A new deep dive into discrepancies in the ballot counts of six key battleground states in the 2020 election has turned up more than 250,000 “excess votes” for President Joe Biden, and maybe far more.
The key point in the upcoming peer-reviewed study for the journal Public Choice by economist and noted gun expert John Lott Jr. is that the excess voting may challenge — or explain — Biden’s margin of victory over former President Donald Trump in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
In his report, on the Public Choice website but still awaiting final approval, Lott said that there were 255,000 excess votes and possibly as many as 368,000 for Biden in the key states.
And in a review of his statistical study he provided to RealClearPolitics, he said that “Biden only carried these states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — by a total of 313,253 votes. Excluding Michigan, the gap was 159,065."
Lott, who runs the Crime Prevention Research Center, said that his report was not meant to overturn the 2020 election but to reinforce the need for changes to voter identification, absentee voting, and provisional ballots.
“The point of this work isn’t to contest the 2020 election, but to point out that we have a real problem that needs to be dealt with. Americans must have confidence in future elections,” he wrote.
In the study, Lott reviewed voter registration rolls, actual in-person vote counts, absentee voting, and provisional ballots in counties where fraud has been alleged or suggested. He compared those counts to neighboring counties, arguing that the percentages should be similar.
What he found were major differences, raising questions of fraud.
He found unexplained votes, vast differences in absentee voting, and other problems such as bloated voter lists and felons illegally voting.
“In Fulton County, Georgia, 2,423 voters were not listed on the state’s records as registered, and 2,560 felons voted even though they had not completed their sentences,” Lott said in the report.
He concluded, “The voter turnout rate data provide stronger evidence of significant excess Biden votes in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The estimates imply that the counties wherein vote fraud was alleged returned between 142,000 and 368,000 excess Biden votes. While the findings reported here are dramatic, they may be underestimates because the voter turnout estimates do not account for ballots cast for the opposing candidate that are lost, destroyed, or replaced with ballots filled out for the other candidate. While it would involve a lot more work, it would be possible to apply the precinct level tests to compare turnout rates in adjacent precincts across all the counties where fraud was alleged."
The findings are likely to continue fueling questions raised by Trump supporters and the former president himself that an election they saw going their way on election night turned against them after midnight.
First of all, tell us WHO has standing to bring a suit on these facts? Anyone? Maybe a court can tell us.
“2,560 felons voted even though they had not completed their sentences”
So somebody smuggled ballots into the jailhouse or prison?
Do the felons know they voted. Some Commie hack may have registered/requested ballots in their name
Too bad this report is from John Lott who is a well known pro gun activist. It would have been better if it came from a neutral party and not a partisan.
That is a more plausible explanation.
Apparently not Americans who have been disenfranchised by fraud.
It was MUCH more than that.
All that was needed was their names and information.
As long as we have Dominion voting machines, mail in voting with no signature verification, allow ballot harvesting by “helpful” groups; I won’t have any confidence whatsoever.
This regime does as it pleases.
Sorry, the Republican leadership doesn’t give a rip.

Where I live, the county requires all mail-in ballots to be at the courthouse by poll closing time, examined for validity before they are opened and scanned and then scanner totals to be reported first.
As a result, there are a relative handful of disputed ballots which arbitrators must rule on prior to inclusion. The process is transparent with all parties on the ballot invited to have their representatives present. IOW, damn near the opposite of how Philadelphia conducts elections with mail-in ballots treated as superior to in-person ballots.
Everybody has some opinion on something where they could be called an activist. They only neutral non-partisans are the MSM (because they told us so) and the fact checkers that social media companies that hired (because who would not believe people that censor you for free speech).
The immediate focus should be on fixing these issues so they are not repeated.
Legal action to reverse the 2020 election is a losing proposition. Fixing election boards is the only reasonable, productive action.
“Everybody has some opinion on something where they could be called an activist.”
Lott is not some nobody with an opinion. He writes books, publishes papers and is the go-to guy for the NRA on gun control statistics and messaging on TV and radio. He’s a lightning rod and therefore his info will instantly be suspect.
No effing way Biden out performed Obama and Hillary.
No way.
IN delaware county, PA the posted results from the County board of elections shows 29K for mail in votes than there were actual mail in voters recorded in the SURE system. 400k more statewide. According the Frank Ryan’s audit of the system.
