Where were all Republican poll watchers thrown out? I see no one claiming that.

The county officials where the 138k typo happened reported it as such.

Who says poll watchers weren't present where the mail transcribing videos were recorded?

Where is there no limit on the number of poll watchers allowed inside counting facilities?

I claimed that and provided a video showing that is the case. In addition to the windows being cardboarded up.

I can provide examples from Philly for example as well.

There are many many examples like this: https://twitter.com/willchamberlain/status/13236158344559943... 8am Nov 3rd you can see poll watcher being denied entry.

Another place in Philly: https://twitter.com/TimRunsHisMouth/status/13236497691353169...

Or how about when you do get inside the building: https://twitter.com/mikeroman/status/1323605665882013696

Right, kind of rehashing the issue. They now claim that it was a typo. Any and all "typos" like this is not up to the officials to "report" in this case it would be the Michigan Republican party who is required to claim and acknowledge the typo. Transparency is very important.

I do believe the answer is the Republicans?

At the end of the day we are kind of rehashing the same points. Trump is a child who incites and inflames people. He very much energized the Democrats and made the situation a huge amount of frustration and desperation. Was there fraud? Let's be realistic, there was. Will it be discovered? Almost certainly not. Will Biden be president? You betcha.

The problem is that the political divide over the last 10 years has been widening and it isn't the republicans. The lack of transparency and huge number of inconsistencies that appear to be an unfair election is going to result in the republicans moving. The divide is increasing because of the perception.

Two individual examples is a far cry from all Republican watchers being thrown out.

In the video you linked no one is thrown out, they are kept out.

Of course fraud happens, but plenty of studies show that it so rare that races need to be very tight for it to affect the outcome.

I agree that transparency is an issue, but ballot counting are state and county or township run operations. You can expect a lot of inconsistencies and mistakes. I'm sure you've heard Hanlon's razor.

Political divide is the problem, which is why I have issue with your post. You're repeating a lot of the baseless claims that are furthering the divide.
