Great piece. The ballot harvesting will go on again this year, and will result in another Biden victory. It may have to be more blatant and via different and unforeseen methods, but it will definitely happen.
I don’t think the manipulation of information via the media and government actually influenced the election. Trump received the most votes of any incumbent and actually increased his vote totals by over ten million from the 2016 election, a feat for which I cannot find another example. Ultimately, Trump lost, but barely. My point is that despite an unprecedented media/government onslaught, Trump massively increased his vote.
Ballot harvesting is what lost Trump the election, and he will lose it again in the same way.
It’s impossible to know for sure what impact the social media censorship campaign had on the election, but the fact that left conspired with the media to censor information during elections shows that at least they believed it would have an impact.
But it is definitely true that the R’s dealing with a media environment that is hostile to them and seeks to aid the Dems is nothing new, and so the ballot harvesting issue is probably a much more significant issue.
