Some of this pieces I like and learn a lot from but this is dreadful and right off the bat:
In this election cycle they tried virtually everything, and none of their previous methods were enough to rig and steal the election for their candidate. From alleged cases of electronic vote machine rigging via machine ‘anomalies’, to ballot harvesting, false polls and surveys, rigged search results on Google and elsewhere, to the big one: mass illegal migrant invasion meant to install a permanent Democrat voting regime in perpetuity.
Then his idea that the collapse of the Dem vote means the 2020 election was stolen is ridiculous.
I've given up by then. Not one of his better efforts. Are we sure he's not Steve Bannon or Stephen Miller?The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide. Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.

Brookings Institute (spit) but lots of data and attendant expanations.
The reasons for the fall we know (the real reasons that is!) The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide. Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.
Also 2020 had a huge surge in mail-in voting due to Covid nm

The voters were unenthusiastic?
By logic, this increased (and especially) mail-in voter participation in 2020 could have been engineered and manipulated. The possibility is certainly there.
I remember at the time I looked at the statistics and thought "No way José" and commented. Since 2020 they tightened on voting procedures with apparently 100 Republican lawyers per state being committed to checking, this 2024 election procedures. Some reports are in that stopping the recount of votes was challenged and resumed unlike the 2020 one, for example.
It's not that ridiculous to my mind. Many prominent pundits have commented on this.
Re: Also 2020 had a huge surge in mail-in voting due to Covid nm
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:
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). The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide. Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.
As far as I've seen not much and I don't think they will hit the magic 5%.
Is the non-counting related to that story about certain places putting up fake "Stein has withdrawn" notices in polling sites or was that all fake? The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide. Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.

As I commented earlier, I agree that it was Dem apathy had contributed + the rest. Nevertheless, I also think it was the working class that had most grievances and needed 'change'. It seems likely.
