Patrick Basham, founder of research organization the Democracy Institute, broke down the \u201cimplausibility\u201d of Joe Biden\u2019s presumed presidential victory for Fox News, as Donald Trump continues to insist there\u2019s \u201cno way\u201d he lost.<\/p>\n
Joe Biden\u2019s apparent victory over the incumbent Trump is\u00a0\u201cstatistically implausible,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Basham told Mark Levin on Sunday night during \u2018Life, Liberty & Levin\u2019, describing a lot of processes that went against all expectations during the elections.<\/p>\n He says that the Democrat defied the\u00a0\u201cnon-polling metrics,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0which Basham claims have \u201ca 100 percent accuracy rate,\u201d including\u00a0\u201chow the candidates did in their respective presidential primaries, the number of individual donations, [and] how much enthusiasm each candidate generated in the opinion polls.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Trump, who with over 74 million votes is considered to have the second-best performance of any candidate in history (as Biden is said to have over 80 million), has alleged that fraudulent ballots in key swing states like Pennsylvania and Georgia led to Biden\u2019s apparent victory. Basham cited a\u00a0\u201chistorically low ballot rejection rate\u201d<\/em>\u00a0as a possible factor behind the president losing reelection.<\/p>\n \u201cRejection rates, which in the primaries earlier this year were well into the double-digits and which historically have often been very, very high in these key swing states, or at least in the key swing counties, we’re seeing rejection rates of less than one percent, often very close to to zero,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n With a major increase in absentee ballots due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it is\u00a0\u201cimplausible,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0based on voter experience in the area, that so few ballots would be rejected, Basham theorized.<\/p>\n Also shedding a questionable light on Biden\u2019s victory, the pollster added, is Trump\u2019s own performance, which was unusually strong for an incumbent candidate.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you look at the results, you see how Donald Trump improved his national performance over 2016 by almost 20 percent,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he said.\u00a0\u201cNo incumbent president has ever lost a reelection bid if he’s increased his votes [total]. Obama went down by three and a half million votes between 2008 and 2012, but still won comfortably.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n President Trump reacted to Basham\u2019s Fox segment, seemingly citing it as further \u2018evidence\u2019 of his supposed win.<\/p>\n \u201cSo true!\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he tweeted.\u00a0\u201cNo way we lost this election!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
