There’s a new peer-reviewed study from economist and gun expert John Lott, Jr. that is going to have a lot of folks talking again about the 2020 election.
Lott concluded that at most 255,000 votes were in excess, with possibly 368,000 for Biden in battleground states.

And in a review of his statistical study he provided to RealClearPolitics, he said that “Biden only carried these states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — by a total of 313,253 votes. Excluding Michigan, the gap was 159,065.”
So the difference would be significant and relevant, but Lott says his purpose isn’t to contest the election but to point out there are issues for future elections.
Lott looked at voter registration lists, real in-person voting counts, absentee votes and provisional ballots from counties where fraud is suspected. These counts were compared to those of neighboring counties. He suggested that they should be comparable.
He discovered major differences that raised questions about fraud.
He also found unexplained votes and vast variations in absentee voter turnout, along with other problems like bloated voter lists or felons illegally registering to vote.
“In Fulton County, Georgia, 2,423 voters were not listed on the state’s records as registered, and 2,560 felons voted even though they had not completed their sentences,” Lott said in the report.
He concluded, “The voter turnout rate data provide stronger evidence of significant excess Biden votes in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. According to the estimates, counties in which vote fraud is suspected returned 142,000-368,000 extra Biden votes. These are some dramatic findings, but they could be understated because voter turnout estimates don’t account for votes cast for an opposing candidate. They also do not take into consideration ballots lost, destroyed or replaced by ballots for another candidate. While it would involve a lot more work, it would be possible to apply the precinct level tests to compare turnout rates in adjacent precincts across all the counties where fraud was alleged.”
The nature of excess votes is likely to be a topic of conversation for many. There are normally votes from such things as provisional ballots and other variations, but what’s interesting about what Lott is saying is that the numbers were different in the key areas. That’s something that needs to be answered as to the why.
