I went to the sites of the various BOEs and did some simple math. Turns out his numbers were achieved by taking the number of Trump votes and comparing it the number of votes in the GOP Senate race, which was less. This, however, ignores the issue of split ballot voting. When you do the calculations properly, which is to compare the votes of all presidential candidates and subtracting the number of all votes in the Senate race, you discover that the number of ballots just for the presidential race are 1-2% of total ballots rather than 6-7%. His cherry picking on data was picked up quickly and it was mentioned numerous times on DU.

Here’s a link to some numbers:
