| 0:00.0 | It's Tuesday, November 12, 2024. I'm Albert Moller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:14.3 | Well, as you look at election statistics for the last several presidential cycles, the numbers turn out to be really interesting. |
| 0:21.8 | For some people, |
| 0:29.4 | they are deeply troubling. In 2012, 129 million voters, total voters voted in the presidential election. 2016, 136 million. 2020, 159 million. In 2024, 146 million. Now, one of these things is not like the other. |
| 0:41.6 | The outlier here is the year 2020, when, at least according to official numbers, 159 million |
| 0:49.1 | Americans voted in the presidential election. The problem is you're looking at a massive leap between 2016 and |
| 0:56.9 | 2020 from 136 to 159, and you're also looking at a backwards movement as you look at 159 |
| 1:06.0 | reported for 2020 and 146 reported for 2024. So even as one of these things is not like the other, |
| 1:14.8 | there is no obvious reason why that total number is so much larger. Now, the interesting thing here, |
| 1:21.0 | if you look at the other side of the equation, is what about the vote for Donald Trump? |
| 1:25.3 | Well, it turns out that the vote for Donald Trump in 2024 is remarkably close to the vote for Donald Trump? Well, it turns out that the vote for Donald Trump in |
| 1:28.5 | 2024 is remarkably close to the vote he got in 2020. But does that tell us that there |
| 1:35.4 | was some kind of fraud? Is there some kind of distortion going on here? Well, for one thing, |
| 1:40.3 | it simply is not true that there were more voters than those registered to vote in 2020. |
| 1:45.3 | That's just something that's easily documented. But when you look at that leap during COVID |
| 1:51.1 | to 159 million voters, a record total vote, and then you look at the fact that, according to the |
| 1:59.1 | official numbers, Joe Biden received 81 million |
| 2:02.4 | votes, the most votes cast for any presidential candidate in history. Well, you look at that, |
| 2:07.5 | and you have to ask, how in the world is that possible? For one thing, in 2020, we were talking |
| 2:12.8 | about the lockdowns for COVID. We're talking about a severe disruption in our entire social system, |
| 2:20.0 | but voting analysts will also come back and say there were remarkable adaptations made |
| 2:25.4 | to allow people to vote even under the circumstances of COVID. |
