I will begin with saying that the fact that the Democrats and their media enablers demanding that everyone state the election was fair and without corruption is a red flag.
No, the 'red flag' was Trump, declaring at numerous rallies, LONG BEFORE THE FIRST BALLOT WAS EVER CAST, that 'the only way Democrats can win is if they rig the election',
thereby priming the conspiracy theory pump he would later invoke when he lost.
Here is why I doubt the election results. But most importantly, why any election using mail in ballots should be met with skepticism.
Using the numbers as of today, which are materially similar to Binney’s, we find a huge issue. If we have 213.8 million registered voters in the US and 66.2% of all voters voted in the 2020 election, that equals 141.5 million voters who voted in the 2020 election (Binney shows 140 million which is materially the same).

The gatewaypundit has achieved something no other website has achieved, virtually ALL of it's articles fail factchecks. It is the worst website on the internet, for information. But, I'm not quick to use the 'kill-the-messenger' counter argument, and I will actually debunk your claim rather than rely totally on a KTM, though that website deserves it:
Oh, the audacity of trying to warp basic arithmetic to sow doubt about the 2020 election! It's as if some folks are stuck in a perpetual state of denial, clutching at straws to spin a tale of fraud where none exists. Let's tear this nonsense apart, shall we?
First, let's talk about those voter numbers—213.8 million registered voters. Sure, that’s within the ballpark. But then you throw out this figure, 66.2% voter turnout, as if it’s the holy grail of election data. And you try to magically transform this into exactly 141.5 million votes. Here’s the problem: you’re playing fast and loose with numbers.
Voter turnout percentage is based on
eligible voters, not just registered voters. The 66.2% turnout rate you're quoting comes from an estimated eligible voter population of around 239 million people, not the 213.8 million registered voters. When you account for this, the number of actual voters in 2020 makes perfect sense—over 158 million ballots were cast, matching up with the highest voter turnout in over a century.
But instead of acknowledging this, you conjure up this bogus comparison with a turnout number divorced from reality. If you’re going to doubt the election, at least get your facts straight.
Based on data from NBC, Biden got 81,283,098 votes and Trump got 74,222,958 votes. Other votes totaled 2,926,539. That sums to 158,432,595 votes. How is that even remotely possible?
I find it very difficult to believe that an incompetent, unaccomplished, senile 79 year old racist could win with 80 million votes, bettering Obama by 15,367,303 votes. A guy who could barely fill a thimble of supporters at rallies and rarely came out of the basement or remember what office he was actually running for.
I find it very difficult to believe that Trump, garnering 74,222,958 votes, which beat a much more popular Obama by 8.307,163 votes and who had massive, enthusiastic crowds at his events, could lose an election by 7,060,140 votes.
I find it difficult to believe that Trump, who bettered his 2016 election WIN by 11,237,852 votes and would still lose.
I find it difficult to believe that a election turnout for Obama was 57.1% and 9.2% lower than this election at 66.3%. That's the highest turnout for a boring candidate in the history of the Republic.
Turnout increased in every state and in 98 percent of the nation’s counties.

I find it difficult to believe that Republicans INCREASED their House presence by 13 seats, yet Trump lost by such a large margin to an incompetent, unaccomplished, senile 79 year old racist.
Ah, yes, the old song and dance of disbelief, wrapped in a cloak of selective outrage and arithmetic acrobatics. It’s almost as if some people believe that by repeating their disbelief enough times, they can conjure up a different reality. So let’s dissect this mountain of doubt, piece by piece, and expose it for what it truly is—pure, unadulterated fiction.
First, the incredulity over Biden’s 81 million votes. Let’s address the elephant in the room: voter turnout was at a historic high in 2020. The pandemic, mail-in voting expansion, and an electorate more polarized than ever contributed to a turnout that blew past previous records. This isn’t some conspiracy—this is the result of democracy in action. Comparing Biden’s numbers to Obama’s in 2008 is like comparing apples to oranges. Different elections, different circumstances, and—guess what—different candidates.
Now, on to Trump’s numbers. Yes, Trump did receive over 74 million votes, which is a significant increase from 2016. But guess what? The electorate didn’t shrink in the last four years—more people registered, more people voted, and more people decided that they’d had enough of Trump’s antics. Enthusiastic crowds at rallies don’t translate to votes—those are optics, not ballots. The idea that rally size should correlate directly to electoral victory is as absurd as thinking that likes on a tweet determine the next president.
Let’s not forget the claim about Obama’s turnout in 2008. Sure, Obama’s election had a 57.1% turnout, but comparing that to 2020 is disingenuous at best. The nation was gripped by the most divisive election in modern history, with a sitting president whose behavior was a constant source of controversy, and a pandemic that made voting by mail more accessible than ever.
This wasn't just about Biden—it was about a referendum on Trump. Biden won because many voted, not for Biden, but against Trump. I know I did.
Finally, the insinuation that turnout increased in every state and nearly every county as if that’s somehow suspicious. No, that’s called democracy. When people are motivated, whether by passion or outrage, they turn out to vote. That’s how elections work, not by some bizarre calculus where only the candidate you support is allowed to win.
So yes, Biden won with 81 million votes. Trump lost despite his 74 million. And the sooner we accept the facts, the sooner we can move forward as a country, instead of indulging in these fact-free fantasies that only serve to undermine the very democracy we claim to cherish.
