My theory about what may happen in the vote-counting room in PA, WI, MI, etc. [View all]

You have one Democrat, one Republican. They examine each paper ballot. When it's a vote for Biden, the Republican has been ordered to find something to object to. Maybe the signature is just a little different. Maybe the signature has an abbreviation where the printed name doesn't. Just something to throw it out. And there's a pattern.

And you can't replace the Republican counter. Either nobody else is available or they've all been given their instructions to throw out Biden ballots.

Your theory is based on the process used in the 2000 FL recounts and doesn't apply here Fiendish Thingy Oct 2020 #13
