Reply to comment by ScienceWasLove in Majority of 16k canceled Pa. mail-in ballots were from Dems by TransporterOffline

1% of 1 million = 10,000 invalidated Dem ballots

1.8% of 187,000 = about 3,500 invalidated Rep ballots

About 3x as many Democratic ballots were invalidated, but feel free to spin this however you want. Republicans are perfectly happy to do this as long as the numbers are in their favor. To therm, the invalidated Republican votes are just collateral damage, so long as they invalidate more Democratic votes.

Edit: cant math this morning

There is a reason percents exist.

It would be very prudent to use these percents, especially the 1% stat for democratic votes to prove how successful democratic messaging was on mail in ballots. Especially when compared to 1.8%.

That same 1% could be used to show that 99% of 1,000,000 mail in ballots were recorded successfully.

We could use the raw numbers as you did to suggest “no wonder, we all know democrats in the cities can’t read”.

We could use the 1.8% vs 1% to say “no wonder, we all know republicans in pennsyaltucky can’t read”.

=========

An honest, non biased read would be that 98+% of 1.2+ million mail ballots were recorded accurately.
