Posted by Stephen Bauman on Wed Jan 7 14:49:51 2009, in response to Re: State Supreme Court rules against Coleman Re: Minnesota, posted by Charles G on Mon Jan 5 20:12:25 2009. 1,713 votes were added in the recount. Those added votes broke 63/37 in favor of Franken. How statistically unlikely is it that the added votes would have a breakdown so skewed from the overall total without political meddling?In order to answer that question, you would have to first determine the variability of individual precincts. If the overall 50/50 split were replicated in each of the election precincts, then that finding is very unlikely. However, if the overall 50/50 split were obtained by alternating precincts with 63/37 with one precinct going for Coleman and the next for Franken etc., then the result is quite likely. |
