Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona and Wisconsin are the key states, with a total of 73 electoral votes,which were ostensibly flipped from Donald Trump in 2016 to Joe Biden in 2020.
Pennsylvania has 20 electoral votes; Georgia and Michigan, 16 each; Arizona, 11; and Wisconsin, 10.
Votes for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Biden in 2020, and the percentage increases are:
| State |
2016 |
2020 |
% Increase |
| Pennsylvania |
2,926,000 |
3,458,000 |
18% |
| Georgia |

2,474,000 |

| Michigan |

| Arizona |

1,672,000 |
44% |
| Wisconsin |
1,383,000 |
1,631,000 |
18% |
Thus, the vote for the Democratic presidential candidate in these states averaged a very robust 27% jump.
By contrast, this table shows five highly populous states, which voted for the Democratic candidate in the last two presidential elections, and which have a combined 131 electoral votes, and their percentage increases:
| State |

2020 |

| California |
8,754,000 |
11,120,000 |
27% |
| New York |

5,231,000 |

| Illinois |

| New Jersey |

2,608,000 |
21% |
| Virginia |
1,981,000 |
1,981,000 |
22% |
However, the Democratic vote in these states edged-up by an average of 19%, a much less enthusiastic turnout than the 27% average increase in the five critical states that Biden allegedly flipped two months ago.
This third chart shows the Democratic results in four states in 2016, and 2020, whose 100 electoral votes Trump won twice, but where the Democrats campaigned fiercely last year:
| State |
2016 |
2020 |
% Increase |
| Texas |
3,878,000 |
5,259,000 |
36% |
| Florida |
4,505,000 |
5,297,000 |
18% |
| Ohio |
2,394,000 |
2,679,000 |
12% |
| North Carolina |
2,189,000 |
2,608,000 |
19% |
Again, the Democratic vote in these states increased by an average of 21%, a statistically significant smaller jump than the 27% in the five states that questionably flipped from Clinton to Biden.
Biden has a razor-thin margin of victory in three of these states:
| State |
Biden |
Trump |
Margin of Victory |
| Arizona |
1,672,000 |
1,662,000 |
10,000 |
| Georgia |
2,474,000 |
2,462,000 |
12,000 |
| Wisconsin |
1,631,000 |
1,610,000 |
21,000 |
Georgia has 16 electoral votes, Arizona has 11 and Wisconsin 10, for a total of 37 electoral votes.
Biden has 306 electoral votes to Trump's 232.
However, if the combined 37 electoral votes from these three states were switched from Biden to Trump, after a Congressional-ordered audit of legal and illegal votes, the electoral count would be tied at 269.
If this potential scenario is actualized, Nevada, with six electoral votes, should be the next highly-contested state for a forensic audit:
| Year |
Clinton/Biden |
Trump |
Victory Margin |
| 2016 |
539,000 |
512,000 |
27,000 |
| 2020 |
703,000 |
669,000 |
34,000 |
Indeed, Biden's anomalous turnout is 30% higher than Clinton's, and this increase ranks fourth among those of the 15 crucial states analyzed in this article:
Arizona: 44%
Texas: 36%
Georgia: 32%
Then, if Nevada were to follow Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin, in flipping from Biden to Trump, the president would be re-elected with 275 electoral votes, to Biden's 263.
Additional Congressional-mandated audits of highly disputed Pennsylvania, with 6.9 million votes cast, and Michigan, with 5.5 million, would become moot.
Finally, if Democrats and their legion of cohorts in the “Fake Liberal Media” are convinced that Biden won the election fairly, why are they so fanatically obstructing honest examinations of the legality of votes in four to six states?
