that all of these totals are changing in mainly one direction, whereas it should be more random.

And if Trump/GOP thought this was "just normal election stuff" they wouldn't be fighting tooth and nail to stop the recount.

Palmer (and others who support the recount) have said repeatedly that it while it is unlikely Hillary would become president on the basis of recounts, it is important at exposing potential vote stuffing/suppression/rigging/machine issues etc. IOW, about voting reform and activism.

About the WI ballots. He had a source on the ground there who saw that many ballots were not filled out correctly (due to confusing wording on the ballot) but the voting intention was clear as votes for Clinton/Kaine (circled, written in, etc), which the machines didn't count, but a hand count would likely count. His source obviously couldn't take a picture of the actual ballots, so simply made a mock-up (which Palmer clearly stated they were simply examples) to show the readers of the site what the ballots she saw looked like.
