In reply to the discussion: Something Is Sour In Tennessee -- And It's Not The Whiskey (Aftyn Behn) [View all]LymphocyteLover
(9,197 posts)17. A timeline isn't needed. It's simple math. First they say only 1800 votes left then it jumps up
to 31,000 more votes.
It's weird. It doesn't mean vote rigging necessarily but they also show funny precinct data about how higher precinct turnout leads to more R votes.
It's a bit of evidence and there could be a simple explanation for it, like just different reporting from different news sites.
Still it's still odd to see the vote count jump up like that.

OP
That shift was because the most heavily blue district (Nashville) took the longest to count and report.

Idk about the OPs claim but I was tracking NYTs county results and they had it at more than 95% reporting even tho

yes, I agree with the idea that these media sites likely have imperfect counts

The claim of 148,853 votes tallied with 99.4% reporting is in the black DDHQ graphic at the top

I read they bought touchscreens with huge paper rolls that record the voters selections

They dont actually know how many ballots are left. Sometimes there are more than they think. Sometimes less.

This Will Hold has become BlueAnon, pushing CT election denialism far too often. If Kari Lake was a Dem, she'd lead it.
