We need to do better debunking this chart, though anybody can ask an AI like
@grok to do it.
There are four fundamental problems:
1. big cities like Milwaukie, WI are heavily Democrat, often at a 2:1 ratio, in all states (swing state or not)
2. Trump supporters avoided mail-in ballots, so mail-in ballots favored Democrats also by a 2:1 ratio, in every state
3. some states (including Wisconsin) have rules saying that you cannot open mail-in ballots before election day, which causes late counting
4. big cities could not handle the load, and either didn't finish until 3am (like in Milwaukie) or had to send workers home for the night and continue the next day (like Atlanta and Detroit)
As a consequence of this, the Milwaukie County (mostly the city of Milwaukie) did not finish counting mail-in ballots until 3am, and because the two 2:1 effects mentioned above, favored Democrats 4:1.
That's what you see in that big jump where suddenly Biden catches up to Trump. It's completely explained.
Indeed, that this was going to happen was known ahead of time, discussed in the news under names like the "blue wave" or "red mirage". Steve Bannon is caught on tape before the elect saying how Trump can exploit this to claim the vote was rigged -- which Trump did indeed do in order to justify his Fake Elector scheme.
We have other ways of verifying this. You can look at Wikipedia for the 2016, 2020, and 2024 election results in Milwaukie county. This confirms that the total number of votes, and distribution of votes, were roughly the same in all three elections. If there a hundred thousand fraudulent votes, you'd see that fact in those numbers -- but you don't.
By the way, we are seeing the same effect in the Las Angeles Mayor's race right at this moment. Republican avoided mail-in ballots, so late-counting of those ballots are breaking for the two Democrats in this race, pushing the Republican down from second place (early reporting) to maybe third place in the final tally. Only the top 2 go onto a run-off election. It's not fraud, it's just mechanics.
People ask why can't they be like Florida. It's because Florida counts mail-in ballots BEFORE election day. In such states, the first counts favor Democrats with Republicans catching up as in-person votes are tallied throughout the evening. Different states have different laws.
