Yeah, I think that was the clip I had seen. According to the comments the first view was by state. Big fat zero. When he adjusted it to compare by county, there were 58 counties in the entire country where Harris was out performing Biden.

To put that in perspective, there are more than 3,000 counties in the country.

That's pretty graphic. Sobering if you're a Californian politician. In addition to worrying about losing your seat to a candidate from another party, you have to be concerned that the seat itself could be eliminated.

2008 Obama 69.5
2012 Obama 66
2016 Hillary 65.9
2020 Biden 81
2024 Harris 66

Harris' number looks inflated but Biden's sticks out like a sore thumb at 20% larger than Hillary or Harris or Obama 2012


I just read a Daily Signal (conservative daily online commentary) article that raised the issue but appeared to be attempting to calm the rhetoric and suggest that 2020 just had a higher turnout (for unexplained reasons in a Covid year) and that the 2024 vote is still being counted (which is true, Trumps numbers are starting to approach his 2024 number, and Kamala is now over 70 million). But the number of still uncounted votes are rapidly declining, and their attempts to explain the missing 11+ million votes in 2024 (or extra votes in 2020) doesn't hold water. That would mean that of the extra 4% of voter participation, 100% went for Biden.

How does that happen? Only one way. Ballot box stuffing (as a generic term, done by any number of ways).

Nobody’s going to be arrested for stuffing. And before you know it, we’ll have stumbled our way past the statute of limitations deadline…while those arrested for showing up on J6 will still be languishing in prison.

At this point I would just be happy with the historical record being corrected. Maybe eventually, 20-30 years from now, when I'm dead.

Yeah, well ultimately all gets revealed. Gonna suck being on the wrong end of that. (In modern vernacular. ) My wife has two competing spiritual gifts: encouragement, and justice. They cause her no end of internal stress! I chuckle about it but at times her stress from that can be high, so I have to temper my amusement. I have enough of a sense of justice that I would like to see some of that justice happen here on earth - even if just a touch of it.

Justice...that's my favorite word for everyone else, but thanks, I don't want it applied to me. LOL

I'll tell you where we seem to need some justice right now: the Senate race in AZ where the Dem candidate got more votes than there are registered Dems. Of course some independents and Repubs could have crossed over, but he also got more votes than Harris. Seems fishy.
