In my opinion it should be common sense to think the precinct level is the more 'coarse' level that tends toward a more accurate analysis.

It is less coarse -- and your intuition is correct. The least accurate approach is to weigh each precinct as the state went, more accurate to weigh each precinct as its county went, and still more accurate to weigh each precinct as it went - assuming the number of uncounted ballots is a small fraction of the precinct ballot total.

We have different definitions for 'coarse'. Mine is less mixes, less averaged, less smooth, more raw. In that sense, precinct level is more raw.

But the issue may be moot nonetheless since the offsets the dems are claiming have reportedly come from properly registered voters. It would be hypocritical (no surprise there) for dems to disallow votes of properly registered voters whose ballots were verified out-of-sequence through no fault of their own.

On the other hand, felons in pro-Rossi counties that voted illegally could be disproportionately assigned at the county level versus the precinct level. The republicans had best get crackin at checking out these purported felon votes.
