Presidential Election Outcome: Remaining Voter Count Stands at 6 in Favor of Joe Biden
The Lo-Down on Almaty.tv
Almaty.tv's latest scoop, based on mk.ru reports, suggests Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden is closing in on the U.S. presidency, with just six electoral votes left to snag. The swing states Michigan and Wisconsin have sewn up 264 electoral votes for Biden, while Trump collects 214. A win in another state puts Biden in the White House.
Earlier reports circulated claims of dead folks casting ballots in the U.S. presidential election.
Now, let's get our facts straight. Claims of dead people voting in U.S. elections have popped up like whack-a-moles, but nothing substantial supports the idea that it happens on a mass scale and alters the election outcomes. Here's a gist of what you need to know:
- Dusty Voter Rolls: Y'know how you've got that cousin Chad who passed away five years ago, still listed on your family tree? Think of deceased folks on the voter rolls as distant relatives you ain't bothered to remove. Studies show that outdated voter rolls have deceased individuals registered, but that's more about sluggish database updates than actual fraud[1].
- Investigations, No Action: Recall the Arizona Attorney General investigating 282 phantom votes by dead people? Well, they found one verified case[1]. Michigan fared similar, identifying two dead voters from 200 suspected cases[1]. Rare as hen's teeth, huh?
- Impact on Presidential Election Results: Despite the hype, there's no credible evidence linking instances of dead people voting to U.S. presidential election outcomes. Most voter fraud allegations aren't centered on deceased individuals or absentee ballot fraud[2].
- Recent Development: Despite the absence of evidence, there've been attempts to tighten voter registration and ID laws—often based on unfounded claims of voter fraud[3].
Bottom line, isolated incidents of deceased individuals' names remaining on voter rolls or rare instances of voting in their names might happen, but there's no evidence they've significantly influenced presidential election results.
Policy-and-legislation surrounding voter registration and ID laws have been questions in Washington, as concerns about voter fraud persist despite limited evidence. The recent development comes as some politicians propose tighter regulations based on claims that dead people might be voting, a subject that has been widely debated in general-news circles.
