Because they'll likely roll out the same bad code again, I decided to bring out some tweets from 2020 about how a past effort to reconstruct the vote and prove that votes were being reallocated from Trump to Biden rested on multiple bad assumptions. Sharing today in case it's relevant again.
Hey all, I just saw the stupidest "proof of voting fraud" by someone with a terrible Python script and I don't know if I should bother explicating all the mistakes he's making
Okay, the first thing you must understand about live election reports is that they are eventually consistent. County people are giving numbers to stringers who are reporting things in dozens of time each hour. Individual mistakes happen and get corrected over the night
As a result, it's a really stupid assumption to look at two different timestamps like this: T1: N votes Cand1: 50.3% Cand2: 47.8% T2: N+M votes Cand1: 50.4% Cand2: 47.6%
