In reply to the discussion: 172% of Voters Cast Ballots in Palm Beach Precinct 1716? Now That's Some Fuzzy Math. [View all]cmmngrnd
(24 posts)Reason #1 - The OP numbers are wrong per supervisor of elections sites. I posted the quoted material below in response the last time this was posted. I have not updated for the new OP numbers. If the original numbers are wrong, I distrust any of them.
Reason #2 - This is Florida, a state everybody knew Trump would win without cheating. There was no reason to expend energy or risk exposing any plots or going to jail for Florida. Show me number like this for the swing states, with verifiable numbers from the supervisor of elections.
"Checked the Palm Beach numbers. I'll give links so you can check me. Links given for precinct 1716, but it's the same link for all of them. Looks like the only precinct that has more votes than voters is 2512 (5 votes, 4 voters) and it seems likely that one vote is simply a change in voter registration in the 12 months since the election. The other Palm Bay precincts in the OP are not anomalous.
I didn't check the Miami-Dade numbers. Since the Palm Beach numbers didn't match the OP, it doesn't seem like the Miami-Dade ones will either.
The cited article doesn't say how they got their numbers, so no way to check what they were doing.
A last note - using percentages (175%) when such small number are involved (5 vote, 8 votes) is a standard way to make things look bad when maybe things aren't so bad. Percentages and small sample sizes don't mix.
