Evidence that might be worth a second look

Tweet

Trump, Giuliani and Co have been pouring out a variety of accusations of fraud and malpractice in their efforts to undermine the result of the election held on 3rd November, but the amount of hard evidence produced to date has been woefully thin on the ground. Judges in several states have thrown out case after case for the sole reason that the lawyers in front of them had no answer to the question "Where's your evidence?" However, there is one thing that might point to dodgy goings-on, were that thing to be real. This is the fact that opinion polls were held all over the country prior to the election, and it is perfectly possible to compare the results of those polls with the actual declared results. We also know that the margin of Joe Biden's victory was not as great as the opinion polls predicted, and the degree of error can be calculated just about everywhere, because polling was carried out at local level as well as nationally, and by a large number of agencies. The Trump campaign is complaining that the vote totals were wrong to an alarming degree, such that - if corrected - Trump would have won very easily. In other words, millions of votes were either cast illegally or were switched due to some as yet unexplained computer glitch. But , if that were the case, would not the margin of error as between the predicted and actual results have been wildly out of synch with those seen in other places? If it can be shown that there are counties where the vote totals are so contrary to what was expected that there must have been something very strange going on, then those cases would be well worth a closer look. However, as far as I am aware, this is not the case.
