PolitiFact debunks Elise Stefanik's illogical claim that laptop story could have swung election

PolitiFact decided to look into a February 9 tweet in which Rep. Elise Stefanik said that 53 percent of Americans would have changed their vote if they’d known about the Hunter Biden laptop story, which was suppressed by social media and proudly ignored by outlets like NPR.

PolitiFact rates her tweet false and reports:

The laptop was left at a Delaware computer repair shop, and some of the laptop’s contents were reported by the New York Post in October 2020, weeks before the presidential election. The laptop story was suspected to be Russian-planted disinformation, but subsequent reporting shows that does not appear to be the case.

Hold up … does not appear to be the case? It took them years, but even the major networks used forensic analysis to confirm the contents.

Stefanik’s claim — that 53% of people made aware of the laptop story would have changed their vote — adds together the 28% of respondents who said they were “very likely” to have changed their votes, and the 25% who said they were “somewhat likely.” Rounding out the pool were 17% who said they were “not very likely,” 25% who were “not at all likely,” and 6% who were “unsure.”

We’ll never know, will we? PolitiFact says Stefanik’s claim is illogical because the poll included Republicans, who wouldn’t have voted for Joe Biden anyway.

What about independents? They’re the ones who allegedly swung the vote for Biden. And they couldn’t follow the story closely anyway since the media decided it was Russian information and refused to dignify it with coverage.
