In reply to the discussion: Something Is Sour In Tennessee -- And It's Not The Whiskey (Aftyn Behn) [View all]SSJVegeta
(2,143 posts)22. Idk about the OPs claim but I was tracking NYTs county results and they had it at more than 95% reporting even tho
The State SOS still only had 5/7 of most of the county precincts reporting for Nashville (cant remember the County it is in). They later corrected it to 93% when I refreshed later.
I imagine a similar mistake could have been had at DDHQ. The press makes mistakes sometimes, but that's nothing new. Also sites like DDHQ and NYTimes have less than perfect methods of estimating (maybe sometiems guesstimating) total number of votes counted. There is no certainty of exactly how many votes are left to count.

Something Is Sour In Tennessee -- And It's Not The Whiskey (Aftyn Behn) [View all]

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

A timeline isn't needed. It's simple math. First they say only 1800 votes left then it jumps up

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.
