There are a lot of people who found the outcome of the 2020 United States presidential election hard to believe. It was because rules were changed in the election year, and there was a record number of mail in ballots due to concerns over COVID spreading a voting stations. Then, on election night, it looked like Donald Trump was on his way to reelection, when the voting was stopped and the mail-in ballots were counted. The official story is that the mail-in ballots were weighted heavily towards Biden, but it just seemed very suspicious, especially in the key battleground states.
Here's an overview of the key aspects related to this "conspiracy" theory:
- Allegations of Voter Fraud: One of the primary arguments is that there were widespread instances of voter fraud, including but not limited to ballot tampering, illegal voting by non-citizens, deceased individuals, or individuals voting multiple times.
- Irregularities in the Voting Process: Supporters of the stolen election theory point to irregularities in the voting process, such as changes to election procedures made due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which they argue opened the door for potential fraud. They cite instances of unexplained spikes in votes, discrepancies in vote counts, or reports of malfunctioning voting machines.
- Legal Challenges and Court Cases: They argue that legal challenges and court cases brought forward by the Trump campaign and others were not given proper consideration or were dismissed prematurely, preventing a full investigation into alleged irregularities.
- Bias in Media and Tech Companies: Some proponents of the stolen election theory argue that mainstream media and tech companies played a role in suppressing information and censoring viewpoints that questioned the integrity of the election, thereby influencing public opinion.
- Concerns About Mail-In Voting: There are concerns raised about the expansion of mail-in voting, with some arguing that it increased the potential for fraud due to issues such as lack of signature verification, chain of custody problems, and ballots being sent to outdated voter rolls.
- Statistical Anomalies: Proponents of the stolen election theory often point to statistical anomalies in the voting data, such as unusual patterns in voter turnout or vote distribution, which they argue are indicative of fraud or manipulation.
- Assertions of Partisan Bias: Some argue that election officials, particularly in Democrat-controlled areas, were biased against Donald Trump and in favor of Joe Biden, leading to unfair treatment and manipulation of the results.
