Since then, I have found more information to prove my point that this video is disinformation. Here's a site where the turnout is listed per state.

Pennsylvania is nowhere near the top. It is not even above Florida. Georgia is even lower. Maine and Minnesota are top with 79.2%. Iowa is next with 78.6%. In 2012, Iowa was at 72.7%. This guy is manipulating figures to deceive, pure and simple. That is not an opinion, an explain-away, a product of Trump Derangement Syndrome, a different way of looking at it, a product of my bias - it is an objective fact. Such things do exist. You say that this guy put up some broad strokes that were worth a look. I went to the trouble of taking a look and these broad strokes turned out to be completely bogus. You can hang your hat on that smile

You can get into broader arguments about the election, including those based on the assumption that any city where a Democratic candidate gets a lot of votes is clearly corrupt, but in the matter of this video, the facts are pretty clear.

Reading this back, I am aware that I am probably coming across as a bit of an arrogant jerk. Please excuse the way I express myself sometimes. I just feel so passionately about the need to cut through this kind of thing. If we throw our hands up and accept, as you seem to, that there is no such thing as an objective fact, only reflections of what one side or another wishes to be true, how can we as a society possibly tackle the challenges facing us. Videos like this serve only to exacerbate that problem.

Do you think that all this is going to cause me to say..."Well, that proves up and settles it. The election was clean as a whistle. Joe is my guy. Load him up"
Put your time to a better use.

The guy's video was interesting. Your response is interesting too. But I'm sorry to say that neither his video or your opinion about it is a game changer.
I've thought that the integrity of the mail in ballots from the outset was sht. Remember "liar loans." It was that ridiculous sht that helped destroy the economy and led to a 27 trillion dollar debt. The borrower certified their own income statement.

Jaded as it may be...you cant trust people to police themselves without oversight. It is idiocy to assume that they will.
