There’s been a lot of speculation about voter fraud in Pennsylvania. President Trump’s team has filed lawsuits to investigate those allegations.
Rudy Giuliani says that 650,000 votes were illegally counted in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. There may be 900,000 invalid ballots total. Less than 54,000 votes separate Joe Biden and President Trump.
“I think we have enough to change Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania election was a disaster,” Giuliani said. “We have people that observed people being pushed out of the polling place. We have people who were suggested to vote the other way and shown how to do it. I’m giving you the big picture.”

For the record, we don’t know if that is accurate but there’s certainly enough evidence to warrant an investigation.
It’s not just the voting irregularities, removal of poll watchers, or the unlawful election law changes that have people speculating fraud. It’s the voter turnout itself. This is the case in multiple states but we are only focused on Pennsylvania here.
As of the writing of this article, the Pennsylvania government website says 6,802,581 people have voted so far. The count isn’t done yet. In 2016, the total vote was 6,115,402. That’s an increase of 687,179 votes, and they aren’t done with 2020 counting yet. Before 2016, the highest number of votes was in 2008 for Obama with 6,010,519 votes.
These numbers are dramatic, to say the least. Skeptics might say that doesn’t really matter. This was a major election and people were motivated to vote.
There’s some logic to that, but I’d have to ask if they would really be more motivated to vote now than in the elections with Hillary or Obama. I’m not so sure.
Here’s where things get more interesting …
Since 2016, Pennsylvania has only added 279,023 registered voters. So we have an increase of 279,023 registered voters but an increase of 687,179 votes?
Furthermore, voter turnout is 75.57% for 2020. It was 70.11%. There’s been a nearly 5.5% increase in voter turnout? This would be the highest voter turnout since 1992. Prior to 1992, voter turnout above 75% was the norm but it’s not happened one time since then. It’s usually in the high 60s.
Do these numbers specifically indicate fraud? No. They are, however, very irregular in, not only their patterns but their scope of change.
If Rudy Giuliani is right about those 650,000 ballots, and I’m not saying he is, it would make Pennsylvania’s voter turnout 68.35%. That is in the historically accurate range since 1992 for the state while still increasing total votes by 37,179 over 2016 … a new record in total votes for the state.
Given the large numbers we see here and the other issues surrounding Pennsylvania, you can see why people are skeptical of the results.
