In Wisconsin one can vote by party, so all Republican or all Democrat, and skip having to fill in the bubble for each candidate. The higher the percentage of votes in a precent voting all-Republican the lower the Trump vote percentage among non-partisan voters. The correlation is linear and with a linear relationship that is same for different counties. There is no good explanation for this naturally occurring, this strongly appears artificial.

Not only is it linear; it also appears to only "turn on" once the percentage of straight-party Republican voting hits 20%. The logic there may have been that in precincts that are already voting overwhelmingly Democrat, there weren't enough Trump votes to steal to make it worth the risk of detection. And conversely, that the more heavily a precinct was voting Trump, the more Trump votes (in percentage terms) they could safely steal without arousing suspicion.
