I think most of us know ~ 140K votes were added to the Biden vote count suddenly in the early morning hours of Nov 4th, but here are some more details:

The submittal @ 6:31 AM just prior to this magic adjustment looked like this:

{"vote_shares":{"trumpd":0.513,"bidenj":0.47},"votes":4574555,"eevp":81,"eevp_source":"edison","timestamp":"2020-11-04T11:31:48Z"}

Fairly standard, with this submittal of ~9,380 new votes (you need the PRIOR timestamp to do that calculation), MI had ~83% of ALL votes counted, & the President had a comfortable 51.3% - 47.0% (4.3%) lead.

5 seconds later, that all changed:

{"vote_shares":{"trumpd":0.498,"bidenj":0.485},"votes":4724327,"eevp":83,"eevp_source":"edison","timestamp":"2020-11-04T11:31:53Z"}

New votes = 4,724,327 (from this timestamp) -4,574,555 (from timestamp above) = a whopping 149,772 new votes in 5 seconds! This MONSTER was 3% of all MI votes, which means were now 86% done!

After this single vote drop, notice the lead is now 49.8%-48.5% (The President's lead was cut from 4.3% to 1.3% in 5 seconds!) The only other 2 bulk loads larger than this, both loaded the prior day, took much longer to load, but I digress.

How were these new votes split? - we can calculate from the timestamps above: Biden went from (4,724,327)*48.5% new - (4,574,555)*47% old = 141,258 new Biden votes during these 5 seconds.

The President went from (4,724,327)*49.8% new - (4,574,555)*51.3% old = 5,968 new Trump votes during these same 5 seconds;

To Summarize: Joe Biden received 94.3% (141,258/149,772) of these new votes, while the President only 4.0%. (5,968/149,772)

2 hours & 16 vote drops later, the President's lead was completely eliminated, and Biden was ahead for good.

MY OTHER POSTS:

25 times Biden received > 100% of New Votes Reported in Pennsylvania (= 258,548 votes)

w/ 93% of WI vote in, Trump's 108,656 vote (3.6%) lead VANISHES @4:42A (+143,379 Biden votes)

9 times TRUMP'S VOTECOUNT DECREASED WHEN NEW VOTES CAME INTO GEORGIA (= -17,408 votes)

3% eh? That seems to be the magic number talked about.
