I stopped reading the first article after this:

"We are told that Biden won more votes nationally than any presidential candidate in history. But he won a record low of 17 percent of counties; he only won 524 counties, as opposed to the 873 counties Obama won in 2008. Yet, Biden somehow outdid Obama in total votes."

>>Yet, Biden somehow outdid Obama in total votes.

If you look at the populations of these various counties it isn't puzzling at all.
