Surely the journalist class should be intrigued by the historic implausibility of Joe Biden’s victory. That they are not is curious, to say the least.

Can you demonstrate your superior intellect by explaining why these are meaningless or a nothing burger in a brief and unbiased way?
There are statistical anomalies with this election. They might be explained by the unusual nature of the election (pandemic, polarized nature of feelings about Trump, etc.) but is that enough to write them off? Doesn't it make sense to investigate them?

Re: 2020 General Election
Out of 3,000+ counties in the US, you had 19 which had correctly pick the winner in the last 10 elections going back to 1980. If Vegas had put odds on those counties, the odds 18 of those 19 would go for the loser would be like a million to 1..JohnStOnge wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 3:22 pmNo it's not.

This is like the thing where you listen to football people say "In 19 of the last 20 situations where Buffalo was a 7 point underdog and it was the full moon Buffalo has covered." It's meaningless.
I've listened to that kind of stuff over many years as a football fan and shaken my head every time I've heard it.
BTW, overall, the oddsmakers had Biden as a 2:1 favorite.

Re: 2020 General Election
Let me repeat: If you look at the RCP averages of polls there are only two cases in which the candidate with at least a slight edge in the polling didn't win. Trump won Florida when the polling said Biden was a slight favorite and Biden won Georgia when the polling said Trump was a slight favorite. The idea that something there is something REALLY unusual that suggests something nefarious about Biden winning is just ridiculous. Just stop. Biden won. The Will of the People is for Biden to be President. That's the case even when you use the Electoral College system that really ought to be discarded.
What we're going through now is more evidence that the Electoral College system should be discarded, BTW. We wouldn't have to be going through this crap where a corrupt President is trying to corruptly flip individual States if we didn't have it. The Presidency is the one office that represents all of the people and the vote among all of the People should determine who the President is.
We can protect the rights of all the ignorant rednecks with the Senate. That is enough.

Re: 2020 General Election
I have been looking at the question of whether there are valid "probability" arguments for saying Trump really won. Here is a fact check on the "Benford’s Law" angle:
https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-fact ... SKBN27Q3AI
That is what happened. Stop being in denial of reality.
https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-fact ... SKBN27Q3AI
That's just one quote. Just stop with this stuff. Just deal with the reality. More people voted for Biden nationally. More people voted for Biden in Pennsylvania. More people voted for Biden in Michigan. More people voted for Biden in Wisconsin. More people voted for Biden in Arizona. More people voted for Biden in Nevada. More people voted for Biden in Georgia.Dr Jen Golbeck, Professor of the College of Information Studies at the University of Maryland (www.cs.umd.edu/~golbeck/), said in a thread on Twitter (here) that the claims in the social media posts are false, citing the above article. She told Reuters, “There is just not solid evidence that Benford works in elections at all. The results are profoundly mixed. Which means it’s not evidence of anything.”
That is what happened. Stop being in denial of reality.

Re: 2020 General Election
I lost track of where it was but in one of the links posted I saw a claim that Trump won the highest percentage of the non White vote in 60 years or something like that. That is false. I just went back to G.W. Bush in 2004 because he was the last one before Obama and also I knew he got a relatively higher percentage of the hispanic vote. He lost among non Whites by 70% to 28%. That's 42 percentage points. Trump lost among non Whites by 71% to 26%. That's 45 percentage points.
It's an issue because the person who wrote it was making the argument that Trump's OUTSTANDING performance among non Whites was a factor in believing something was amiss about Biden winning. But it was a false statement. Amazing how often that happens with conservatives nowadays.

It is a fact that we now have a major political party trying to overturn the obvious results of a free and fair election. That is not an opinion from the standpoint of any reasonable person. That is what is going on.UNI88 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 4:48 pmThis is all your opinion. It is not fact no matter how strenuously you argue for it.JohnStOnge wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 4:32 pm
That Biden won the election is not a "Probably." He won. If Trump succeeds in overturning the results we are in banana republic territory.
Hillary Clinton is not and has never been as corrupt as Trump is.
At this time in history the Democratic Party is not as corrupt as the Republican Party is.
And we are at a time in history where having people think there is equivalency between the corruption levels of the two major parties is really sad because it is obvious that, right now, the Republican Party is by far the worse of the two. We are in the middle of the Republian Party trying to overturn the results of a free and fair election during which the Democrat won and it was not really that close. The Democrat Party has NEVER done anything like this. What the Republican Party is doing now is doing tremendous damage to our system of representative government.
It's just amazing to me that, under the circumstances we have going on now, anybody is saying "Oh well they are both bad." No. It' not like that. What we see going on with the Republican Party right now is how Italy got Mussolini during the 20th century. It should not at ALL be considered tolerable in ANY sense.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?
