I originally saw this argument copied into the comments section of a comic book website known as Bleeding Cool.
So the right wing sites are fighting back against the fact that Hillary Clinton is winning the popular vote. They are now claiming that absentee votes haven't been count. And that absentee votes go by a figure of 66 to 33 for Republicans.
They claim that Absentee votes are only counted by the state if they would effect the outcome of an election.
Their fight has taken them back to the 2000 election where Gore won the popular vote and Bush won the electoral college. They claim that Bush also won the popular vote of the election because again Absentee votes were not counted. They claim that California had 2 million absentee votes. And based on their percentages that 1.3 million would have gone to Bush and 600000 to Gore.
This they claim would wipe out the 500,000 difference in the popular vote just using California alone. But what if you look closer at the numbers. And the actual vote tallies.
Well based on their own argument absentee votes are only counted if they effect the state's election. As I pointed out in the thread I found it in, the actual votes for the election were a difference of 1.3 million.
The actual totals were:
Gore 5,861,203
Bush 4,567,429
So if California only counts them if they would effect an election, 1.3 is less than 2 million so the absentee votes would have been counted if they numbered 2 million like is claimed.
But the claim is based on nothing but thin air. Much like the claim that 20 million Amish were going to come out in mass and vote for Trump when the reality is there are only 250,000 Amish living in America.
So their argument as it usually is is flawed.
The reason the "evil" left wing media doesn't report on their conspiracy theories is because most people aren't interested in stores that have as much fact as stories about Big Foot and alien encounters.
Stick with the real facts please.
