You are reading me like an open book :D
Also very few discarded ballots compared to the main-in that happened in the Primaries. Primaries that didn't have political pressure to discard or count. Now with political pressure to count all ballots, valid or not the discard rate dropped signifigantly.
If it quacks lika duck, walks like a duck and looks like a duck, it's probably a duck, so something very close.
Here are some numbers. In Pennsylvania about 1% were discarded, which could be about 30k votes in the general. There are also further issues in PA about the 3 day extension which went against state law/legislator.
Georgia has about 0.74% and I don't know how many they have already discarded. That would/could tip Georgia one way or the other.
Wisconsin is also 0.2% which which right now with 20k votes separating the top of the ticket is pretty substantial.
I would also assume as more people participate, outside of the people who are politically active that participate in primary voting this discard percentage to increase.
It's not the end all be all but just one piece of the puzzle.
Yes, 1-2% is common, so 20-40k votes at most. 5% is uncommon.

Well the GOP didn't hold a primary in every state.
