As the dust settles on the 2024 elections, emerging reports of irregularities have reignited debates about election integrity and cast renewed suspicion on the results of 2020. With advancements in data collection and auditing techniques, discrepancies in the 2024 vote counts have drawn attention from both election officials and watchdog organizations, many of whom are raising red flags over inconsistencies that are difficult to ignore. This scrutiny has led some to wonder if these irregularities are isolated to 2024 or if they hint at a deeper issue within the electoral system that could also affect previous elections, including 2020.
Early reports from 2024 highlight several unusual patterns, including disparities in vote counts across counties, unexpected shifts in voter turnout, and conflicting data in absentee ballot handling. In several states, for example, voter turnout sharply deviated from historical trends in a way that appears statistically improbable. An investigation by a nonpartisan research group found that certain counties reported turnout levels over 95%, a figure well above the national average of around 60% in recent elections. Such anomalies, while not definitive proof of wrongdoing, suggest that a closer examination may be warranted to understand whether similar patterns occurred in 2020 but went unnoticed or unaddressed.
These 2024 irregularities also underscore the importance of proven cases of cheating that have been documented over the past decade. While individual cases of voter fraud are rare, organizations like the Heritage Foundation have compiled thousands of documented instances of election fraud in their database, illustrating that fraud, though infrequent, is a real and ongoing issue. In some high-profile cases, individuals have been charged and convicted for manipulating absentee ballots or casting multiple votes, revealing weaknesses in the system that could be exploited on a larger scale. The lessons from these cases raise concerns about whether the same vulnerabilities were present in 2020 and whether they affected the final vote count.
The increased use of absentee and mail-in voting in 2020 also raises questions in light of 2024’s irregularities. While mail-in voting was expanded due to the COVID-19 pandemic, critics argue that it introduced new opportunities for error and fraud. In 2024, tighter controls on absentee ballots have highlighted procedural discrepancies, such as mismatches in signature verification and ballot collection practices, which were not as strictly enforced in 2020. These revelations suggest that the scale of absentee voting in 2020, combined with laxer controls, may have resulted in unintentional—or intentional—manipulation that has only come to light now with improved scrutiny in 2024.
In light of the data emerging from 2024, it’s clear that our electoral system could benefit from more rigorous safeguards to ensure that every vote is accurate and that every election is fair. While it may be difficult to draw definitive conclusions about the 2020 election, the irregularities observed in 2024 indicate that oversight was, and is, necessary. For the sake of public trust in the electoral process, a transparent investigation into both the 2024 and 2020 elections may be the only way to restore confidence in the integrity of our democracy
