I am a Veteran who has the day off today because of Veterans day, so i took some time to do some analysis of the Minnesota results.
THEY STOLE MINNESOTA!!
they use something i'm calling the "2% strategy". Heres how it works:
-
do not let the 3rd party votes get more than 2.1% of the total percentage of votes in minnesota. I think they gave these votes to Biden over the course of the evening.
-
when that was failing, they did a "total adjustment" to all 3 candidates to keep Biden in the lead.

raw data from the new york times: https://static01.nyt.com/elections-assets/2020/data/api/2020-11-03/race-page/minnesota/president.json
pastebin of the python code i used to calculate the numbers based off that data: https://pastebin.com/0DEyqBkW
csv file with all the data so you can use it in excel and look at it yourself: https://pastebin.com/YEHWZaZD (download and change from .txt file to a .csv file, then open it in excel)
SOMEBODY TELL THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN!!! THEY WON MINNESOTA!!!
EDIT: Good call out on the significant figures issue. Great work! However, that doesn't explain why the 3rd party count was adjusted down 23 times while the biden/trump counts were only adjusted down a handful of times each.
Also, note that the Trump/Biden percentages start at 29%-69% at the beginning of the evening, but by the end of the count have adjusted down to 45%-52%. AND YET THE 3RD PARTY PERCENTAGE NEVER DEVIATES FROM 2.1% THE ENTIRE EVENING!
EDIT2: I don't have twitter or social media or anything, so please help get this in front of the Trump campaign or anyone else who can help #stopthesteal !!
EDIT3: FOR ALL YOU PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT ROUNDING ERRORS Why does the Trump and Biden percentages move throughout, but the 3rd party % stays at 2.1%??? https://i.maga.host/2Ym3Wv2.png Biden goes from a 70% lead to a 52% lead, Trump goes from a 30% deficit a 45% deficit. 3RD PARTY VOTES NEVER CHANGES FROM 2.1%
The source data is from Edison and it isn't precise enough...give me a little more time and I will upload a more precise aggregate json file containing each state's timeseries voter data...I'm almost done and PA should ready by tomorrow, with subsequent states following soon thereafter.
It's actually edison sourcing from the AP. The payload is not static either, data changes. I've been pulling down all states a couple of times a day. Running any analysis of the dataset is academic at best since its purpose seems to serve as a real time update for MSM from the AP
