But for the censoring of the New York Post, Trump would have won,\u201d <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ThinkerChicago\/status\/1512086977234931722\"><span>said<\/span><\/a><span> Jonah Goldberg, who went on to describe the notion that the lack of coverage of the Hunter Biden scandal had any impact on the 2020 election as a \u201cpreposterous counterfactual.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>And Goldberg is not alone. For example, during the same event, staff writer for The Atlantic, Anne Applebaum, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ClayTravis\/status\/1511853692160458752\"><span>claimed<\/span><\/a><span> that the Hunter Biden laptop story was \u201cirrelevant,\u201d and uninteresting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This viewpoint mirrors messaging prior to and in the immediate aftermath of the 2020 election. For example, Sen. Schumer <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.news.yahoo.com\/hunter-biden-irrelevant-distraction-schumer-171919621.html?guccounter=1&#038;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&#038;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAABembEkwVng3XZl_SrdfSXvcFKvZNDPzC26km3BQffRNOKS_IFYwbrHxzBneWslj1HcBdVugyQPlh_GaDhSatiioOmxIPJcr_fURaUPsIG91TTQ6VO2Lf7sQU8eHA4lQYXpBsveck92Ac9dXdBAGGDcIyzrY4sq_HSgoDkr5mCcX\">described<\/a> Hunter Biden as \u201cirrelevant\u201d and a \u201cdistraction\u201d in January 2020, while multiple pundits <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/cnn-msnbc-dismissed-hunter-bidens-laptop-russian-disinformation-narrative-deflated\">called<\/a> the story \u201cRussian misinformation\u201d after the election took place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>However, as data from the time shows, Hunter Biden is not only relevant, but potentially pivotal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In November 2020, the Media Research Center commissioned The Polling Company to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbusters.org\/blogs\/nb\/rich-noyes\/2020\/11\/24\/special-report-stealing-presidency-2020\">survey<\/a> 1,750 Biden voters in seven swing states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A massive 45.1% of Biden voters polled said they were \u201c<\/span><span>unaware of the financial scandal enveloping Biden and his son, Hunter,\u201d adding that \u201cfull awareness of the Hunter Biden scandal would have led 9.4% of Biden voters to abandon the Democratic candidate.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>And it\u2019s this 9.4% change that could have been hugely consequential when we consider Biden\u2019s winning margins in six of these swing states. Biden won Arizona by 0.3%, Georgia by 0.23%, Michigan by 2.8%, Nevada by 2.4%, Pennsylvania by 1.2%, and Wisconsin by 0.63%. A swing of 9.4% would have handed each of these states to former President Donald Trump, giving him 79 additional electoral votes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>His total in this scenario? 311 electoral votes, 41 votes over the 270 electoral votes required to win the presidential election.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>So even while the Democratic Party and their media accomplices cling to the notion that Hunter Biden remains an \u201cirrelevant\u201d and \u201cuninteresting\u201d \u201cdistraction,\u201d the fact remains clear: one act of <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/03\/30\/washington-post-admits-hunter-biden-laptop-is-real\/\">baseless<\/a> censorship helped win the election for Joe Biden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>That seems pretty relevant to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Ian Haworth is a writer for The Daily Wire and contributor to Morning Wire.
