Hillary Clinton tallied about 65 million votes as the Democrats’ presidential candidate in 2016, but in the Covid-year of 2020, Joe Biden received over 81 million votes. In 2024, Kamala Harris received 75 million votes, a significant dropoff from Joe Biden’s record ballot total.

Donald Trump, by contrast saw a steady increase in his vote total in each successive presidential race:

2016: ~ 62 million votes
2020: ~ 74 million votes
2024: ~ 77 million votes

Because it is simply preposterous that Joe Biden so wildly overperformed Hillary and Kamala, especially considering that all three ran against the same Republican candidate, there is a widespread assumption that Covid-era ballot chicanery resulted in Biden’s unmatched vote total. You’ll also recall that in the midst of the 2020 Covid hysteria, in-person voting was deemed lethally dangerous by Democrats, numerous judges, and the legacy media. Instead, ballots were scattered into the wind, to be gathered via mail, dropbox, ballot harvesters, copy machines, etc., with verification protocols mostly abandoned.

So where did those excess Biden ballots come from? I asked Grok to create a table for me, showing the vote totals by state for each of those three presidential elections, and then I exported those results into Excel so I could calculate the differences over the election cycles. There is nothing askew in the Trump results. On a state level and nationally, his vote totals consistently increased across the board over the three elections. But there are some huge swings in Democrat vote totals.

None of this proves fraud, but neither does it explain the Democrats’ extraordinary ballot haul in 2020. Further, the most preposterous Democrat vote totals in 2020 mainly occurred in deep blue states, so whatever ballot fraud may or may not have been occurring there served to increase Biden’s national vote total, but did not affect those states’ electoral votes. However, to the extent that there were fraudulent Democrat ballots for Biden, those likely cost Republicans some down ballot races in blue states.

While I have posted all vote totals further below, immediately below are the Democrats’ totals in swing states, and a few other interesting state results. Directly below this table are a few observations of mine about these state results.

CALIFORNIA
• Joe Biden received 3.7 million more votes in 2020 than Hillary did in 2016, a 51% increase!
• But in 2024, Kamala – a California politician - received 1.9 million less votes than Biden did in 2020, a 26% decrease.
• If there wasn’t widespread fraud in California in 2020, there was a peculiar level of non-replicable ballot harvesting.

IllINOIS
• Kamala Harris’ vote total in 2024 exactly matched Hillary Clinton’s 2016 vote total in Illinois, 3.09 million votes.
• But Joe Biden somehow received 381,000 more votes than either of them, 12% more.

FLORIDA
• It’s easy to forget that Florida was still a swing state when Ron DeSantis took office in 2019 - the great rightward shift in Florida voters had not yet occurred. Democrats thought they could win Florida in 2020, and they did an amazing job getting Biden ballots counted. In fact, Florida may have had the most statistically improbable Democrat surge of any state in 2020.
• Joe Biden received 792,000 more votes in Florida in 2020 than Hillary did in 2016. Since Trump beat Hillary by barely 100,000 votes in Florida in 2016, that could have easily flipped Florida to Trump if Trump hadn’t gathered 1 million more votes.
• But in 2024, Kamala received 614,000 less Florida votes than Biden received in 2020, making Kamala’s 2024 result little different than Hillary’s 2016 result.
• It is just preposterous to believe Joe Biden outperformed both Kamala and Hillary in Florida to that extent.

As for the swing states that Trump seemed to have won on Election Night 2020, but then magically lost in coming days, the trends are not as dramatic, but of course, the goal wasn’t to run up the score, it was just to find enough ballots of various integrity to count. Here are some observations on those states:

ARIZONA
• Joe Biden received 735,000 more Arizona votes in 2020 that Hillary did in 2016, a whopping 79% increase! That allowed Biden to beat Trump by about 11,000 votes.
• Kamala received 89,000 less votes in Arizona in 2024 than Biden did in 2020, losing handily to Donald Trump, who increased his vote total.

GEORGIA
• Despite Biden collecting 32% more votes in Georgia in 2020 than Hillary did in 2016, Kamala actually got more votes than Biden in 2024.
• In fact, Georgia is pretty much the only state that Kamala outperformed both Hillary and Biden
• Fortunately, on a statewide basis, Trump in 2024 was able to outperform the fraud Democrat voter passion that persists in Fulton County.

PENNSYLVANIA
• Biden’s 2020 vote total was 18% higher than Hillary’s 2016 total.
• Kamala’s 2024 vote total was 5% lower than Biden’s 2020 total.

MICHIGAN
• Biden’s 2020 vote total was 24% higher than Hillary’s 2016 total.
• Kamala’s 2024 vote total was 4% lower than Biden’s 2020 total.

There is no great thesis to this post other than to break out where Biden’s excess 2020 votes came from. While I’m not going to dig any deeper, I’m sure there are some fascinating county-level results that would shed more light on specifically which precincts were so adept at “get-out-the-vote efforts” in 2020.

Below is the vote total by state for each candidate in the 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections.
