Clarification:

No, of course I don’t trust a stupid screenshot from 4chan. The thing I wanted to tell you is that this fucking shit is making the rounds in twitter, so a lot of furious psychos are legit thinking they were cheated.

I have no idea what this means? Would someone mind taking a second to explain this? I would appreciate it

Poll workers report numbers from tally spreadsheets to the news media. Sometimes there’s a delay in between different candidates’ tallies being reported, and the website refreshes faster than the data can be reported to the goons doing manual data entry. Early votes for Biden got counted in one lump sum, but the early votes for Trump from that batch hadn’t been reported yet because again, manual process involving a lot of Excel sheets and phone calls. CHUD sees the vote totals during one of these “lag” periods while shit is still being entered for Trump. Antics ensue.

I used to work at a call center and those manual data entry shifts we had to do when elections came around were by far the most soul crushing shit at that place

In an update, they loaded 138k votes, ALL of them for Biden, weird.

Not that weird, if you’re tallying votes into stacks and reporting them to your system in batches.

You’re assuming a system that does "Enter Votes: Biden _____ Trump ______ " rather than one that does “Enter Votes: Candidate _____ Total _____”
