Weird Voting in Wisconsin

Vincent J. Curtis

6 Dec 20

Trump won Wisconsin in 2016.  It was the first section of the “blue-wall” to collapse.  Its collapse marked the doom of the Hillary Clinton campaign.  Wisconsin is historically a Democrat state, but Republicans have broken through here and there over the last ten years, particularly with the success of Scott Walker as governor.  Given Trump’s “America First” policy and his support of the American worker, one would expect Trump to hold the state against a liberal onslaught from the university town of Madison.  He campaigned there, and Joe Biden did not.  The destruction of Kenosha shocked everyone, and ought to have hardened hearts against those who supported the destruction and the anarchy.  You know, the people around Joe Biden.

However, that’s not how things apparently turned out.  In 2016, Trump got 1,405,284 votes while Hillary Clinton got only 1,382,536.  Trump’s margin of 23,000 ought to be secure if he increased his vote total by another 205,000 votes.  You’d think.  However, despite Trump getting 1,610,184 votes in Wisconsin in 2020, Joe Biden managed to get 1,630,866, a margin of victory of 21,000 votes and a swing of 44,000 votes.  The total increase of votes between Trump and his Democrat rivals was 452,000, an increase of 10 percent between 2016 and 2020.  The question arises, where did these votes come from?

Given the demographics of the state, Biden’s vote could only come from a few metropolitan areas.  Could Madison produce 248,000 more votes for Biden than it did for Hillary in 2016?  That’s what we’re supposed to believe.

I get that Trump can cause as much an adverse reaction as he does a positive one, but we are supposed to believe that love for Trump produced 205,000 more votes in Wisconsin, but the adverse reaction produced 248,000 more than in 2016.

Wisconsin’s returns cry out for an audit and a criminal investigation.  The state used mail-in balloting, which is an open invitation to fraud without strict controls, which weren’t followed.  At least the Democrats in Wisconsin weren’t as obscene in their fraud as that in Nevada, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Maine.
