This tweet shows Orange County reporting 1,039,044 votes for Garvey.
when it should have been 103,904.
I believe it was an error in orange county where they gave Garvey, 1,039,044 votes instead of 103,904. Maybe maybe not I am not 100% but that’s what it looks like.
How else can we investigate this claim.
It seems the original video is using the NY Times election results. Don't know if we could find snapshots of that during the day. Also it would be interesting to see if other sites showed these same numbers, that could narrow it down if the error originated with the NY Times or not.
Apparently there was a typo in Orange County.

People say there is a community note that will start appearing for this.
