Algorithm Tweak Swung PA to Biden





The chart above depicts the Pennsylvania Presidential election count from 8PM EST on November 3rd to 11:30 AM EST on November 18th.

Summary
Overall, you see a hiccup (OOPS!) shortly after the start with Biden's numbers jumping up dramatically, then leveling, then declining at 16, then another spike at 18 and another decline at 19.  Trump's numbers also rocket up early, then climb with Biden's, then Trump's votes go on the same roller coaster with Biden. 

After the hiccup, Trump roars past Biden and built a substantial lead up until the vote count got to about 80%.   Trump built the lead despite an intervention that stole 17,000 votes and with a software algorithm routinely stealing .001% of his votes and moving them to Biden at routine intervals.

After the 80% mark, Trump went essentially flat while Biden caught  up and then passed him.  At that stage the algorithm was modified to move votes directly from Trump to Biden, while continuing the original "pump and dump" method of laundering votes through the Third Party to Biden.
