This is just trying to hand wave the discrepancy away with more votes are still the be counted. Its admitting its true, but

“a few counties have not completed uploading their vote histories,”

And the other explanation is a hypothetical explanation of over or under votes. No proof that this was actually the case here.



> Its admitting its true

How is the statement from the Pennsylvania Department of State admitting that Rep. Ryan's claim is correct?

The problem is that there's an implicit assumption in Rep. Ryan's claim that the SURE numbers are complete and represent the actual number of voters who actually voted. If a few counties have not completed uploading their vote histories, then that implicit assumption is invalidated, thereby invalidating the rest of the claim.

> And the other explanation is a hypothetical explanation of over or under votes. No proof that this was actually the case here.

The burden of proof is on Rep. Ryan to show that the over- and under-voting in 2020 is nefarious/fraudulent/malicious. Merely saying that over- and under-voting exists is not sufficient to show something is wrong; one also needs to show that such a thing does not happen in "clean" elections. Pennsylvania is merely pointing out the gap in the analysis here.

Edit: Added missing word


Do you hear yourself? I assume you are a rational person.

Why wouldn't you expect the count of votes entered into a system to be off before everything is entered into the system? Of course it's off.

Hell, why not just launch this claim on Nov 10 and say that the count is off by millions of votes? It's a braindead argument.
