I'm also reading this morning that the total votes cast (when they are all counted) will only be a couple of million off (157.5 v 159.7 in 2020).

As Pallast has been reporting for close to two decades now, voter supression is a mostly Republican game (Georgia being a glaring example) so there is also that drain on the Dems which won't be touched at all by the msm.

Here's the same table for this year from Florida U:

https://election.lab.ufl.edu/2024-general-election-turnout/

which shows a touch under 153,000,000 ballots counted in 2024 v 156,000,000 in 2020 (~81 mill v ~74 mill). So a difference of around 3 million. Not much.

Even the BBC has the total votes cast at 142,000,000 as of now which is almost 6,000,000 more than shown on the graph in the Simp article.

There are so many fails in this.

Most of the methods of fixing (that Pallast and the rest have reported) are based around supression, not packing.

Did they also rig it so that Trump got a massive increase in votes too (62 to 74 mill in 2020) or was that just organic?

Don't get me wrong, American elections are the bottom of the table for electoral integrity; the usual excuse is that each state is allowed its own systems and methods which causes problems when they have to be put together, but there has been a LOT of reporting on the issues with machines being open to interference and voter roll supression (which first came to prominence in the Bush Gore debacle). This all has evidence, ignored by the msm admittedly but evidence.

The Simp article doesn't have that. It does have lots of racist "hordes of immigrant voters for the democrats" rubbish, right out of the Bannon/Daily Wire playbook and less detailed stats than all the links I've posted above so until I see better evidence than "Obama was a big moment, he got x, Biden got y, y is way more than x, therefore it was fixed" I'll be on the doubting side.

The Dem vote collapsed through apathy, inbetweeners going to Trump because of the economy and immigration, Gaza (which destroyed the Arab American vote and the young vote which was a massively activated demographic in 2020) and various other issues (their failure on reproductive rights also lowered the female vote, another key in 2020).
