… Georgia’s absentee ballot rejection rate was more than ten times lower than previous levels, because the criteria was [sic] so off, forty-eight counties in Georgia, with thousands and thousands of votes, rejected zero ballots. There wasn’t one ballot. In other words, in a year in which more mail-in ballots were sent than ever before, and more people were voting by mail for the first time, the rejection rate was drastically lower than it had ever been before. The only way this can be explained is if tens of thousands of illegitimate votes were added to the tally; that’s the only way you could explain it. By the way, you’re talking about tens of thousands. If Georgia had merely rejected the same number of unlawful ballots as in other years, there should have been approximately forty-five thousand ballots rejected, far more than what we needed to win, just over eleven thousand.

The president likened the U.S. election to one where despots in authoritarian regimes supplanted the rightful vote and replaced it with fake ballots in order to stay in power. Among the fallacies here, beyond the math, the logic, and the conspiracists’ view of an ever-plotting bureaucracy working together to pull off a mind-bogglingly complex plot, is that he was the incumbent. But somehow more powerful forces outside of the White House were conspiring to oust him.

Tens of thousands of votes, as that coincided with a mysterious vote dump of up to a hundred thousand votes for Joe Biden, almost none for Trump … Over ten thousand, three hundred ballots in Georgia were cast by individuals whose names and dates of birth match Georgia residents who died in 2020 and prior to the election … At least eighty-eight thousand ballots in Georgia were cast by people whose registrations were illegally backdated … sixty-six thousand votes in Georgia were cast by individuals under the legal voting age. And at least fifteen thousand ballots were cast by individuals who moved out of the state prior to November third election … In the state of Arizona, over thirty-six thousand ballots were illegally cast by noncitizens … one hundred fifty thousand people registered in Mayacopa [sic] County after the registration deadline. One hundred three thousand ballots in the county were sent for electronic adjudication with no Republican observers … There were also more than forty-two thousand double votes in Nevada … More than seventeen thousand Michigan ballots were cast by individuals whose names and dates of birth matched people who were deceased … At six thirty-one a.m., in the early morning hours after voting had ended, Michigan suddenly reported one hundred forty-seven thousand votes. An astounding ninety-four percent went to Joe Biden, who campaigned brilliantly from his basement.

And it went on, seemingly inexhaustibly. Until, at one hour and thirteen minutes, he finished: “So let’s walk down Pennsylvania Avenue…”
