Census reveals weird anomaly: Shows millions less voted in 2020 election than official tally

[Election Wizzard] US Census data released last week called into question the official vote tally from the 2020 election. As part of the Census, the government collects data on citizens who self-report as having voted in presidential elections. The collected data shows an unusual anomaly in the reported results.

According to the Census, the recorded number of people voting in 2020 was tallied at 154,628,000. On the other hand, official results place the number of actual ballots cast slightly north of 158 million. That’s a discrepancy of nearly four million votes.

Speaking to pollster Richard Baris during an episode of "Inside the Numbers," lawyer Robert Barnes said historically, the Census tends to "pin on the nose" the recorded vote numbers with the actual results. In other words, often the two data sets reasonably match.

Barnes is right. For example, the bureau was nearly spot-on in 2008, slightly under-reporting that 131,100,000 voted, while the official results showed 131,300,000 ballots cast.

Of course, sometimes the Census has missed the mark. But for decades, in almost every case where the Census grossly botched the results, it was because the bureau over-recorded the number of those who voted.

Consider the following: In 1992, the Census over recorded the official results by slightly more than nine million. In 1996, the Census again over recorded the number of reported voters by roughly nine million. Similarly, the bureau recorded the number of those who voted in the 2004 election as 125 million, while official results placed the total at 122 million.

The same over-recording phenomenon occurred in 2012, with the Census over-reporting the number of voters by several million. In fact, even in 2016 where the Census was quite close, it still over-recorded the official election results.

#1 We had a report earlier this week about the Census 'moving' people from red states to blue states to paper over the population loss by blue states (and lead to the robbing of at least three congressional seats from red states), and now we have this. Corruption and shenanigans at every turn; it's like you just can't trust government numbers anymore.

#2 Interesting. This deserves a lot more research into the sampling methods used by the Census. Unless the Census changed their methods in 2020, this is yet more evidence of Democrat bullshit around absentee ballots last November

Also, these numbers should be broken out by DMA/metro area to see if the overcounting is most severe in areas where the most shenanigans happened, like Atlanta, Philly, Milwaukee and Phoenix.

An it appears we sure registered a lot of voters quickly in 2020.

#4 The 'did you vote' question only appears in a sample of census queries. The total 'voting' is an extrapolation of the sample and has the usual problems with whether the sample is representative.

The 2020 census was during the pandemic. It is not clear how different the response rates were from other census counts.

#5 How did the response rate vary over each of these periods?

#6 The dead walk among us. Looks like there were a lot of manufactured votes in 2020. No wonder the Dems are trying to halt/stop audits in various swing states.

#9 How did the response rate vary...

Well one of the problems is comparing years in which the census overlaps the presidential election and other years. In 2020, the census closed its books before Nov 3. So I'm not sure how the estimate was made, obviously some people voted early but many did not.
