# 1 would fit, if there were a proportionate number of mail-in ballots for Jo Jorgensen and Kanye West. If you have 10,000 ballots, some of those will be expected. Tens of thousands of Biden-only? Repeatedly? Doesn't pass the sniff test.

What does “Biden only” votes mean to you? Is that where you see vote totals jump for Biden, but not for any other candidate? Because your conclusion from that, that it’s obviously fraud, seems incredibly naive. The simple answer is they update candidate totals in chunks.

Further, if someone was committing fraud, they could just add a few votes for other candidates to evade your detection. Your sniff test doesn’t pass my sniff test.

Biden-only means the ballot is marked _only_ for Biden, and not for any of the congress or local legislature candidates. That's unlikely as fuck, especially when such ballots come as a large batch or a series of large batches. That's what you do if you bought into the "Joe is ahead by 15%" polls and didn't have the time to make your scam believable at 4AM on November 4th.

For PA

Joe Biden: 3,376,367 Donald Trump: 3,326,687 Jo Jorgensen: 77,922

So, for every Jorgensen voter, there are approx. 43 Biden voters.

I mean, if mail-ins were proportional, you'd expect Jorgensen to get what, between 100 and 200 mail-in ballots? But we know that Biden has a much higher ratio of mail-in ballots than Trump, and maybe Jorgensen voters are closer to Trump than Biden, in their voting habits?

Just speculation. Same goes for Kanye West. Who knows how many of those votes were serious and planned, and how many were just for the "lols" at the polling station.

Points is - both Jorgensen and West are so few compared to the rest, that seeing just tens to a couple of hundred votes per TEN thousand doesn't really seem out of place.
