presumably the same 138,000+.
this is the “fact-checking” spin, which claims it’s false...because they got caught and fixed it!
4 Nov: Politifact: Tweets stated on November 4, 2020 in a tweet:
Says Joe Biden received a sudden influx of 138,339 votes in Michigan while Donald Trump received none
By Bill McCarthy
The screenshots showed a change in the vote tallies as they appeared on the elections map powered by Decision Desk HQ, an election data and analysis service. The photos appeared to show that in one update overnight, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden received a sudden influx of 138,339 votes in Michigan while other candidates received none...
In reality, the influx of 138,339 votes for Biden referenced in the social media posts were the result of a data error, said Drew McCoy, a spokesperson for Decision Desk HQ. They were not indicative of voter fraud, mysteriously surfaced votes or other nefarious actions by Democrats.
“It was a simple error from a file created by the state that we ingested,” McCoy said of the viral screenshots, noting that Decision Desk HQ does not make changes to state-provided files.
“The state noticed the error and produced an updated count,” McCoy said. “Once they did, we updated the count accordingly. This happens on election night, and we expect other vote tabulators in (Michigan) experienced this error and corrected in real-time like we did.”
The correction appears to be reflected in tweets Decision Desk HQ sent as the results trickled in from Michigan on Nov. 4. In one tweet posted at 5:04 a.m. EST, the service reported 2,130,695 votes for Biden and 2,200,902 votes for Trump. In another tweet at 5:43 a.m. EST, the service reduced the vote count for Biden, putting him at 2,019,899 votes to Trump’s 2,217,540...
“This kind of funkiness is typical,” said Alex Halderman, a professor of computer science and engineering and elections security expert at the University of Michigan. “Preliminary results are sometimes updated manually by copying and pasting from a spreadsheet. The error could simply be that one candidate’s totals were updated but not the other’s.”...
We rate such claims False.

should have said “allegedly fixed it”. I wouldn’t know.
