Except he doesn't talk about Edison or NEP at all, and the flow chart has Decision Desk on it, and the AP, while the Edison page specifically calls out the AP as a competitor for their Exit Polling, at least.
I'm not convinced. Possible, but I think a top level claim like that needs top level evidence, and there are all kinds of innocuous problems that can happen with a data aggregator feed.
and that's where the issue is, these aren't votes, its numbers from a service that is trying to collect the latest tallies from whatever source and sell them to customers. the county website or source could have fat fingered the entry, the service aggregating the vote data might have a problem, its like a data version of a game of telephone and in the rush to report numbers as quickly as possible in real time to viewers its more prone to error.
I think this whole thread if off, and will unfortunately end up with everyone reporting it looking bad. The source of the data is the NY Times "Edison" feed. Edison is the name of an IBM product, right? So IBM has a feature where they are scraping County/State reported election results, aggregating them, and sending them out to those willing to pay for the service in real time. https://www.edisonresearch.com/election-polling/#two
So all this is doing is showing errors in IBM's election results service.
The right to vote is protected in more than the initial allocation of the franchise. Equal protection applies as well to the manner of its exercise. Having once granted the right to vote on equal terms, the State may not, by later arbitrary and disparate treatment, value one person's vote over that

of another. See, e. g., Harper v. Virginia Bd. of Elections, 383 U. S. 663, 665 (1966) ("[O]nce the franchise is granted to the electorate, lines may not be drawn which are inconsistent with the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment"). It must be remembered that "the right of suffrage can be denied by a debasement or dilution of the weight of a citizen's vote just as effectively as by wholly prohibiting the free exercise of the franchise." Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U. S. 533, 555 (1964).
The individual citizen has no federal constitutional right to vote for electors for the President of the United States unless and until the state legislature chooses a statewide election as the means to implement its power to appoint members of the electoral college. U. S. Const., Art. II, § 1. This is the source for the statement in McPherson v. Blacker, 146 U. S. 1, 35 (1892), that the state legislature's power to select the manner for appointing electors is plenary; it may, if it so chooses, select the electors itself, which indeed was the manner used by state legislatures in several States for many years after the framing of our Constitution. Id., at 28-33. History has now favored the voter, and in each of the several States the citizens themselves vote for Presidential electors. When the state legislature vests the right to vote for President in its people, the right to vote as the legislature has prescribed is fundamental; and one source of its fundamental nature lies in the equal weight accorded to each vote and the equal dignity owed to each voter. The State, of course, after granting the franchise in the special context of Article II, can take back the power to appoint electors. See id., at 35 (" '[T]here is no doubt of the right of the legislature to resume the power at any time, for it can neither be taken away nor abdicated''')>
Private Sector unions need to be our friends. This isn't the 20th century. Negotiating with a company that can just ship your job to asia is only going to put you out on the street. Steelworkers and all the companies that make American steel should be on the same side, for instance.
Republicans need to understand that this is the only future. We're going to take back our cities from the corrupt democratic machines, kick the vultures feasting on the decline of Lady Liberty out of Versailles on the Potomac, and start busting up trusts like the Teddy Roosevelt.
nah, fox news isn't the official count records, they're just reading whatever is being posted to the county/state election results or whatever, aggregating them, and displaying them onscreen. if somebody fat fingers a number typing it into the list on the state website, it flows through to the infographic.
the nefarious shit would happen way upstream when those numbers are being calculated on a lower level.
The few. The Shy. The 21% that voted for Trump in King County. I know there are a few others on my street in Kirkland ... can we win? Maybe if the former owners of the businesses that are now empty and the landlords that haven't gotten any rent for the last 8 months join in. If not, at least give 'em a run for their money in the State legislature and in a few House seats.
LOTR Two Towers. Just after Aragorn tells them to get the women and children into the mountains.

The Obama DOJ memo authorizing the murder of American citizens due to their speech is my #walkaway moment. More specifically, the fact that no other of my previously fellow democrats cared one bit, and actively refused to acknowledge Saint Barry could do wrong.
"Fuck, what else are they lying to me about?" I thought.
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Of all the scary "right wings" in the world, the one in the OG Revolutionary Republic alone idolizes a revolutionary military commander who voluntarily gave up power and advocates for a small government and maximum freedom. The politicians themselves may have different ideas.
"Gentlemen," said Washington, "you will permit me to put on my spectacles, for I have not only grown gray but almost blind in the service of my country."
Each States' House delegation takes a vote for either of the top two Electoral college vote getters, and it counts as 1 state for that candidate. Candidate with most state delegations that vote for them wins.
Or to put it another way ... California's reps gets 1 vote, and Liz Cheney gets 1 vote.
