PA Voter data dumps - what is "last change date" actually mean?
🛑 STOP THE STEAL 🛑
Just started looking at PA data, see MANY entries like this :
-
(column Z / 26) last vote date : 11/03/2020
-
(column AC / 29) last change date : 11/04/2020 or 11/05/2020 or 11/06/2020
This is not a universal thing. Note that in FULTON FVE 20201109.txt there is not 1 single vote with a "last change date" after 11/3
POTTER FVE 20201109.txt has only 2 entries with "last change date" after 11/03
MONTOUR FVE 20201109.txt has a metric asston of entries where "last date changed" is after 11/03 (approx ~4k entries like this)
