For all of the arm waving about fraud — and precious little evidence in more than two dozen court cases — the Trump campaign seems to have landed on increases in certain counties as being dispositive. Let's take Fulton County, for example ... 1/x

Republicans (who are not the secretary of state) seem to think that the increase in votes in Fulton are evidence. And Fulton did have an increase in votes from 2016. +85,908 in total votes, + 84,090 votes for democratic candidate. 2/x

But if that fact alone is evidence of fraud, what about Miami-Dade? From 2016 to 2020 Miami-Dade's turnout is + 171,727 votes.

And Trump is +198,834. 3/x

Trump gained almost 200,000 votes on 171,727 more votes cast. Where are the cries of fraud?

If the integrity of the process is important to you, you must be VERY worried about voter fraud in Miami if you are worried about Atlanta. Twice as worried, in fact. 4/x

And if you are not... then maybe these numbers are not and indication of fraud, and the worry is a partisan one, not a patriotic one.

If it sounds to you like I am subtweeting half of my family who are now VERY CONCERNED about the process, you're not wrong. 5/x

TL;DR

Sometimes a lot of people vote in elections, particularly when interest is high. Occam's Razor applies here. Just because your person lost doesn't make it fraud. /fin
