RE: So they never address the unusual nature of ballots that have only one checkbox checked, and that was a vote for Biden?
They did address it with a counter question:
FROM THE ARTICLE:
How do these folks know how many voters selected Biden or Trump for president but skipped the Senate race?” he said. “Knowing that would require individual-level information from ballots, not aggregation information about ballots cast in each race
When you add up all the numbers for all the other races and they are all 100,000 less than votes for the president, what conclusion do you think should come from that?
Are you actually defending this explanation?
It's deceptive. It sets up a straw man fallacy.
Of course we don't know the exact number that selected Biden or Trump for president without voting for a senate candidate.
But we do know, based on what the candidates stand for, that it's statistically far fetched to believe that 100K Biden ballots didn't have a missing senatorial pick.
And the way to confirm what really happened, an audit, is being denied to us.

vote tallies were observer in real time electronically as they were counted - not a mystery but is attempt at misdirection.
