Why Does Biden Have So Many More Votes Than Democrat Senators In Swing States?
Quote:In most elections, the majority of votes are cast "down the ticket" - meaning, a voter supports both party's presidential nominee and state Congressional candidates. In fact, according to Pew Research, "overwhelming shares of voters who are supporting Trump and Biden say they are also supporting the same-party candidate for Senate."

Typically, this means that that the number of votes for a presidential candidate and that party's Senate candidates are relatively close.

Twitter user "US Rebel" (@USRebellion1776), however, found that the number of votes cast for Joe Biden far exceeds those cast for that state's Senate candidates in swing states, while those cast for Trump and GOP Senators remains far closer.

In Michigan, for example, there was a difference of just 7,131 votes between Trump and GOP candidate John James, yet the difference between Joe Biden and Democratic candidate Gary Peters was a staggering 69,093.

In Georgia, there was an 818 vote difference between Trump and the GOP Senator, vs. a 95,000 difference between Biden and the Democratic candidate for Senator.



Yet, in two non-swing states, there was "no massive flood of mysterious empty Biden votes," leading US Rebel to suggest "It's fraud."

In Wyoming, the difference on the Democratic side is is just 725 votes, while in Montana the difference is 27,457.



What's going on here? If it were "never-Trumpers" pairing Biden with their GOP Congressional picks, wouldn't one expect fewer votes for Trump than GOP Senators? We're open to suggestions.

It doesn't surprise me. People might not like Trump, but they tend to think their Senator/Rep is swell.

More compelling is how many Biden ballots had no down votes selected. And Biden ballots in heavy blue districts with congressional reps on the ballot.

But the math doesnt support that. John James and Trump have nearly the same vote count, therefore the issue isnt the trump or james vote. It cant be never trumpers voting biden then republican down ballot. It is a bunch of Biden-no down ballot votes in those states. And that makes no sense whatsoever.
