Showing Original Post only (View all)I need some debunking help, arguing against math-based claims of voter fraud in PA [View all]
https://theredelephants.com/trust-the-science-there-is-undeniable-scientific-evidence-of-widespread-voter-fraudTrust the Science: There is Undeniable Scientific Evidence of Widespread Voter Fraud
Since November 4th, there have been dozens of statistical analyses completed by data scientists, showing statistical impossibilities in hundreds of counties across the country.
One thorough scientific analysis published calls into question the legitimacy of Biden victories in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia.
This analysis was a through review of 8,954 vote updates and highlighted four decisive updates, which were the most anomalous updates in the entire data set. The experts found that each of the vote updates do not follow the generally observed pattern, and the anomalous behavior of those updates is particularly extreme.
Another scientific analysis by data scientists revealed How Pennsylvania Democrats Used Fake Voter Registration Birthdays to Commit Voter Fraud.
The analysts constructed a new metric of potential voter fraud using suspicious distributions of birthdays in Pennsylvania voter registration data. Under this metric, a number of counties in Pennsylvania have extremely unlikely distributions of voter birthdays. Seven counties representing almost 1.4 million votes total (Northumberland, Delaware, Montgomery, Lawrence, Dauphin, LeHigh, and Luzerne) have suspicious birthdays above the 99.5th percentile of plausible distributions, even when using conservative assumptions about what these distributions should look like.
Another statistical analyst recently revealed a scenario of how Democrats pulled off massive fraud in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania with ballot harvesting on a massive scale.
Another scientific analysis looked at the shift in voting patterns that occurred between the 2016 and 2020 elections to identify suspicious counties. The two with the largest shifts were Oakland and Wayne in Michigan.
I got into a Facebook tussle with a guy who just starting swallowing NewsMax. He's a friend of a friend, but I'd like to specifically rebut the claims he's vomiting from this article.
On the face of it, it's silly. I don't know how much math this cat even knows. But is there some site that features debunking of the math-based arguments that Giuliani and his crew concocted in trying to throw spaghetti against the wall back in December? Maybe a link to the Pennsylvania court's responses to the data that that Trump's lawyers introduced in their mad expostulations?

Statistician Reveals How Pennsylvania Democrats Used Fake Voter Registration Birthdays to Commit Voter Fraud
We construct a new metric of potential voter fraud using suspicious distributions of birthdays in Pennsylvania voter registration data. The basic idea is that people picking fake birthdays will make predictable non-random choices, like picking round numbers for days of the month, and not knowing what true birth month distributions look like.
Under this metric, a number of counties in Pennsylvania have extremely unlikely distributions of voter birthdays. Seven counties representing almost 1.4 million votes total (Northumberland, Delaware, Montgomery, Lawrence, Dauphin, LeHigh, and Luzerne) have suspicious birthdays above the 99.5th percentile of plausible distributions, even when using conservative assumptions about what these distributions should look like.
These suspicious birthdays also matter significantly for election outcomes. While there are suspicious counties that vote Republican overall, in general more suspicious birthdays in a county are strongly associated with a larger Biden vote share, and a higher Biden vote share relative to all Democrat presidential candidates since 2000. More suspicious birthdays are also associated with a higher vote share for Jorgensen relative to Trump (consistent with a fraud scheme aiming to get Biden high but not too high, while simultaneously giving as few votes to Trump as possible).
I'm hoping for something pithy and readable.

It's in the article. They're reporting an unlikely occurrence of DOBs on the 5th, 10th, 15th, & 20th

I don't know of any Snopes or anything..the amount of data here is too much for an amateur

I thought of that, but the "default date" computerized registrations use are always the 1st...

The full article does. It's the high frequency of DOBs landing on the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, etc

Everything they use to "expose" fraud ends up being 100% horseshit. Don't even play the game.

This is good, but I'm good at doing those types of meta arguments. They're not persuasive.
