| Wisconsin's WIMP votes declined by 132K from 2016 to 2020 |
Wisconsin had a WIMP problem in the 2020 election.
WIMP is an acronym for Write-In and Minor Party. The graphic above shows that WIMP votes declined by 132,307 votes from 2016 to 2020. Similar declines have been found in other key battleground states -- for example:
Arizona: Minor Party: -106,100; Write-In: -51,238
Georgia: Minor Party: -83,192: Write-In: -20,155
Pennsylvania: Minor Party: -180,752: Write-In: -113,417
Are all of these declines a coincidence? Did minor party and other voters decide to acquiesce and vote for a major party candidate? Or do these declines represent this a systemic issue in our US elections/voting systems?
Evidence suggests the latter.
In each of the states listed above, the decline in Write-In votes was greater than Biden's margins of victory.
