I read an article this morning about a supposedly "solid red" city in Minnesota (Chaska) being flipped to Biden this year. Trump won Carver County in MN by 14 points in 2016, but only won it by 5 this year. This makes zero sense. It should be the other way around if anything. Even I was reluctant to vote Trump in 2016, but am frothing at the mouth MAGA this time based on his record. How is this possible?
it happened in more than just these precincts, it is quite common across minnesota
the senate race had a very popular 3rd party choice, legalize marijuana now, that got way more votes than any 3rd party presidential candidate. but they tended to get votes from both candidates

Interesting. So Trump gained 86 votes over the GOP Senate candidate (+1.2%) While Biden gained 1,013(!) votes over his Senate candidate (+12%)
I think this is enough to merit an audit.
my totals were off, it turns out there was no switch. my bad!
a few things for context:
it happened in more than just these precincts, it is quite common across minnesota
the senate race had a very popular 3rd party choice, legalize marijuana now, that got way more votes than any 3rd party presidential candidate. but they tended to get votes from both candidates
it is very suspicious overall.
