19. Apparently none of the people involved have heard of split ticket voting

This is at absolute best a hypothesis that hinges on the idea that there's no difference in candidates. It's illogical that an especially unpopular administration which the Biden administration was, wouldn't be at risk of running behind other party candidates. Their alleged proof that there's more of them in swing states doesn't really work. Those states should be the ones most likely to split tickets given they are more likely to go back and forth. And then you have specific candidates like the Republican in North Carolina who described himself as a black nazi. Shockingly his poll numbers dropped before election day and he ran well behind Trump and in balance Josh Stein ran ahead of Harris.

This isn't proof or even particularly suspicious. Why didn't they compare how swing states did in previous elections? Why didn't they do any analysis of down ballot candidate quality and polling? It's all supposition that people desperately want to believe, but it absolutely isn't proof or even evidence.
