Please correct me if my findings are wrong below.

Csv

http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=14566999163598825215

Python script

https://pastebin.com/s6YciPtt

Issue:

Csv file has the vote share columns which is used to calc each candidates votes. The vote share columns only have a precision of 3 decimal places. This leads to vote shaving, needs to be at least 7 decimal places of precision.

Yep. Same thing I am seeing. Also only happens for a few states, 15 or so and rest show no other anomolies like this so far.

It is very odd. Checking out more datasources tonight to do more indepth comparisons.

Other thing i have found is only a handful of states show huge disparity in bote percentage for biden. Trump has some but number of votes in the batch is low, where biden has many batches over 98%.
