It is clear that fewer of these “newest” voters, those just turning 18, in 2023-24, voted for Kamala Harris than we would have guessed, given Joe Biden’s strong win — in that age co-hort, in 2020.
[But the math is then pretty simple: if Mr. Biden won say 80 per cent or so, of the newest voters (recent 18 year olds), from the prior four years, in 2020 (and he did!) — that would be… yep about 15 million added votes, overall. Exactly the number that John claims evinces… fraud. What a putz.]
And it seems likely that some of them didn’t turn out to vote, at all, this time. [It seems clear that at least some of the younger voters were not as adamant about voting for Kamala as we expected.]
But for John Hinderaker to tonight churlishly extrapolate “massive fraud” on the part of the Democratic Party — in the 2020 cycle — solely from historically high turnouts (for both parties!)… is simply bonkers. It is insane; and it has been refuted in federal courts for four long years, now — by competent evidence. Damn.
The reality is that many many people deeply loathed Trumpian policies by 2020 — and they also personally hated Trump, by then — based on four years of hateful chaos. They were — in sum — very very motivated to vote (and vote against Trump). Moreover, my theory is that by 2024, too many people had too soon forgotten how bad he was, and so fewer turned out for Kamala in 2024, proportionately. Then, added to that idea is the one that a good six million new voters were mostly too young to really follow what Trumpism was doing to America, in 2016-20.
That very succinctly explains the chart John shows, tonight — without the need for some convoluted, tin-foil hat 2020 conspiracy against GOP voters, by Democratic Party operatives. No fewer than 60 separate courts found no evidence of Hinderaker’s, or Trump’s or Rudy’s imagined pervasive fraud story / lie from 2020.
But we see John once again tonight, licking the felon’s boots — because. he. must.
