17. So the claim is that DDHQ reported 99.4% reporting

Thursday

And added 30,000 more votes after. Not that 99.4% of precincts were reporting. When I watched the vote counts, it was closer to 90% of precincts reporting (based on the county results I was following) even when the NYTimes had closer to 95% reporting.

Ddhq could have easily been wrong (and likely were) in their guesstimation of expected votes counted. But I promise you there were not 99.4% precincts reporting before those votes were added. I followed it closely and there were at least 50 precincts that were added at the last minute (or last 30 minutes) from various counties.

(There. That should make sense. Sorry for trying to do basic math in public. That was embarrassing).

1% of precincts could be 31,000 votes. A precinct isnt defined by number of people or % of votes SSJVegeta Thursday #1

It would be nearly impossible for 0.6% of the precincts in the District Wiz Imp Thursday #4

Those are still averages though. We are talking about a county with both a large rural and urban population SSJVegeta Thursday #5

Update: it would be absolutely impossible for 0.6% of the precincts Wiz Imp Thursday #6
