I see his fundamental claim as saying that there should be transparency in election results, up to and including publishing all ballot images. He is absolutely right about that.
As far as Trump losing votes the more Republican the county gets, I disagree with his math there. If there is such an effect, it's a matter of Trump gaining votes at a slower rate the more Republican it gets, than Biden does the more Democrat it gets - something more subtle like that. The data doesn't seem to actually go the opposite direction as Dr. Shiva claims - I think he set up his variables wrong and fell into an interpretation trap.
Interesting. Well, it's good to hear the perspective of other people. When I watched Dr. Shiva's presentation, I thought it was a smoking gun. But when I shopped it around to other people who were more math-savvy, they were unimpressed. So I guess it's not the smoking gun I hoped it was. Too bad.

So this refutes Dr. Shiva's claims, is that what you're saying? I'm not good with math, sorry.
