Here's how I stumbled on a major discrepancy between the charts Philly and PA were putting out, and the actual records published by the Commonwealth's open data portal. Watch how I found it, downloaded it, sorted it and found the discrepancy. See detailed article to accompany the video: https://www.back2facts.com/data/2021/1/15/remember-this-graphic
Not all of us remember Bush vs. Gore in the year 2000. But I do. We the People were confused that Gore conceded before we could get to the bottom of how the people actually voted in Florida. Back then, when Bush was inaugurated, there was a lot of grumbling by Us. We did not feel right about it. But we begrudgingly went along for “continuity of government.”
Twenty years later, and we are going through the same thing. The American people, on all sides, have a sense of unease as far as confidence in the process. So why aren’t our trusted media curious as to how the people actually voted? Better minds than me would know the answer.
But in the meantime, we observe that the court challenges are far from defeated, in spite of our trusted media’s voluminous headlines to the contrary.
Analysis by Tatiana Prophet
Excitement crackled early on Election Night in the United States, but by bedtime for many, the crackle turned to fizzle.
All were disappointed. Florida was way too close for either camp, and though President Trump pulled away from Biden, it appeared that media outlets were waiting till the very last ember of Democrat hope went out before calling the race for Trump.
It was the opposite for Biden — even over at (newly reorganized) FOX News. By 4 pm Eastern, there was a tally showing Trump leading by 10 points in Virginia, of all states, at the same time that FOX News’ Bret Baier called the state for Biden.
In spite of the famous premature calls of elections past, such as Truman vs. Dewey and Bush vs. Gore, the overarching impression of the night was that early “calls” were A-OK!
