WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ELECTION OF 2024?
Greg Palast on YouTube redefined the new understanding of voter fraud that Trump and MAGA Republicans embraced. How did voter fraud become legal? Watch the video. A short synopsis is that two ordinary, everyday citizens challenged the registrations of people of color and Black voters in swing states. The numbers reveal people being removed from voter rolls which shows up statistically as declining voter population. Functionaries of the Republican Party "True the Vote,"it is legal in some states to willy nilly challenge voters registered to vote. How does this impact elections? This shows up in declining voting populations.

What the numbers actually say about the 2024 election (Washington Post November 12th)
These tendencies are heightened at the moment by President-elect Donald Trump’s preference for the hyperbolic, a tendency that has permeated the political right. So his 2024 win is not a referendum on inflation. It is, instead, a landslide, a sweeping mandate for Trump himself. A dramatic shift in the electorate itself. Etc.
It isn’t, though. A review of the preliminary voting data, using The Washington Post’s Post Pulse models of the outstanding vote, shows that Trump’s victory was modest, as was the likely realignment in the electorate. The story of the 2024 election may turn out to be the changes in who didn’t vote rather than those who did.
It is likely that, when all of the votes are counted, Trump will have received about half of the votes cast, beating Vice President Kamala Harris by about a percentage point. As a function of the two-party vote, Trump’s popular vote victory — his first — will probably be the smallest since Al Gore received more votes than George W. Bush in 2000.
His win is less because of the votes he gained since 2020 (probably about 2.9 million, once all the votes are in) than those Harris lost relative to Joe Biden’s 2020 total (probably a drop of about 5.7 million). Total turnout is likely to be down by several million votes, probably somewhere in the range of what Trump gained.
As of writing, the drop in turnout is far larger. That’s because several populous states have votes outstanding, most notably California, where millions of votes remain to be counted. There are, we estimate, hundreds of thousands left to count in New York, New Jersey and Washington, too, as well as smaller totals in a host of other states.
Declines in turnout will probably be seen in about twice as many states as saw increases. But while most non-swing states probably saw drops in turnout, it is likely to be the case that most of the seven swing states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — will have seen increases in vote totals. It’s another indication that the Harris campaign’s intense focus on those states provided a boost to her candidacy, albeit a fruitless one. (Last week, we noted that the shift in the presidential vote margin in the swing states was smaller than other states, which suggests the same thing.)
You can see below how the vote totals for Trump and for Harris compare with the major-party candidates’ support in 2020. Every state saw Trump fare better than Harris, either by losing fewer votes or gaining more. (This is illustrated by no state being to the right of the diagonal dotted line.) In Georgia, North Carolina and Wisconsin, candidates gained votes relative to their party’s 2020 vote total.
It is not surprising that the biggest shifts since 2020 were in the most populous states since, well, there are more people there. But it is also the case that the biggest shifts in vote margin have occurred in heavily urban areas, a shift that is correlated in part to the gains Trump saw among non-White voters. The morning after the election, we looked at this pattern, including sharing charts showing how race and population density were linked to the shift in margin.
As more data have come in, it’s clear that part of what happened is that vote totals dropped in more-heavily Black counties relative to 2020. On the chart below, you can see that non-swing-state counties generally had lower turnout relative to 2020. But as the density of the Black population increases in counties, those counties are more likely to have seen lower turnout than they saw in 2020 (indicated by circles falling below the horizontal line).
Harris also probably got about the same number of votes from White people but fewer from Black and Latino voters than Biden did. Trump gained votes from White and Hispanic voters but, as we noted last week, probably not from Black voters. Harris and Trump both gained votes from the wealthiest Americans and both lost votes from those with the lowest incomes — a group that is more heavily non-White.
None of this answers every question about the race. We’ll need to wait for more data (and more thorough assessments of the electorate) before we can fully understand what happened in the 2024 presidential contest.
What we can say, though, is that this was not an electoral landslide, but a narrowly contested race in which Trump is likely to have benefited as much from who didn’t turn out to vote for his candidacy as who did turn out to vote for him.
In other words, if you remove/purge voters from the rolls, this statistically shows as fewer people voting. Then voter fraud becomes a question of HOW VOTES ARE CANCELED VIA REMOVAL, SKEWING THE RESULTS.
