quote:
BIDEN:
81,000,000 votes (supposedly)
477 counties carried

TRUMP:
75,000,000 votes
2,497 counties carried

For comparison (2016)
OBAMA:
69,000,000 votes
873 counties carried

I am not Albert Einstein, but that shite don't add up!

TRUMP carried 84% of all counties in the USA, and lost.

First, it helps to know 50% of the countries population is in just 143 counties once you grasp that it begins to make more sense.

What a lot of people are overlooking is how Biden overperformed Hillary (who got nearly the exact same number of votes as Obama in 2016) in most of the deep-red areas. So to make the suggestion the popular vote was way out of whack you would have to assume counters in deep-red counties were taking votes from Trump and giving them to Biden.

Here is a link to an interactive map that you can compare votes for 2016 to 2020 by county. Poke around in there and see how few red counties Biden did not get more votes than Hillary and how many of them he actually got an increased percentage as well.

RGJ Map

The other day I looked at 10 red counties generally at random except avoiding more than one in any state, of the 10 Biden got more votes than Hillary in all of them, I will list them here but also looked at 30 more and found a decrease against Hillary in only two.

County State Hillary vote Biden Vote

Elkworth KS 515 646
Unitah UT 1002 1663
Buffalo NE 4690 6350
Potter TX 7620 9921
Obion TN 2425 2598
Pettis MO 4322 4783
Randolph WV 2724 3362
Charles Mix Sd 935 1177
Harney OR 682 894
Calhoun AL 13197 15216

In those 10 deep red counties, Biden increased his votes 22% over Hillary. Hillary got 65,853,514 so an increase of 22% would be 80,341,287 votes. That is pretty close to what Biden got in 2020.

The more you dig the more the numbers make sense, if you look at Tweets alone you miss part of the picture. Poke around the site I listed and do some math and you will see a better picture.

Again just 143 counties have over half the US population, the information you provided (albeit wrong on the number of counties Biden won, it was just over 500) while being accurate leads people to make an inference that a fuller look at the facts doesn't support.

The vote increase can be related to the fact you had a month to vote and a lot of new voters entered with the get out the vote stuff. Plus, Biden was a better candidate than Hillary from a personality perspective.

Fraud was a concern because of how shady everything seemed. Fox calls Arizona early and swing states stop counting votes at the same time. Plus all the President only ballots, plus we were told this would take weeks to count all the votes. The system allows people to vote multiple times because we saw examples.

All Americans need to trust a secure and fair election. You need some validation that every voter gets 1 vote and you can 100% validate every voter is legal. It is one thing that will help unite the country but it will not happen

I forgot to add I made connected the two images from Wiki to easily compare 2016 to 2018 for the post I made on the election board that is now gone.

If you look at it Biden got a larger percentage of the vote in ALL 50 states and DC compared to Hillary. Biden's votes didn't come miraculously from blue states, states with high mail in ballots or states that used Dominion. Biden's votes came from all the states. The EV vote pivoted in ~40k and the discussion becomes much more granular but I think it is easy to see Biden's ~23% increase in popular vote came from all over the country and not from just areas in question.
