Seriously 'vote += 1' is not that fucking hard!

Yea, just the fact that there even ARE decimals involved with these machines screams fraud. I mean, there only function should be a +1 and a grand total.

First thing they teach you in statistical analysis is for results to be valid they must be able to be duplicated repeatedly. If they can't be duplicated the sample is

INVALID

It doesn't even make sense to use a double and not an integer value when counting votes. It takes extra effort to count with doubles instead of just adding one to an existing variable.

If you look at the time-series data, you have Percent for Trump, Percent for Biden, and Total Vote Count. That's where the decimals come in. For example, 52 Trump votes, 12 Biden Votes, with 64 votes total, but the data reports as 52/64 or 0.8125 for Trump and 12/64 for Biden or 0.1875). The vote counts are not in the data. You have to derive the counts from the percentage data.
