There are well over 2 dozen precincts in district 8 that did receive hand recounts, so how would you explain them finding no notable anomalies, only occasional undervotes and overvotes due to ballot marking errors

your hypothesis states that at its 96% turnout, we could expect about 10% discrepancy between votes counted by hand vs by machine, but the actual difference was 0.000000%

how do you square this with the hand counts that the secretary of state has already done? For instance, we have a complete recount of pricinct 0095, cherry township. https://www.sos.mn.gov/media/ixzn1dkx/2024-post-election-review-results.pdf

I think you've looked into this before but I was shocked to hear that the 5 largest districts in Allegheny county went heavily Trump. Then I looked at demographics and historical data and there was no change to speak of from 2020.

Is there a specific reason to reject the null hypothesis in this specific county, that voters in small townships expectedly skew towards trump?

Do you think it’s an honest way to present the info when you say hand counts represent 30% of precincts, which may be true, but not mentioning it’s 5% of voters in the county? You’ve sampled 5300 votes that are all geographically distinct from the average vote in that county.

is it impossible for you to find normal results? I think you squarely didn’t overcome the null hypothesis, which is that people living in small townships lean towards trump much more than the voters of Duluth.

ah i should have caught on that i captured hidden cells between my shown cells in my sum. This makes a lot more sense. Of course the critique that Duluth leans D compared to a collection of townships with less than 300 voters each that did hand count should be pretty apparent

We should suspend all of our current moral panics until we come to terms with the fact that a century of police procedural has turned the average American into a paranoid snitch. True crime is an extension of this moral decay

i think this is the best encapsulation of how libs like to think of anyone to the left of them. “they have distasteful opinions of history that disagree with mine.” “They also have never read anything despite them constantly linking to marxists dot org”

someone suggested that you simply read what marx says if you want to know what tankies thought of the american civil war, but a response claims online tankies haven’t read marx.

does anyone in the democrat party mainstream have any message to trans people about how we belong anywhere in this country or does the tent big enough for chuck schumer's bailey family somehow not contain space for one of the smallest and most embattled minority groups in america

i can only say that i recently emailed @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social seeking some clarity after his 2024 campaign ads pointed out that he "agrees with DeWine" and have thus far received no response.

For full disclosure, here are my raw numbers. I would raise that all handcounts were done in townships, representing a small portion of the county that Duluth is in, but that doesn't seem super relavent since the data isn't actually all that different.

a chart that shows my raw totals and percentages from St Louis County MN

knives @knives.motorcycles · 13d

Hey I have a couple questions. I pulled MN voter data and my results squarely do no align with yours for hand count vs machine tabulated in St Louis county. I have Trump recieving 57% of handcounted votes and 55% of machine counted votes. Can you share more about this chart?

(wisely) the stock market is up 500 points, therefore this was objectively a good thing because it increased overall economic utility

i feel like the nra coming out in opposition to bans on trans firearm ownership has to be because they think that trans people will make up a meaningful portion of the revenue for gun manufacturers
