This is the kind of garbage that's behind a lot of the viral election-fraud stuff. Some of it's simple mistakes or armchair detectives who don't know better. Some of it's worse ->

As this Powerline blog post shows, that expert confused Minnesota and Michigan. He was counting the population of towns in Minnesota, seeing they did not match Michigan towns, and finding fraud.

This enormous mistake actually made its way into some of the post-election litigation trying to crown Trump the next president. Lin Wood introduced it as part of his request that Georgia be prohibited from certifying its election results.

(25,897 posts)completely ignorant of anything at all outside the city. It's been my experience that they are incredibly parochial, typically think there is absolutely nothing anywhere else worth seeing or experiencing. Makes me crazy.
Sort of like all those ignoramuses who don't know there's a state called New Mexico.

(10,839 posts)Plus this repeats the sloppy, shoddy, incompetent manner in which the Trump people have functioned throughout. Sidney Powell cannot pass a Tucker Carlson sniff test. The other female attorney referred to Donald Trump as a "dirtbag" 4 short years ago.
And Rudy? We've all watched the ridiculous, wild-eyed declarations of a man who clearly is not performing at any credible level.
So now we have inaccurate evidence from people who can't even check their own data. To prove widespread fraud.
It would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous. Because 47% of the public believes this shit.
