[quote=Rich Toscano]Haha, I know it’s Benford’s Law (not Theory). I’m not denying the mathematical law. I was denying that proves voter fraud in a way that somehow eluded election experts.[/quote]
I thought it would provoke interesting mathematical discussions. My biggest concern would be – did he use the right data or just make it up – which would be voter fraud fraud.
It’s all pretty damn interesting to me. After browsing through some of those papers, it seems that 2BL is a much better test- that is, checking the distributions of the 2nd digit because you get better distribution of the 2nd digit across data that is not spread across multiple orders of magnitude.
I almost didn’t post the conservative commentary link. Shouldn’t have. Should have just posted the data because it is really fascinating.
It doesn’t really prove fraud, but it certainly suggests an anomaly.
