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.

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%
Nice work, I would just like to suggest there are not enough significant digits in column E to make the calculation in column H.
There's only 2 digits, so you wind up with jumps from 2.0% to to 2.1% rather than from 2.04% to 2.05% -- the former rounds to 2.0% while the latter rounds to 2.1%.
This could account for the swings you're seeing in column H as the total volume increases.
For example:
if we assume row23 colE is really 2.049% we get 26892 in column H. likewise, if we assume row24 colE is 2.050% we get 29089 in H. finally if we assume row25 colE is 2.049%, we get 29108 in H.
so while H is still increasing, by rounding E to two digits we see 2.0% then 2.1% then 2.0%
