It makes sense.

The turnout was much higher so there is no conflict in Trump adding to this total but Biden added more.
Remember more people voted against Trump last time as well but this time the Democrats won the Electoral College and last time they didn't.
Turnout was 66.9% this time, 55.5% last time. This is the biggest turnout since 1900.

The Popular Vote last time was:

Clinton: 48.2%
Trump: 46.1%

This time (so far) it's:

Biden: 50.5%
Trump: 47.7%

Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 and he's lost by a bigger margin in 2020. He's encouraged people who don't bother to vote to do so, so give him credit there.

That data is consistent with both stories. That is what I am saying.

What wouldn't be consistent though is why didn't the Democrats rig the down-ballot races as well? They're not going to get the Senate and lost seats in the House. You would at least think they would rig it so they capture the Senate

And if the story's are correct some of those voters got to do it multiple times via the postal ballot system , it was a good year for dead people voting according to trumps lawyer. it really is the greatest country in the world if you get a vote after being dead for several years.

Because then they would be directly opposing senators and there would be further retaliation from the republicans.

Yet there is not a shred of evidence that a dead persons vote has been counted nor that multiple votes were either.

Think you've taken a trip to conspiracy/qanon city. Trump lost, even Boris admits it. His grovelling congratulatory tweet won't get him a trade deal I'm afraid.

Mick's very quiet lately... Probably getting some well earned kip ;)

You would assume the conspiracy to rig the election would be designed to not be caught. Besides if you have the Senate how can they retaliate?

As I said if there is evidence they should turn up with it in court but Trump doesn't get to make it a serious prospect just by saying it without providing evidence.

Wait for the investigations and see what evidence is found.
