Omg, how many times does this need to be explain that this was all debunked, that there was no fraud with spikes.

Do you seriously believe, Trump or others like him could not go to Court to present that spike anomalies evidence, to challenge it? Or are you going to say group 65 is too scary for Trump or others like him. Do you know how funny that sounds.

No one will because it is meritless, because it was all debunked. No lawyer would dare go to Court with it and expose losing their license.

We know that once brainwashed it's almost Impossible to accept, admit being wrong, made a mistake. So sad to see a brain that is wired to have to stick with a big lie no matter that reality stares the truth on that brain.

Anything is garbage. Everything is debunked. Most is conspiracy crap quickly dispelled but once it gets out the damage is done so the dispelled debunked conspiracy crap continues to be played out like you're doing while claiming it's legit.

Wow.

Fact check: Vote spikes in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania do not prove election fraud

Social media users have been sharing posts claiming that during the night of Nov. 3 to Nov. 4 there were vote dumps of hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots only for Democrat Joe Biden in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, suggesting this proves voter fraud allegations. These vote spikes did occur, but they also included Trump votes, accounted for largely left-leaning urban counties, and one state experienced a clerical error.

The posts (here; , here; , here; , here) appear to originate from a tweet (here) by Nick Adams, who describes himself as a bestselling author endorsed by President Trump (twitter.com/NickAdamsinUSA). The tweet, posted at 12:48 a.m. GMT on Nov. 5, 2020, says: “Between 3:40-4:30AM, they “found” 140,000 mail in ballots for Biden in Wisconsin. Between 3:30-5:00AM, they “found” 200,000 mail in ballots for Biden in Michigan. Between 2:00-4:00AM, they “found” 1,000,000 mail in ballots in Pennsylvania. All for Biden. None for Trump.” Comments and captions say, “Fraud!!”; “Fraud gone rampant”; “A fraud is a fraud.”

A spokesman for data analysis website FiveThirtyEight ( fivethirtyeight.com/ ) told Reuters via email that the jumps in Michigan and Wisconsin were due to counties releasing large batches of results all at once and that the votes were not just for Biden. One large jump of almost 140,000 ballots in Michigan was due to a clerical error that has since been resolved. In Pennsylvania both the Trump and Biden campaign gained around 1 million votes on the night of Nov. 3 to Nov. 4.

Reuters has previously debunked claims that vote spikes prove Democrats are trying to steal the election in Wisconsin and Michigan ( here ).

Fact check: Biden vote spikes and county recount do not prove Democrats are trying to steal the election in Michigan and Wisconsin

Says Joe Biden received a sudden influx of 138,339 votes in Michigan while Donald Trump received none.

No, Biden did not receive thousands of mysteriously surfaced votes in Michigan

Widespread posts about vote tallies in Michigan are taking off online as conservatives ramp up their efforts to sow doubt over the legitimacy of legally cast ballots counted after Election Day.

Hours after President Donald Trump called for the counting of votes cast before Election Day to cease and falsely declared that he’d won reelection, right-leaning pundits and politicians began circulating a pair of misleading screenshots that they claimed showed potential election fraud in Michigan.

The screenshots showed a change in the vote tallies as they appeared on the elections map powered by Decision Desk HQ, an election data and analysis service. The photos appeared to show that in one update overnight, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden received a sudden influx of 138,339 votes in Michigan while other candidates received none.
"An update gives Biden 100% of new votes — 128k+," said Matt Mackowiak, founder of a GOP political communications firm, in one of the first tweets that spotlighted the two screenshots.

Mackowiak later deleted his tweet, which Twitter had labeled as potentially misleading. "I have now learned the MI update referenced was a typo in one county," he wrote in a second tweet.

But the correction hasn’t gotten nearly the same attention as the first tweet, which was spread widely among conservatives. Many claimed the photos showed proof of "fraud" or "theft" or illegality by Democrats in Michigan who had "magically found" ballots for Biden, the former vice president.

Trump shared a retweet of Mackowiak’s tweet, writing, "What is this all about?"

Similarly misleading claims based on the same screenshots also circulated on Facebook, where they were flagged as part of the platform’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)

In reality, the influx of 138,339 votes for Biden referenced in the social media posts were the result of a data error, said Drew McCoy, a spokesperson for Decision Desk HQ. They were not indicative of voter fraud, mysteriously surfaced votes or other nefarious actions by Democrats.

"It was a simple error from a file created by the state that we ingested," McCoy said of the viral screenshots, noting that Decision Desk HQ does not make changes to state-provided files.

Our ruling

A number of tweets claimed that Biden received a suspicious, potentially fraudulent influx of 138,339 votes in Michigan overnight while other candidates received none.

The update that appeared to show large numbers of ballots delivered to Biden all at once was the result of a data error, the spokesperson for Decision Desk HQ told PolitiFact.

The error was promptly corrected and not indicative of voter fraud or any other nefarious action by Democrats or the state.

We rate such claims False.

Clerical Error Prompts Unfounded Claims About Michigan Results

A data input error that briefly showed an unusually large uptick in votes for Joe Biden in Michigan prompted suspicions online and an unfounded claim of voter fraud. The error came down to a typo by a county’s reporting that was quickly corrected.

As election results poured in early Nov. 4, conservative accounts on social media heavily pushed a faulty claim that a large “trove” of ballots in Michigan was “found” and that they all went to former Vice President Joe Biden.

But in reality, the numbers cited were the result of a typo that was made by a Michigan county as it reported unofficial results. It was quickly corrected.

A website with a history of spreading misinformation, Gateway Pundit, ran a headline reading, “Voter Fraud in Michigan – Massive Dump of Over 200,000 Ballots for Biden All the Sudden Appear Overnight.” It was shared nearly 2,500 times on Facebook, according to analytics data from CrowdTangle.

President Donald Trump also amplified a post insisting the purported spike in votes for Biden required court intervention. [/b,]“WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?” Trump wrote.
