A typo, and a correction
Mackowiak said his original tweet was “honestly” posted and shared, adding, “I have now learned the MI update referenced was typo in one county. I have deleted the original tweet.”
Davis’ retweet of the error — which had briefly appeared on national news site — was tagged by Twitter, prompting him to say, “Precisely 0% of this tweet is ‘disputed.’ All I did was compare two different sets of numbers on NYT’s website. That’s called arithmetic, and it’s not up for debate. Twitter is a cancer, and Big Tech is trying to steal the election for Democrats.”
Davis tells USA TODAY, “I was right, the numbers had no basis in reality, and everyone who had a meltdown over me accurately pointing out the suspicious data should learn to do math.”
