The Heartland Institute claimed fraudulent mail-in votes swung the presidential election for Democrat Joe Biden.
Mail-in ballot fraud “significantly” impacted the 2020 US presidential election, handing President Joe Biden his victory, according to a study published by conservative think tank the Heartland Institute on Friday.
“Had the 2020 election been conducted like every national election has been over the past two centuries, wherein the vast majority of voters cast ballots in-person rather than by mail, Donald Trump would have almost certainly been re-elected,” the report stated, citing survey data collected in December.
As many as 28.2% of mail-in voters potentially committed some form of fraud, acting in ways that were “under most circumstances, illegal,” the institute’s data suggested.
With over 43% of 2020’s votes cast by mail – the highest percentage in US history – this alleged fraud “significantly” impacted the election results.
The group’s December survey of 1085 likely voters found that about one in five mail-in voters may have acted fraudulently. Over a fifth (21%) of respondents admitted to filling out ballots for others or voting in a state where they were no longer a permanent resident, while 17% said they signed ballots for family members without their approval. Another 19% said a friend or family member had filled out their own ballot.
After subjecting the data to further statistical analysis, however, Heartland upped the percentage of potentially fraudulent mail-in ballots to 28.2%, adding that mail-in voters disproportionately favored Biden, further skewing the results.
Even if the percentage of fraudulent mail-in ballots was as low as 3%,Trump would have won, the think tank, which is known for opposing government regulation, argued, laying out 29 different scenarios with varying degrees of fraud to bolster its case that the Republican incumbent would have triumphed in the absence of fraudulent ballots.
The report urged lawmakers to crack down on mail-in voter fraud by requiring in-person voting or, in cases where that was impossible, requiring mail-in vote signatures be notarized or otherwise authenticated by a trusted third party.
“If state lawmakers fail to solve this problem, Americans’ confidence in the legitimacy of elections in 2024 and beyond will likely decrease, paving the way for chaos and civil unrest,” the report stated.
Mail-in voting, previously restricted to a small segment of the US population, was opened up to all during the 2020 presidential election due to the Covid-19 pandemic, despite bipartisan concerns about the potential for voter fraud.
While the Department of Homeland Security insisted the 2020 election was “the most secure in American history,” Trump and many of his supporters blamed voter fraud for his loss. Thousands descended on Washington DC on January 6, 2021 to protest the certification of Biden’s victory in the Electoral College. Clashes between Capitol police and protesters attempting to enter the Capitol building subsequently triggered the infamous riot for which thousands – including the former president – have been charged.

Something of an open secret, this one.
Voter fraud has consequences. The Dems know that they haven’t the numbers and that is the sole reason basement Biden opened the border to illegals. The Dems are prepared to trash the country rather than lose control.
You don’t say.
Trump had a large following. The map shows election by states.
By COUNTY, the US is nearly solid red.
Trump won 2,497 counties
Biden won 477 counties.
Like the Heartland Institute’s grossly anti-science take on global heating this report, based on a simplistic analysis of an earlier Heartland survey, is as unscientific as one can get.
Over sixty court cases brought by Trump and his legal teams in many US states failed to find any extensive fraud in the 2020 election.
Trump’s attorney general, Bill Barr, advised that the voting was not skewed by fraud.
Trump’s close Whie House advisers tried to convince him that the election had not been “stolen”.
However, that will never sway the sycophantic hoard that wants him back as POTUS 47.
‘Global heating’?? Ok…
1) Over sixty court cases brought by Trump and his legal teams were IGNORED or DISMISSED by the courts before any of the mountains of evidence (and they are MOUNTAINS) had even been allowed to be presented. Up to and including the Supreme Court.
2) Bill Barr was a Bush-era Washington insider who stabbed Trump in the back (like many other DC parasites at the time, including all those “close advisors who advised him right out of the White House). Does this make sense to you, or are you one of those special souls who believe politicians are good and trustworthy people?
3) The Jan 6 capitol “attack” was a contrived and orchestrated false flag conducted by intelligence personnel and the US mainstream media as evidenced by the Twitter files and the thousands of hours of video footage that was almost lost to history before Elon Musk purchased X.
4) All 91 of the phony baloney kangaroo court charges being levelled at Trump are having the OPPOSITE of the intended effect, only making him more and more popular with American voters, while we all watch ACTUAL documented war criminals like the Obama’s, the Clinton’s and the Biden’s keep being excused for their crimes (most recently Biden’s classified docs fiasco wherein he’s apparently too old to be charged, but not too old to be president).
5) All of Washington, including many democrats, can already see the writing on the wall and are starting to flee the sinking ship like rats. Some actors and celebraties are changing their previous stance after seeing what 4 years of Biden/Obama2 have done to America. Hell, even CNN have been critical of the creepy grandpa of late. This little MSM narrative of Trump being the “doomed” provocateur mastermind of a deadly insurrection is the real fake news here friend, THAT’S why the polling never matches up to the propaganda.
Now go ahead and call me a sycophant or an iDioT (or some variation thereof), I don’t mind. Make it as obnoxious as possible, please.
Don’t need to argue with you when I can just wait until November 🤷🏼♂️
In the three years after the Trump inspired attack of the Capitol more than 1,230 people have been charged with federal crimes in the riot, ranging from misdemeanour offenses like trespassing to felonies like assaulting police officers and seditious conspiracy.
Roughly 730 people have pleaded guilty to charges, while another roughly 170 have been convicted of at least one charge at a trial decided by a judge or a jury. Note trial by a jury.
Only two defendants have been acquitted of all charges, and those were trials decided by a judge rather than a jury.
Trump is an evil b***** who, if he becomes US president 47, will not only destroy what is left of US democracy but put the whole world at risk.
One of the biggest remaining mysteries surrounding the riot is the identity of the person who placed two pipe bombs outside the offices of the Republican and Democratic national committees the day before the Capitol attack.

and be very worried.
You haven’t got a clue in your manstream media bubble. There are hundreds of videos showing federal agents planted among the crowd imstigating the violence, hundreds of videos of goverment agents admitting they caused the violence and tens of thousands of hours of footage backing it up showing the so called riot was a complete set up by the feds. Dont comment on things you know nothing about
They still dont know who planted the two pipe bombs?? Give me a break!! How stupid do you have to be? The most secure piece of land in the united states with security and cctv everywhere and no one knows? Are you really that stupid? They DO KNOW, because its the feds who did it and they are covering it up!! Have you even watched the full footage released?? And i dont mean reading fake mainstream news reports about it, but have you actually watched it?? It shows the whole thing was a set up
Bruh 😏
