Reason for downballot dropoff is simple - it’s not a mistake - it’s to avoid triggering alarm bells for GOP congressional candidates who have the resources to look into things. National campaign is spread thin on looking into irregularities, so they hide them in red districts.

Let’s say there was no downballot dropoff in VA CD1. Rob Wittmann would have people at every county courthouse the next morning scrutinizing the canvass. But Trump’s campaign? Not so much. They only have the manpower to focus on places like Philly. It almost worked.

Fortunately Trump has a legion of high-IQ supporters who have taken on this role themselves. Our little corner of the interwebs may very well be responsible for changing the course of history. Maybe this shouldn’t have to fall to the frogs to do, but the frogs have done the work.
