This has to be one of the funniest + stupidest attempts I have seen at this.

The first part of analysis says that Wisconsin turnout percentage is up "5.5 standard deviations" - as if turnout percentage follows any type of random distribution. The number of voters in Idaho increased 30% as well - is their fraud there?

Clearly this is a result of a "virtual statistical impossibility" and not the fact that this was the most publicized election of all time.

The people that made this obviously are just assembling a bunch of claims the found elsewhere on the internet, and a great deal of it is trash.

I think it's a mistake to dismiss all of it completely out of hand, without at least examining some of the more interesting and serious stuff as well: https://twitter.com/statsguyphd/status/1324352213595181059

Hey, thanks for that link. That actually does make sense to me. I wish it was written a bit more kindly so that the Republicans would actually read it, but I will do my best to share the ideas in there.
I just can't trust the results of MI, WI, PA. Hundreds of thousands of mail-in votes that arrive at 4AM after election day were just enough to change the outcome of the election. And how is that out of a batch of 130,000+ mail-in votes all of them were for one candidate.
Because trump told his followers to not submit mail in ballots. Since this has been pointed out to you multiple times I’m curious why you think his supporters would mail in ballots despite their candidates plea not to?
