THE 2020 ELECTION: ANOTHER REVIEW...MORE OF THE SAME?

WITH DONALD TRUMP STILL ATTEMPTING TO STEAL ANOTHER ELECTION, I THOUGHT ANOTHER REVIEW WOULD HELP SHED SOME MORE LIGHT ON THE TRUE NATURE OF HIS SUPPORT. TO DO THAT, WHAT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE THAN A LOOK AT ONE OF HIS "STRONGHOLDS."

The following results are so absurd, that it's tough to blame just one person or party. Of all the bogus results that I have come across in the 2016 and 2020 Presidential elections, this stands alone. THE FACT THAT NO POLITICAL PARTY/ORGANIZATION OR MEDIA OUTLET HAS COMMENTED ON THESE "UNIQUE" RESULTS IS TELLING, AND THAT TOGETHER WITH THE 2020 RESULTS IN FLORIDA AND OHIO SEEMS TO INDICATE THAT NEITHER PARTY CAN BE TRUSTED TO ACTUALLY OPERATE AN ELECTION WITH MINIMAL GUARANTEES OF HONESTY AND ACCURACY IN SOME STATES. 

ALONG WITH THE BOGUS RESULTS FROM THE 2016  PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, IT INDICATES A TREND TO ALLOW IMPROBABLE AND UNREALISTIC RETURNS IN SPECIFIC STATES TO GO UNCHALLENGED, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME ALLOWING UNEVIDENCED, IRRATIONAL AND INVALID ACCUSATIONS ABOUT ELECTION FRAUD AGAINST OTHER STATES BECOME NATIONAL NEWS BY REFUSING TO CONFRONT AN UNSCRUPULOUS DEMAGOGUE.

THIS IS NOT JUST A CORRUPT AND INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT AND HIS PARTY AT WORK. (DONALD TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY).  IT WOULD NOT WORK UNLESS THE OPPOSITION PARTY OFFERED LITTLE OR NO RESISTANCE...AND THEY DON'T. (CHUCK SCHUMER AND SENATE DEMOCRATS.)

WITH THAT SAID, I PRESENT THE PRESIDENTIAL RETURNS FOR 2016 AND 2020 FROM THE STATE OF TEXAS.

Turnout (VAP)						46.45%[33]

CHANGE FROM 2016-2020.

STATE TOAL-  + 2,345,830, 26.2%

REPUBLICAN TOTAL-  +1,205,300, 25.7%

DEMOCRATIC TOTAL-  +1,381,258, 35.6%

THE REPUBLICAN AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTIES INCREASED 

THEIR COMBINED TOTALS 2,586,558 VOTES, 30.2%, WHICH IS

240,728 VOTES MORE THAN THE INCREASE FOR THE ENTIRE STATE.

WHAT IS REALLY INTERESTING IS:

THE # OF VOTES CAST FOR CANDIDATES

NEITHER REP. OR DEM. DECREASED BY : - 240,748

406,331-165,583= 240,748, OR 59.2%  BETWEEN 2016-2020.

THE DECREASE IN THE # OF NON-REP./DEM. VOTES BETWEEN 2016-2020: - 240,748

IS VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL TO THE COMBINED TOTALS OF INCREASED VOTES 

FOR BOTH PARTIES 2016-2020: 240,728.

SO LET'S CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING: THE STATEWIDE % OF THE TOTAL VOTE FOR

DONALD TRUMP REMAINED ABOUT THE SAME: 52.23% to 52.06% from 2016-2020,

WHILE THE DEMOCRATS INCREASED THEIR % OF THE STATE VOTE BY  43.24% TO 46.48%,

BOLSTERED BY A 35.6% INCREASE IN THE TOTAL  # OF VOTES FOR THE PARTY.

...AND THEY STILL LOST TEXAS.
