There is a reason percents exist.

It would be very prudent to use these percents, especially the 1% stat for democratic votes to prove how successful democratic messaging was on mail in ballots. Especially when compared to 1.8%.

That same 1% could be used to show that 99% of 1,000,000 mail in ballots were recorded successfully.

We could use the raw numbers as you did to suggest “no wonder, we all know democrats in the cities can’t read”.

We could use the 1.8% vs 1% to say “no wonder, we all know republicans in pennsyaltucky can’t read”.

=========

An honest, non biased read would be that 98+% of 1.2+ million mail ballots were recorded accurately.
