🧵 I’m going to gradually add to a thread combating the intellectually lazy GOP conspiracy thinking of the last day.

First: for anyone who shares to you the Michigan screen shot being used to suggest a 100% Biden vote batch was submitted. https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/11/04/michigan-election-ballots-mail-absentee-hour-count-update/6161367002/

Fact check: Wisconsin did not 'find' 100K ballots around 4 a.m. the morning after the election, or...
