Defending Truth and Tradition in the Roman Catholic Church |
I’m amazed that people don’t understand the dynamics of how voting went during the election.
1) Trump demonized mail-in voting in addition to minimizing the dangers of the pandemic – and so a large majority of republicans voted “in-person” on election day.
2) Biden and the Democratic party encouraged mail-in votes as an easier way to vote (relative to travel, long lines, etc) and as a way to avoid any dangers from the pandemic – and so large percent of democratic voters used mail-in ballots.
3) A number of Republican states (like Wisconson) passed legislation which wouldn’t allow for counting mail-in votes before election day.
4) So the result was that “in-person” votes on election day were counted first, and since that was the way most republicans voted – it was no surpize to see Trump jump out to an early and big lead.
5) Then afterwards, as the primarily democratic mail-in votes were counted – that lead naturally evaporated in a number of states.
If mail-in votes had been counted as they were received before election day, the opposite trend would have happened – with Biden taking a big early lead and having to hold have a Trump surge on election day.
So there is absolutely no mystery as to why the results changed after in-person voting was done.
