Donald Trump's belief that he lost the 2020 election due to voter fraud is a lost cause, as the United States has 50 un-united states in terms of ballot handling. The system is complex, convoluted, confused, and often corrupt, especially in big cities dominated by Democrat political machines. Corruption runs deep in elections, especially in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where the city was founded in 1776.
In 2020, Trump and his supporters suspected fraud in Pennsylvania and elsewhere, but it seemed mathematically insurmountable. The massive lead by Trump on November 3, 2020, seemed mathematically insurmountable, but it slowly vanished as an untold number of mail-in ballots flowed in with no end in sight. CNN initially speculated that there were 1.6 million mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania, which eventually increased until Joe Biden passed Donald Trump. Today, Cliff Maloney, a Republican strategist dedicated in 2024 to rounding up mail-in ballots for the Pennsylvania GOP, said that in 2020, Trump won Election Day voting by 1.3 million votes but lost mail-in ballots by an "astonishing" 1.4 million, with Biden winning the state by 80,000 votes.
Trump and his advocates suspected fraud in Pennsylvania and elsewhere, even as he could never prove it. The mail-in balloting nationwide was a disaster, and predictably so. Many countries, including the European Union, ban mail-in ballots. The Carter-Baker Commission concluded in 2005 that absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.
Imagine President Trump's shock at discovering that he had increased mail-in ballots by an "astonishing" 1.4 million votes in 2020. The best way to reverse a loss is not by charging fraud but by regrouping and winning outright four years later.
