Trump Won 2020 - Heartland Institute Study

The Heartland Institute study tried to gauge the probable impact that fraudulent mail-in ballots cast for both then-candidate Joe Biden and his opponent, President Donald Trump, would have had on the overall 2020 election results.

The study was based on data obtained from a Heartland/Rasmussen survey in December that revealed that roughly one in five mail-in voters admitted to potentially fraudulent actions in the presidential election.

After the researchers carried out additional analyses of the data, they concluded that mail-in ballot fraud “significantly” impacted the 2020 presidential election.

They also found that, absent the huge expansion of mail-in ballots during the pandemic, which was often done without legislative approval, President Trump would most likely have won.

Over 43 percent of 2020 votes were cast by mail, the highest percentage in U.S. history.

In November and December of 2023, The Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports conducted a landmark survey of U.S. voters in an attempt to definitively assess the degree of fraudulent voting that occurred in the 2020 election. The results of the survey are nothing short of stunning, and upon their release, they sparked numerous conversations about the amount of fraud in the 2020 election and the potential impact of mail-in ballot fraud in future elections. For example, President Trump referred to the poll as “the biggest story of the year” and “the most important poll released in the past 20 years.
