Another way of saying this is that since relatively few republicans voted by mail, the ones who did (against the “advice” of republican leaders btw) were more likely to have their ballot thrown out.

It’s almost like.. they knew a bunch of mail in ballots would be discarded.. because they wrote the laws.. and promoted conspiracies to discourage their voters from casting votes by mail..

You are manipulating statistics to misrepresent the situation. 10,900 D vs. 3,500 R means three times as many dem votes were thrown out as republican. Framing it as a percentage of mail-in ballots cast is deliberately misleading.

Dems voted by mail way more than Republicans. Republican leaders know this and promoted conspiracy theories about mail-in voter fraud, discouraging conservatives from voting by mail. Then they threw out a bunch of mail ballots and whoops! who could have predicted that this would affect dems more?! That’s very convenient for republican leaders, huh.
