The RSS to Benford's in Detroit is 50 times worse for both candidates

This time though, Biden's RSS is 10 times worse than Trump's while in Polk Trump's RSS is 10 times worse than Biden's

But why is Detroits RSS values for both candidates 50 times worse than both candidates in Polk county

I'll restate my instructions. I know my way around data and produce tons of reliable results with disclaimers about what can't be told as my profession, but I admit I do that as a craft and am no statistician.

This varies - but it must be palpable.
As follows - based on the graphs posted, I propose:
Two graphs be drawn, two for Trump, two for Biden.
One for each candidate each does analyse mail-in ballots, the other in-person votes.
Y axis of each graph is the maximum percentage of votes the candidate has. This is flexible. If not possible, make it 0 to 100%.
X axis is TRUE % voter turnout per type of vote, here it gets tricky. Many anons did votes/registered voters, which is strictly wrong.
It MUST be total votes of one type cast/populace eligible for voting.

At the end, there can be a consolidated graph, showing only one for Trump/one for Biden or even Trump red and Biden blue in one graph.

I'm not as fresh as I was yesterday, so that's that.

Interpretation? The pictures above give ample direction.

Fulton is large county that includes many industrial areas. A precinct with zero votes might be one that used to have residents but the population became so low, they moved the few houses in it into an adjacent precinct. The zero population precinct legally still exists but no polling place is set up because the population is zero. The airport, the world's busiest, has on multiple occasions bought out entire neighborhoods during expansions of runways or changes in flight paths. Precincts that covered those neighborhood might also still exist legally but have zero population.

>> No.12320195

>>12320177
IMPORTANT is that for every precinct a correct turnout can be calculated. If it turns out that turnout is >100%, such results can be collected in a list for imminent fraud suspicion.

The data will make sense. Isolated areas on the graph with high turnout/high candidate votes will:
a. if not prove fraud, at least narrow down precincts for investigation (from the results used to plot)
b. be sufficient to indicate that vote-padding could have happened at that precinct.

Every state, county, precinct can't be controlled by a fraudulent actor - he has to concentrate on little hotspot, and that's the analysis' strongpoint.

Even thinking of Benford's when this available!!! But it's OK, four eyes see more than two.

Facts such as lists of phone numbers, populations of cities, and election results cannot be copyrighted.

Precinct sizes are different. In Polk, there were 471241 votes cast over 167 precincts for an average of 2821 votes per precinct. Detroit (Wayne county) there are 867409 votes cast over 1115 precincts for 778 average votes cast per precinct.

Detroit had a 68% turnout for Biden for an average of 526 votes per precinct. Trump got 30.5% of the vote for an average of 236 votes per precinct.

Polk - 56.6% Trump for an average of 1,163 votes per precinct. Biden 42% for an average of 867 votes per precinct.

So wouldn't that mean that Trump AND Biden in Polk would fit Benford's because ~50% of the vote gets you in the 1,000 range while 70/30 split of the Detroit vote gets you more 4's, 5's, and 6's as leading numbers while giving your opponent more 1's and 2's?

No actual scientists will believe that your plot in >>12319939 shows any sensible relationship between the Polk election data and a normal distribution. I don't understand why you would post that, except maybe to fool gullible people.
I got my hands on the data you presumably used (https://enr.electionsfl.org/POL/Summary/2547/)), plotted histograms and computed the chi-square factor.
The distribution may look (if you squint your eyes) a bit like a Gaussian curve, but the test shows that a normal distribution is subpar at describing the data (abysmal p-value).

Most importantly, you also claimed that Benford's law applies well to data following a normal law spread across several orders. You have yet to prove that it is the case. And it will be hard, because it's not.
I suspect that you got that belief from wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benford%27s_law
>Like other general principles about natural data—for example the fact that many data sets are well approximated by a normal distribution—there are illustrative examples and explanations that cover many of the cases where Benford's law applies
But if you actually read the article further than the first introductory section, you would have learned that
>Unlike multiplicative fluctuations, additive fluctuations do not lead to Benford's law: They lead instead to normal probability distributions (again by the central limit theorem), which do not satisfy Benford's law.

I made a test program that shows that normally distributed data do not follow Benford's law.
I'll post it if need be.

Nice, wouldn't have thought of that. Mind though that it is very possible that in some precincts/areas people decided for president after media propaganda and for senate according to their local flavour.

I said previously that voter turnout must be true turnout. This seems impossible, as no new census data is available. What are the options? In no particular, no weighted order:
a. calculate turnout with old census data
b. use "votes 2012" and "votes 2016" and "votes" (2020) to calculate and identify conspicuous delta-votes (I like my own idea somehow)
c. calculate turnout for 2012 using the 2010(?) census data for eligible populace. Calculate delta-populace out of the 2016 votes. Predict 2020 populace, check for turnout oddities in the 2020 election. Is it safe to assume population just doesn't explode in 4/8 years in one spot? Important question to ask yourself.
c.

Let me reformulate this. Benford's has been recognised as being a dead end by smart guys all over the world, but every new thread on /pol/ regurgitated the shit they just read about how cool Benford's is and how amazingly distributed greasy pages in logarithmic tables are.

It's not my personal comfort that's at stake, it's literally about the USA managing to heal itself, stumble into a civil war or becoming a banana republic running on Saudi and Chinese money. Focusing on Benford's Law and disregarding other forms of applicable analysis is retarded. You want to analyse an election, how is it watertight without checks?

you guys shouldn't just be doing tests of benford's rule , you should be doing last-two digits analysis. all the last two digits of submissions of vote talleys should be equally likely to occur
whereas for made-up numbers often you find that numbers ending in 0 or 5 are more likely, and numbers ending in double digits are less likely (because the person making up the numbers thinks they'll look suspicious or unusual) . same with 69.

also, you need to look at the lowest resolution submissions you can. if you just look at state and county totals then fraud at a lower level might be covered up once it's added up with real counts.

honestly, no idea

I thought "maybe there is a general dislike for Trump across all dem data and maybe absentee and advanced correlate with precinct size"

So I made a quick check looking for correlation between the democrat y-axis and size of the electoral precinct

Got something like 0,01 for election day vote, 0,3 for advanced and 0,4 for mail. Maybe it partially explains it, maybe there is something more...

Now that I think of it, fraud should also correlate with precinct size, shouldnt it?

tl;dr Honestly no idea. I just found that voting pattern very weird.

following wikipedia suggestion, I tried an MA plot (log Bland Altmann) It didnt improve much.

I guess the main question here is:
what is driving the difference here? Dislike for Trump or fraud? And why it appears much more in the mail vote?

>> No.12326064

>>12326028
>Dislike for Trump or fraud?
Dislike for Trump is already factored into the 'vote blue no matter who' crowd. Trump had 95% GOP approval which is kinda like practical upper limit. He also had cross-voters (increased his minority support) and independents in usual split. The mail-in vote explanation is still more likely as in 'it released untapped anti-Trump potential in their liberal-leaning voter base' or something. Looking at the turnout diff delta however, I don't find that convincing either.

>> No.12326088

but maybe there is a third type of voter who dont care about politics and just hates Trump.

Im not saying it's the main explanation here, if it were it should be a much hgher correlation across precinct sizes. But this election is gonna be decided by a few thousand votes so I cant really be sure.

The fucking difference between voting mthods is the one I cant fucking explain. Maybe fraud.

>but maybe there is a third type of voter who dont care about politics and just hates Trump.
That's a huge if imho... politics are so divisive nowadays that this is very much unlikely. It's not only unsubstantiated by previous polls, but it is exactly the opposite (see: Pew stating more people vote straight-ticket than before).
>But this election is gonna be decided by a few thousand votes so I cant really be sure.
As was the last one, yes. But here we're mostly surprised by the discrepancies and suspicious behavior etc... Trump eg won all swing states which wasn't suspicious at all, since most of those states tend to 'flip together' at any given election year. Here we have a curious mix.
>Maybe fraud
I'm not saying it's 100% fraud. But I'd be surprised if it wasn't, at least in part. People tend to do things, because they can. The dems had the adv. by controlling large pop.centers and having the mail-in scheme working for them this year. I also doubt that they'd shy away from anything at this point (Pelosi even stated that 'trump is leaving the office, whether he likes it or not''). But in the end, nothing really matters, I doubt the end results will change even if there were fraud, and even if it was proven. The court will not risk a constitutional crises.

Yes, that's the 5% of Republicans who don't approve of Trump. The other 95% do. The neocons already openly switched their allegiances to the left.
For your theory to be correct, there would have to be a large number of people who openly support Trump but secretly hate him, which goes against everything that we've seen in reality. If there's one thing Trump haters have no difficultly in doing, it's proclaiming their hatred for him loudly and on every platform they can access.

It's because votes appear to be stolen from Trump in republican precincts as well

As per Dr Shiva Ayyadurai there is a clear linear clustering with structural breaks that show the more republican a precinct is the greater the deviation from 'Trump vote' vs 'Party Vote'

So Benford's should fail in a number of republican districts as well, because Trump underperformed in Republican districts

Here's Wayne County as a comparison of what to expect, showing no clear tight linear pattern and no structural break

I'm copying this explanation of the issue from someone else:

>it suggests there was software algorithm that found places where trump was way ahead of biden and gave trump votes to biden. And it scaled linearly based on the differential so that the further trump was ahead, the more votes they took.
>that would be a good way to do it because you grab trump votes without ever flipping a district from trump to biden. Or put another way, take the most votes from the most republican areas because what is the difference between winning by 75% or 78%? Once people see high differential they'll just move along. Stay away from dem and close districts because those are the places where people would look for fraud. This algorithm suggests that the areas to look for fraud would be the very districts trump ran up the numbers.
Why would anyone care if Trump got 75% vs 78%? They wouldn't, so steal 3% of votes from the heavy Trump districts

Benford's law being violated in heavy Trump districts is to be expected as well with this fraud

Eligible population is unknowable at this time. You can get somewhat of an idea once the 2020 census data comes out but the Democrats sued to prohibit the census from asking about citizenship status, so there's no way to know how many people in a given census block is eligible.
Felons also might a bit of a wrinkle. You might be able to get a count of felons on probation in an area but once they've completed probation, the state no longer tracks them unless they're sex offenders. In Georgia they're eligible to have voting rights restored so if there is a list of who has gone through that process, those addresses could be used but would quickly get outdated.
There are too many edge cases to get an accurate eligible population count. The best you can do is get somewhat close but given that some areas have significant numbers of foreign nationals, here legally or not, there can be a large variance between precincts across the country or even a county.

Those comparing Trump to senate candidates: Have you considered that the characteristics of those senate candidates might themselves impact electoral performance? In my state, TX, Cruz underperformed Trump in both 2016 and 2020 during the 2018 election, and it strains the mind to think of an explanation that doesn't involve him. Given how polarizing i.e. Ossoff vs Perdue are or that in Michigan the Democratic senator is incumbent, there are many factors for why these do not correlate from place to state to state even if there is some correlation from county to county

Gonna need a source on that. I can't find the numbers myself but last I checked nobody's perfectly mirrored each other.

Biden's -WAS- higher, but even if the difference is major that's not inconsistent with polls showing most Biden voters were really just voting against Trump (vs Trump voters mostly voting FOR Trump, by a 1:3 and 2:3 margin, if memory serves me right) nor with Rs gaining house seats despite Trump losing.

Looks to be almost entirely made up of Jorgensen underperforming relative to her senate counterpart rather than Perdue overperforming relative to Trump. In the swing states which -also- have a senate election, like Texas (125k JoJo vs 220k Libertarian senate candidate) and NC (47K JoJo vs 168K Libertarian senate candidate). It's also not a stretch at all to think people this year, even libertarians, have much stronger feelings about the Presidential race (nationally JoJo also underperformed Gary in 2016) than the senate races, which makes them more likely to cast a strategic vote against Trump if they feel so inclined. I'm sure this doesn't account for the WHOLE difference and there are other explanations as well (people who want Biden as president but think it's so likely dems will have control of both chambers of congress and thus cast an R vote to check on his powers) that account for some of it and all sound more plausible as alternative hypotheses than mass fraud. But hand recounts are ongoing right now and we will tell whether your alternative hypothesis is true by November 20.

So they hated Trump so much they didn't care to give the House/Senate to Republicans?

This just doesn't pass my sniff test (which is worth nothing, save for a justification of why I'm interested). It seems illogical that there would be a massive fear based voter turnout, but those voters would be compassionate towards other Republicans (inasmuch as they weren't even willing to vote straight ticket D). It's just not been a reality that is demonstrable in my experience.

>Working Theory
Multiple types of manipulations in play here: An algorithm based tabulation manipulation whose progress was monitored all election night. When it was clear that the formula wasn't weighted enough based on ridiculously high turnout (midnight to 4 am), a last minute "failsafe" was executed in the form of newly filled out dumped ballots. Of course this would imply an enormous Trump landslide would've occurred barring these interventions- which does fit with the narrative of the shy Trump support, his Obama beating numbers regardless of "loss", as well as his repeated claims since election night.

The question I'm working through is - how might that manifest statistically?

One of the possible logical presumption pointing to fraud is the fact how wrong the polls were. Instead of Biden receiving like 13 ppts more than T, T received record number of votes. Fraud is plausible if they had to make up for their loss last minute cause they understimated/undersampled T voters yet again.

If numbers are true on pic related, I would certainly check the 'only Biden votes' distribution. Should they be significantly higher in big D-controlled cities, then I'd say it's fishy. Common sense dictates that IF indeed many people voted only against Trump, then naturally this should detectable in every county in the final tallies.

Not true. Thousands do every year and in an election with record turnout (and we KNOW there was record turnout from even before votes were tallies, see states like Texas where early IN PERSON voting was breaking records, and this cannot be easily falsified and fits with my observations)
>That's even harder to believe. Who would want him, seriously? Even Pew showed that about one-third of his party 'supports' him, while vastly more D hated Trump. I could understand voting Yang, Gabbard, etc... but voting FOR Biden??
Pew also showed about 2/3 of Biden voters voting AGAINST Trump. Biden would have had a good chance of losing in a good economy with a traditional non-polarizing republican but such a man wasn't on the Pres ticket (even if many were in downballots)

Fraud is plausible if they had to make up for their loss last minute cause they understimated/undersampled T voters yet again.
That the polls were --on average-- not a lot more wrong than in 2016 (which is to say quite wrong) and Biden still prevailed because the margins were so much greater points rather to a clean Biden win

Conservatives literally have no evidence of fraud, so they pull the Anita Sarkeesian method of research (not that she started it by any means, but she's a notorious example that they'd hate being compared to) by starting with a conclusion first and then trying to find any evidence they can to support it. Generally speaking, no matter what your conclusion is, if you fiddle around with any arbitrary dataset long enough, you'll eventually find evidence supporting it. For another example, there are those people who become convinced that [insert pop star here] worships the devil or whatever; pore over their songs long enough, and you'll find countless examples of either the number of letters, number of beats, number of words, etc. in a given song being related to 666, or at least three metrics being related to 6 (completing 666 in an even more hidden way), and so on. It's just P-hacking in a broader context. It proves nothing.

He ( >>12327442 ) should do the same regression for Biden votes and straight democratic votes. He might find given a constant % of ticket splitters for a party, a higher % of republican voters will cause a higher overall trump underperformance relative to the straight party vote.
For example, if 10% of R votes and 10% of D votes split in a county with 200 R and 800 D that vote for their party's congressional candidate consistently, Rs get 260 votes and Ds get 740. R presidential candidate overperforms his ticket by 60 votes. Now flip it and say 10% of R votes and 10% of D votes flip in a county with 800 R voters and 200 D voters and you get the exact opposite result. A negative slope makes sense, and the "negative control" of wayne county with something like 10 data points above the 20% R distribution doesn't negate that.

I'm just going with Occam's Razor, or whatever it is. Let's look at the two possible explanations.

First:
>Biden won the election legitimately
>The most voted-on presidential election in history has at least SOME unusual patterns given its context
>People fiddling with graphs aren't going to overcome the fact that no state in the nation can find a single shred of evidence supporting widespread voter fraud

Second:
>Liberals managed to pull off a multi-state conspiracy to win the presidential election and leave literally no evidence behind
>These same all-powerful liberals also let themselves lose House seats and are leaving control of the Senate to elections in Georgia three months from now (which they'll then ALSO have to rig or else they'll risk not having control in the Senate) even though it'd've been substantially better for them to also have gained control of the Senate in the same move
>(Whether these all-powerful liberals lost those elections deliberately out of some unfathomably complicated galaxy brain scheme, or whether they lost them due to neglectfulness brought on by incompetence/hubris, is left as an exercise for the reader. Really, anyone smart and powerful enough to rig a presidential election ought to know that going through the risk of rigging ANOTHER election just to make it seem less likely that the first election was rigged would NOT be worth it.)
>These simultaneously all-powerful and asininely careless liberals are having their schemes blown wide open by random people on the internet staring at graphs REALLY hard

The first one seems more plausible by an indescribably massive degree. Besides, Trump said, BEFORE the election, that he was going to charge in with lawyers and go to the Supreme Court and whatnot. He claimed that the 2016 election, which he fucking WON, was rigged. Him screaming that this election must be fraudulent is nothing but typical. It's predictable. In a way, it's just boring.

Yes, because you're a mind-reader who knows exactly how people capable of rigging the presidential election across multiple states think. I find it hard to believe that if there was a group with enough power and control to rig a presidential election, their sole motivation would be 'fuck Trump' and they'd do literally nothing else.

>It's weirder for the presidential and congressional races to go differently than for them to align.
You're only saying that because they don't align. If Democrats were elected across the board, you'd instead be using THAT as proof of foul play. There is no amount of Democrats winning elections that people couldn't rationalize an excuse to find as fraudulent, unless the Democrats won literally nothing or something.

>You also seem to be arguing that the conspiracy was simultaneously too large and too small
Because that's the inherent flaw of conspiracy theories in general. The people labeled as the bad guys in conspiracy theories are simultaneously brilliant and stupid, all-powerful and careless. The idea the liberals rigged the presidential election and ONLY the presidential election is both too grand and too shortsighted to be believable.

You're talking about the difference between a set of only R's being polled on Presidential support instead of some mixture of R's/D's (which we don't know the methodology of, nor even specific questions asked - likely to vote for, if you were to, etc.). Not exactly apples to apples.
>Might there be a shy Biden vote
There might be, but it just hasn't come up until this moment, so it smacks of rationalizing after the fact. Honestly it never even occurred to me, as there aren't a whole lot of stories of Biden signs being stolen, Biden shirts getting children kicked out of school and/or assaulted, Biden supporting employees being harangued at work, etc. Not saying those didn't happen, but given the typical presentation of mainstream political media, I would've expected to hear more if it did.

Agreed. And the numbers you posit certainly show how it could happen, but not that it did. I am interested in the theory, but not married to it.
I'm not particularly interested in using any "razors" to attempt to persuade anyone; I find them to be woefully subjective (garbage in, garbage out). However if there are any credible witnesses alleging any chance that there could be election tampering, it is in ALL of our best interests to leave no stone unturned in our investigation of it. This isn't about the next 4 years, it's about the country henceforth. I don't think I need to explain to you about how the pendulum swings back and forth.

You're trying so hard to find ways that Biden's win might be illegitimate that your stance is "well, if it wasn't a big conspiracy, maybe it was a bunch of little conspiracies combined!" which is just fucking stupid.

>you don't account for any other chances, such as
Because every single one of these 'chances' ALWAYS ends up false. There was the lawsuit that Republicans weren't allowed to observe the elections the same way the Democrats were (which wasn't true); the 'Sharpie-gate' thing where people claimed that election officials, knowing Sharpies would make their ballots invalid, gave a bunch of Trump supporters Sharpies to mark their ballots with (marking your ballots with Sharpies is fine); the video of someone burning Trump ballots (they weren't official ballots and would never count regardless); the fucking COUNTLESS claims that votes for Democrats were coming from dead people (false every time); the error where someone accidentally added a zero to the Biden votes (it was quickly fixed, and none of the major news sites ever actually used that overinflated number); and so on and so on. Of COURSE I'm going to be casually dismissive of each of those additional theories; every single one so far has had zero merit. It honestly just seems like people are throwing out a whole bunch of false claims in order to sway people to think that "well, even if no wrongdoing has been found so far, the fact that there are so many claims of fraud makes the election results seem pretty suspicious!" which strikes me as dishonest and immoral.

We haven't found evidence of widespread voter fraud in the past (or today), just like how we haven't found a link between vaccines and autism. You're just running into the issue that it's impossible to prove a negative. No one can claim with LITERAL 100% certainty that there is literally zero fraud, but acting like fraud has definitely taken place until we've exhaustively disproved literally every single conspiracy theory literally anyone can think of is stupid. We have election observers, we have security checks, and so on. Until there's credible evidence of wrongdoing, acting like Biden hasn't legitimately won the election is just taking a "guilty until proven innocent" approach, which is wrong.

>>their sole motivation would be 'fuck Trump' and they'd do literally nothing else

We've had mail-in ballots for decades, and some states that have everyone voting by mail by default. There have been no significant issues. With the pandemic, even if you think it's not as deadly as experts say it is, pushing for mail-in ballots is just common sense. It's secure, and a way to limit exposure. The only irregularity/anomaly is Trump's constant assertions without any evidence (oh gee, deja vu!) that mail-in ballots are fraudulent and horrible.

At what point will you accept the election results as legitimate? Is there a number of claims of fraud that need to be proven false, or do you need to disprove every single claim?

The person you just replied to isn't me (the person who wrote those much longer earlier replies), by the way.

I still hard disagree. If people with all that power and control were that specifically motivated to be anti-Trump, then they'd know that Trump is just a figurehead. Making someone other than Trump president wouldn't get rid of what Trump stands for and what Trump's supporters believe in. To really enact change, especially after the Senate helped Trump install as many conservative judges as possible, then you'd need control of the Senate as well so Biden could actually get things done. To NOT do that would mean they were specifically against Trump, the individual, which is just shortsighted and petty like I said before.

>he himself knows he is lying.
I don't think so. One of Trump's strongest qualities, something that contributes to the powerful "charisma" his supporters claim he has, is his complete inability to see himself as at fault for anything. That's why he frames every single attack against him as illegitimate and underhanded, as clearly he has no faults that could be actually criticized. That's why he invented phantoms like the dreaded "Deep State", as clearly it's impossible that other people in government would simply not like him or would not want to do everything he wants them to do. That's why he always rates everything he's ever done as A+.

I think he firmly believes, even in his heart of hearts, that he won the election by a landslide, and that it's only due to fraud and other trickery that anyone would believe otherwise.

Not in the way Trump says it does, where it's a conspiracy that people within the government are underhandedly working against him in an organized manner in order to harm his administration.

From what I've read, the "deep state" typically just refers to people who are in long careers in government but weren't elected, who tend to stay constant between administrations. Trump uses the term like it's a conspiracy by the Democrats to undermine him and lie about him or whatever. It's a 'phantom' because there's no organized movement like that, unless you include Democrats in Congress who are simply doing their job.

Like, who's the leader of the "Deep State"? What were they doing before Trump was elected? What are their goals, other than, according to Trump, fighting (underhandedly) against him? How many people are in the "Deep State"? How do they coordinate their efforts? How did they originally form? Do we know even a single confirmed member? What will they be doing once Trump is out of office?

The "Deep State" is just boogeymen Trump invented.

I never made the claim there has NEVER been ANY fraud ANYWHERE. Absolutely nobody makes that claim and it's an easy strawman for someone to fall back on because if a crime is possible then some people will always commit it. Heritage analyzed cases of fraud since the 1980s and found 2000 cases https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/whitehouse.gov/files/docs/pacei-voterfraudcases.pdf - if all of these cases had happened in this election and all were perpetrated by democrats it still wouldn't change who won.
