I'm firmly of the opinion that nobody owes any duty to investigate anyone else's claims. But I note that he doesn't address any of the anomalies I found most suspicious:

1. In Milwaukee, why did later votes swing more towards Democrats in races they were previously losing?

What on earth was going on in Montgomery County with the most suspicious looking update in the entire NYT dataset? As in, what's the specific theory here? Or is it just "unspecified errors"?

Why do the overnight updates in MI, WI and GA look so shockingly different to the rest of the data, including updates from other blue states, other large cities, other places with an urban/rural divide?

The Vote Pattern Analysis has been deemed sufficiently concerning and viral to warrant twitter telling us that everything is totes cool because experts at the AP and Reuters said so.

You skeptics have to disprove absolutely every possible alternative, and when you do, your reward is that Power just gets to tell you the Official Answer.

On the other hand, if @AGHamilton29 's point is that in-depth and rigorous statistical analyses are less likely to viral than bold claims that fraud has been finally nailed down by this One Weird Trick, for better or worse, I'm inclined to agree.

Every skeptic is caught in a bind. It is relatively easy to find clean evidence of small numbers of egregious errors. These get dismissed as being too small to matter.

It is harder, but still quite possible, to find statistical evidence suggesting large and widespread possible frauds that might have changed the overall race. These get dismissed as too speculative.

Which is fine, and totally up to you. But be honest - you've set up an enormously high hurdle, the "dump truck" standard. You will only be convinced, effectively, by video evidence of sacks of a hundred thousand fake ballots being dropped off in a dump truck.

As of now, there is no such evidence. I do not expect it to be forthcoming.

What you conclude from that depends on what priors you start with. But congratulating oneself for one's priors doesn't have quite the same intellectual appeal.

Also, if you want to look into other sources of important and credible claims, look at @MattBraynard and @FamedCelebrity.
