Hawkifsh, a data-analytics firm founded by Mike Bloomberg to help Democratic candidates, predicts Donald Trump will appear to win November’s election in a landslide on election night, but that after all the votes are tallied – especially mail-in ballots – Biden will actually be declared the winner.
Hawkfish CEO Josh Mendelsohn called this scenario a “red mirage.”
“When every legitimate vote is tallied and we get to that final day, which will be some day after Election Day, it will in fact show that what happened on election night was exactly that, a mirage,” Mendelsohn says.
“It looked like Donald Trump was in the lead and he fundamentally was not when every ballot gets counted.”
Mendelsohn says events could unfold in such a way as to have President Trump hold a commanding 408-130 lead in the electoral college on election night. That is, if only a small percentage – about 15% – of mail-in ballots are counted.
But once all of the ballots are counted, Mendelsohn’s models predict Biden “as ultimately winning a massive victory, 334-204.”
“Way more Democrats will vote by mail than Republicans, due to fears of the coronavirus, and it will take days if not weeks to tally these,” reports Axios. “This means Trump, thanks to Republicans doing almost all of their voting in person, could hold big electoral college and popular vote leads on election night.”
Hawkfish says it is merely trying to “educate” the public about the threat of President Trump declaring victory too soon in presenting these scenarios. It is also trying to alert the news media and the courts to “perils of premature results,” it says.
Other Democrats have echoed the same sentiments recently. Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic nominee, said last week that “Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances because I think this is going to drag out.”
Social media users believe Democrats are laying the foundation needed to steal November’s election however:

Because @TheDemocrats will have to figure out:
1) how many additional votes they need
2) who didn’t mail in a ballot
3) what story to create for each case where there are suddenly “found” votes
4) how to create the most hysteria possible (something they’ve been doing for 4 yrs)— Malarkey Besmirched Spaghetti Forklifts (@SemperBanU) September 1, 2020
“A top Democratic data firm…” predicts Trump will win the election but only until they get their hands on it. This seems a mite suspicious.

Because they intend to cheat. No one should be using mail in ballots unless you’re vulnerable. If democrats have no issue with mass riots then there should be no issue with voting

After all those months of questioning if Trump would accept the results, we now see the reason for the mass unsolicited ballot requests…they want chaos and vote counting wars to hope to force a situation where they can win in the courts.
