You and Zero Hedge do love posting right-wing fantasies.

The official explanation - that they were dummy numbers put together for 
a mock-up of the election night coverage - is a trifle more plausible 
than the claim that this is evidence of some left-wing conspiracy.

The 2020 election wasn't stolen, and the Trump camp was known to have 
admitted that before they got stuck into deluding their supporters, and 
the incipient election isn't going to be stolen either.

The deluded supporters are now making it hard for the vote-counting 
officials to hire the temporary staff they needs to count the votes.

There's a real fear that Trump's supporters may start their January 6 
antics on November 6 this year, and sensible people don't want to be in 
the firing line.
