Only thing I would say about the 1998/2020 Elections comparison is that 1998 was not a Presidential election year, so totals drop off a LOT.

In 2022, I had a conversation with a registered voter who, after I asked who he was thinking of voting for, said:

“wasn’t Biden elected two years ago? Why is there another election?”

He didn’t look stupid. But he was.

Piton's Analysis of the AZ voter rolls found that there were 166-460k voters which were highly suspicious. These "U" voters were quite "unique" and numbered 463,000. Curiously, they all had unique surnames that were different from all other voters in the state. This is consistent with invented names. So they have no family members that share their surname:
"The U voters are almost like a foreign army. They don’t shoot with bullets but with fraudulent votes. They wait in the wings to be deployed. Imagine if you will that 23 people same age, sex and voting type were going in to vote and that 14 ballots were cast for Candidate A and 9 ballots were Candidate B.You then brought out 5 Phantom Voters from your digital army and had them vote for Candidate B." https://www.scribd.com/document/491822278/12112020-AZ-Legislature-Letter

You can read more at the link, but from the report they arrived for the election in 2000. This is why the comparison with 1998 is used. AZ registered voters increased by 24 percent for the 2000 election, and one third of them were either new or the "U" voters. The reasonable conclusion is that Bush stole AZ in 2000, and that's more obvious than the mess in FL. Social Security was discussed in the 2000 Presidential debates, and senior citizens worried about having their Social Security benefits cut are much more likely to vote for the Democrat in states, like AZ and FL, where large numbers of seniors go to retire.
