20 states are disputing this election, with scores for Biden as high as 781% in some counties (City of North Muskegon, MI).

Apparently Biden would have had more votes than Obama at its highest, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln TOGETHER?

The 781% claim is another of those easily refuted that falls apart on scrutiny:

Please don't AMP. Canonical link: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2020/12/04/w...

Is there an easy way to de-AMP?

I just curl -vvvvv'd it and checked where the 302 redirect went.

What’s incredible is that people presented themselves as “witnesses” and stated, under oath, stories that they just read on some random blog and not events they witnessed personally.

You would have thought the lawyers who prepped them would have stopped them from wasting the courts' time.

This is part of the reason that in some countries it is illegal report anything significant about an active investigation. You don't want to pollute the witness pool - even if what is reported is 100% categorically true, the fact that someone might know something they otherwise wouldn't have known is bad for an accurate and just investigation.

Source please and maybe population increase would explain that.

If it is so obvious, why are all the legal challenges, even the ones involving Trump-appointed judges, failing? Why can't the challengers come up with a scrap of evidence?

Sources?

That's a fantastic claim!

What county has a score for Biden at "781%"? I'd love to read more about that. Was there a lawsuit filed where I can read about this claim in some official form?
