of African Americans than the national average – he beat Mr Biden by 16 points.”
Keshel said his analysis would continue.
