Election score jump

[SomeRandom]

A republican (if that makes a difference) told me about it. I wouldn't have paid it no mind when I saw the lag, since I can't do much about it "if" the election was rigged.

It's probably like others say too, it's just how the votes came.. so changing per collection of votes. How it works, I don't know. I'm neither demo or republican.

What is it with today’s Republicans and this denial of the election results? Like was this always a thing? I don’t remember such a concerted effort whenever a dem got into office before. But then again I’m not American or very old, so maybe I’m wrong.

Tangentially related, can I just say how embarrassing it was to watch Trumpers go into meltdown after the election results? Like I can understand being upset in the immediate. No one likes to see their political party lose elections, that’s fair enough. I can also understand not trusting the government, screw those guys.
But these were the same people begging to enjoy “lib tears” and calling the leftists a bunch of snowflakes for years.
Never have I seen such an embarrassing display of immaturity and temper tantrums from adults in my life. And I’ve worked in retail!

Granted I’m talking social media, so maybe I just caught an amplified version.

Seriously, maybe your Republican sources or friends need a hug or something. They’re worrying the rest of us. Or at least they’re worrying me.

No of course not. Each state has its own election officials. There is absolutely no mechanism by which "the government" can fake vote numbers. And what motive would "the government" have to do that in any case? And if there had been some fraud, at least some of Trump's court challenges would have had some substance and would have been upheld. But they weren't. They were all thrown out. So unless you are paranoid enough to think that Trump-appointed judges connived at denying Trump justice, that is powerful evidence there was nothing whatsoever wrong with the election.

But I tell you what does make a lightbulb go off. It's when the president utters obvious lies. Once you've seen him caught him out in half a dozen lies, you ought, if you have any brains at all, to start wondering whether what he says about the next thing is really true or not. Up to and including claims the election was fraudulent.

If you take out the election issue and your views on Trump, do you trust the U.S. government 100%-what they say, do, regardless individual politicians opinions?

I remember seeing the scores jump in favor of biden. One time there were two different scores on two seperate sites (maybe one didn't update, I don't know). Anyhow, trying to set away from confirmation biases and your hate for trump, has anyone else including the few I know actually see the score change?

I'm not political so I just thought it was weird. But I'm sure thousands of democrats would not have seen it?

I don't trust our government that much to take everything they feed to us on a spoon.

There's no political party pretext to the question.

Trump did demand a recount where at least in one place the more careful recount did find some additional votes that had not been counted, and they caused a small net increase for Biden over Trump, since Biden had a majority of those also.

That might have been more than once actually. This might not be the only instance:

Biden's lead increases in Wisconsin's largest county after recount demanded by Trump campaign

I take things issue by issue, like most people. So much depends on who in the US government says it. Also it depends on what arm of "government". If it is the administration of the president, then that is very politicised so I am careful what I believe. But if it is, say the department of transport, or a federal medical agency, then there is generally little reason to distrust what they say.

But it is not really a question of "my views" on Trump. Trump and his administration has told egregious lies from the moment he took office and that's not opinion, that's a hard fact. He started with lies about the size of the crowd for his inauguration, if you remember.
