Natalia Z. The most suspicious elections 2019

Homework from Natalia Z. for the Visualizing Democracy course

 
Laborator's note:

Natalia has a keen eye! She has discerned valid coincidences between the results in TEC "Nevel ship" and similar TECs in Sakhalin. But as in the case with the Murmansk Ship Commissions, such coincidence has a natural origin. Thus, the graphs obtained in our Laboratory show that the number of voters at the suspicious PECs is 17:

While the number of votes for Limarenko is 10. 17, perhaps, is a standard collective of a fishing trawler. And 10 is a coincidence, rare, but not "impossible" with a collective of 17 people. 

Image

The coincidence of results on small collectives of a dozen or two people is mathematical in nature, while the coincidence on PECs with 1,000-2,000 voters is human. 

Small collectives can be calculated both by name, e.g., "ship" and by constructing a graph, e.g., Gabdulvaleev.

The mathematical nature of the phenomenon called "integer fractions". So by constructing a graph, such as Gabdulvaleev's.

The mathematical nature of the phenomenon called "integer fractions" is clear from the fact that the results are exactly the same. It could be 3/5, 7/12, or, as in our case, 10/17.

I have no other comments on Natalia's work. Gabdulvaleev's necklace at the TEC "Ufa Ordzhonikidzevskaya" a fine and beautifully presented booty.

Criticism and bibliography

The peer-reviewed paper again raises the question about the incorrectness of the statistical analysis. But it is based on a misunderstanding: the authors rightly point out and confirm with numerous examples that the histograms of elections may well be very different from the «Gaussian» even in the absence of falsifications. Probably, they have not seen the works mentioned above and...

Review of the ROIPP report "Mathematical Tools for Delegitimizing Elections"

Yes, something must be done with our society, which «still has some flaws». It is very gullible and therefore prefers Shpilkin to Borisov. But it is necessary to implement a number of measures to remove distrust in the procedures for establishing the results of voting». It is possible, for example, to establish not only a captcha for obtaining these results, but to declare...
