The 2024 election results have sparked a renewed debate among American citizens who had previously expressed concerns about potential voter fraud in the 2020 election. The number of votes received by Joe Biden in the 2020 election, compared to the votes received by Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, has raised eyebrows and led to questions about the legitimacy of the 2020 election results.
In the 2020 election, President Donald Trump received 74.2 million votes, while Biden received 81.2 million votes, totaling over 155 million votes. However, in the 2024 election, Trump secured over 73.2 million votes, and Harris received 68.6 million votes, totaling around 141.8 million votes, according to the latest count by Decision Desk HQ. These numbers are still subject to change as votes continue to be counted in states like California.
For historical context, in the 2016 election, Trump secured 62.9 million votes, and Hillary Clinton secured 65.8 million votes. In 2012, former Utah Sen. Mitt Romney netted 60.9 million votes, and President Barack Obama secured 65.9 million votes. The popular vote count for Harris in the 2024 election seems to align with the numbers for Clinton and Obama, while Biden’s 2020 result appears to be an anomaly.
Following the 2024 election, Democrats and their allies in the media began questioning how they could have record turnout yet still have Harris receive significantly fewer votes than Biden did in 2020. This line of questioning inadvertently reignited concerns about the legitimacy of the 2020 election.
The popular vote results from the 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections were compared in a graph shared by Zerohedge, prompting calls for a closer examination of the 2020 election results. Rasmussen Reports echoed this sentiment, stating that American voters deserve to know where the 81 million votes for Biden in 2020 came from and why the evidence collected has not been thoroughly analyzed and presented.
The discrepancy in the vote count has not gone unnoticed. Joe Rogan, a last-minute Trump supporter, expressed his disbelief at the difference in the number of votes Biden received in 2020 compared to other elections. Nathan Hughes, one of the Jan. 6 protesters prosecuted by the Biden-Harris Department of Justice, also questioned the legitimacy of Biden’s 81 million votes.
Some conservatives are hopeful that with a Republican trifecta at the federal level, there will soon be answers and accountability. Steve Bannon, a vocal critic of the alleged election irregularities in 2020, expressed his belief that the truth will come out.
Despite these concerns, the liberal media and organizations like The Associated Press have continued to assert the legitimacy of the 2020 election. The AP published a fact-check article stating that “claims of widespread fraud in 2020 have been debunked countless times.” Once all the votes from the 2024 election are counted and finalized, Americans will have a clearer understanding of the 2020 election’s uniqueness.
