Nearly a year has passed since the 2020 election, yet there has not been a clear, satisfactory answer to the central mystery: How did a dull,
declining Joe Biden manage to get more than 81 million votes and win the presidency?
After all, Biden spent most of the pandemic-laced campaign in his Delaware basement and his appearances were marked by sparse crowds and signs he had
lost more than a step. Yet he flipped five states Hillary Clinton lost in
2016, including Georgia and Arizona, and racked up 306 electoral votes to Donald Trump’s 232.
Trump offers his own answer, of course, declaring incessantly that the
election was stolen. His efforts to get then-Vice President Mike Pence to
block certification of results and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot have made his arguments out of bounds for most Americans.
Numerous courts rejected claims made by Trump lawyers involving
manipulation of voting machines, bags of secret ballots emerging and other kinds of alleged fraud.
But rejecting Trump’s claims is one thing, solving the riddle of Biden’s triumph is another. Lacking any other explanation, two-thirds of
Republicans still believe “the election was rigged and stolen from Trump,” while only 18 percent believe “Joe Biden won fair and square,” according
to a recent Yahoo News/YouGov survey. It found that 28 percent of
independent voters agree Biden’s victory is illegitimate.
Such wide suspicions are corrosive, which makes the findings of a new book
all the more important.
In “Rigged,” author Mollie Hemingway lays out what amounts to a
fascinating alternative to the “stolen” charge. She presents a strong case
that the $419 million that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg ostensibly
spent to get out the vote was actually used by Democrat activists to
infiltrate local election operations and take over jobs government workers
were supposed to do.
Hemingway, a senior editor at The Federalist and a Fox commentator, shows
how two Zuckerberg nonprofits used their unprecedented deep pockets to
line up left-wing groups in key cities that in turn hired poll workers, collected absentee ballots and cured those with errors.
In Green Bay, Wis., the Democratic mayor outsourced the planning and
managing of the election to these activists. Hemingway cites an e-mail
from the mayor’s chief of staff saying, “I am taking all of my cues” from
one of the Zuckerberg groups.
The city clerk, nominally in charge of the election, was reportedly
unhappy with the changes, went on leave shortly before election day and
soon resigned.
As Hemingway puts it in excerpts published by The Post, “It was a genius
plan. And because no one ever imagined that a coordinated operation could
pull off the privatization of the election system, no laws were built to
combat it.”
Texas researcher William Doyle crunched the numbers showing how the
nonprofits concentrated in areas Biden won, often spending three or four
times as much money per voter as they spent in districts Trump won.
“The 2020 election wasn’t stolen,” Doyle concluded. “It was likely bought
by one of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful men pouring his money through legal loopholes.”
He also tracks the Zuckerberg groups’ promotion of universal mail-in
voting, the push for unlocked and unwatched drop boxes and extended
deadlines.
The pandemic played a major role in many ways, with health fears leading
most states to loosen safeguards. But in swing states, left-wing groups outraged by Trump’s 2016 upset of Clinton started plotting early for 2020
and were able to piggyback on the pandemic fears to go even further.
In Pennsylvania, activists had done an end-run around the sleepy
Republican Legislature by suing to eliminate protections and getting a Democratic governor to sign a consent decree. A Democratic-heavy state
Supreme Court approved it.
In Georgia, a Republican governor signed a consent decree on signatures
pushed by Democratic activist Stacey Abrams.
The US Supreme Court made noises about the Constitution’s delegation of
power on state elections to legislatures, but never made a major ruling.
Coming on top of how Zuckerberg’s Facebook suppressed The Post’s report on Hunter Biden, Hemingway’s book deserves wide attention, especially from
Trump and the GOP.
Although her findings do not mean there was no voter fraud, she offers a
more substantive and documented explanation than the “stolen” argument,
which remains a political dead-end outside of Trump’s core Republican
base.
Party leaders hoping to take back Congress in next year’s midterms would
do well to understand the details of how Dems pulled off swing-state
victories for Biden.
In some ways, the breakthrough recalls the big leaps in the use of
technology Barack Obama’s campaign featured in 2008. In both cases, the
intense collection of granular data, combined with armies of young people
using it, won the day by turning out targeted voters.
As Hemingway notes, the 2020 effort also broke new ground in having
activists replace government workers for election jobs, which made the use
of data more efficient. One measure is that the 159 million votes cast represent nearly 67 percent of the eligible population, making the turnout percentage the highest in 120 years, according to the Council on Foreign Relations.
Although Trump doesn’t have trouble raising money, his campaigns did not feature strong ground games. Both of his races were built around his personality and rallies, which drew enormous crowds. He won more than 74 million votes last year, an increase of 10 million over his 2016 tally,
and he sounds very much like a 2024 candidate.
But Biden’s victory exposed the limits of his approach, and now we have a
good picture of how Dems did it.
Tellingly, Republicans are furious at what Hemingway uncovered and promise investigations and legislation.
All well and good, but chances they will succeed before the midterms are
almost nil. For example, the GOP-led Legislature in Wisconsin passed a
bill banning private funding of state operations, but the Democratic
governor vetoed it.
So until further notice, Zuck’s Bucks remain the coin of the political
realm.
Adams stands with parents
Eric Adams has again proved he will not be the second coming of Mayor
Putz.
A Democrat likely to be elected next month, Adams broke with incumbent
Bill de Blasio Friday when he said he would not scrap Gifted and Talented programs.
Asked on CNN whether he would eliminate them, as de Blasio urges, Adams replied, “No, I would not, I would expand the opportunities for
accelerated learning.”
That’s music to the ears of tens of thousands of parents who keep their children in public schools because of those programs. It’s also the right answer because children with above-average abilities deserve special
attention, just as do children who are below average or have disabilities.
Feds’ hush on Hunter
Reader Mary Don asks poignant questions about the probe of Hunter Biden, writing: “What reason did the FBI give for its subpoena for the laptop?
What justification can it claim for silence now, after the validation of
the laptop’s contents?”

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
