Every one of the contested states shows a larger predicted vote share for Trump than what he actually received. This is surprising, because in any set of observations, random chance might expect some predictions to favor Biden, but none do. In Georgia and Arizona, the model does not predict a narrow race, but a decisive Trump victory; the size of the anomaly is (much) larger than the reported margin of victory.
The model also performs well in battleground states that have not been contested, and thus where the election was presumably clean. Every one of these is correctly predicted, including both battleground states that voted for Trump (e.g. Ohio, Florida) and those that voted for Biden (e.g. New Hampshire)

Statistical analysis looking back at the last 5 elections per county.

Because you say so?
Show me the math.
Many states require an error rate FAR below 1% or they are not allowed by law to certify the election. 2% is absurd.

I said there should be no issues with the votes in a *random* sample size that small.
But there was. Which makes it significant.

Nonsense.
The very small size of the one sample means it's all another helping of nothingburger.
Gold star for starting to use the right terms, although you should look up what significance means in stats.

Gold star for you almost being able to read, because I said the exact same thing before.
Apparently you don’t understand how difficult it should be to find ballots *out of millions* that were switched, BY HAND, from one candidate to the other or changed, again, BY HAND, to remove the candidate that was voted for if there was no widespread fraud.
The fact that three were found in a random sample of 100 is amazing. “Statistically Significant.”
You know, because there should have been ZERO. statistically speaking, of course. In fact, the odds of finding ANY ballots showing ANY kind of irregularities in a sample size that small should be “statistically impossible.”
Unless, of course, there was widespread voter fraud.
Keep talking, you’re making me look smart as f#

I'm helping you look like you don't know junior high stats.
It might be amazing to you but it is statistically meaningless.
Statistically significant doesn't need quotation marks. It's a really important concept in stats.
Statistical impossibility doesn't need quotation marks and is another concept you don't understand. Throwing a seven with one six sided die is statistically impossible. Every single vote in November's election going to one candidate is improbable but not statistically impossible.
You might think I'm making you look smart but that's because you don't know smart from a hole in the ground.

You might be right. It's so long since I left school that it might be covered in grade school.
Either way, show me the math that says I'm wrong.
It should be easy, seeing as I don't understand simple logic or junior high math.
What are we on? Three deflections from you?

Ok, fine. What’s the chances of finding one single ballot that was changed out of the million or more absentee ballots cast?
Surely, someone who understands statistics can figure that out, right? One in a million.
But there were three found. If you understand statistics, you’d know the chances of that is even smaller. (1/1,000,000) * (1/999,999) * (1/999,998)
And, to top it all off, to find them in a random selection off 100 ballots drops those chances even further. Because you now have to calculate the odds of picking that specific random batch of 100 ballots out of that million before you can even calculate the odds of finding the 3 irregular ballots.
Statistical impossibility.
Unless there was widespread fraud.
And this is just basic odds here. Even if you were to factor in a standard amount of fraud that occurs every year, the chances of finding 3 ballots in that small of a sample size would still be an impossibility.
He’s bitching about the sample size being too small, when in reality, the small sample size is what makes finding 3 irregular ballots statistically significant.
So no, he has no #ing clue what he’s talking about.

Deflection number four and a half. You get a credit for attempting some math.
Again, statistical significance does not mean what you think it means. Neither does statistically impossibility.
You're confusing sample size and population size.
You're working from common sense but statistics are often counterintuitive. Ask any numerate sixteen year old.
All the result in the sample that size tells us is we need a bigger sample. More data. Unless the aim is not to prove anything but to keep
innumerate cultists engaged and sending money.
For God's sake, you're on the internet. You're using the most powerful research tool and learning resource in the history of mankind. Seeing as you wasted your time at school, use it to educate yourself instead of watching videos that tell you what you want to hear.
Start here . Let me know if you need any help.

You didn't check the link. You just doubled down.
We're not talking back of a cigarette packet calculations. We're not talking number soup to keep people angry and sending money.
We're talking statistics. The kind of stuff that will be taken seriously by a court.
Seriously, look up what statistical significance and statistical impossibility mean. Look at the link I posted from Statistics for Dummies or ask some local kids to help you. Work it all out and then show me what you've done.
Repeating the same old nonsense won't be any more correct next time than it has been so far.
