Distribution of VHL Entries for selected VA Localities

MAJOR CORRECTION (2022-07-17): The below analysis incorrectly computed the CSV totals for each of the 3 counties. I had an indexing error into my CSV file list and erroneously computed the 2020 totals from the CSV’s. I have since updated and recomputed all of the VHL and CSV results, and have additionally added a check …

Vanishing Voter ID’s in sequential 2021 DAL files

The 300K VA Ballots Outstanding and At-Risk Claim is Incorrect.

There’s a (IMO frivolous) lawsuit by Mark Elias (here) against the USPO that is causing people to think that there are > 300K outstanding mail-in ballots in VA. According to the VA Dept of Elections data, this is just factually incorrect. There are not 300K outstanding absentee ballots floating around. There is < 100K as …

GALAX CITY “Marked +/or Pre-Processed” Vote Tally Decreases … why?

Per request by a reviewer of my most recent election irregularities report in VA (here), here’s a little more technical detail as to how the “ideal” model is computed in accordance with the original 2012 National Academy of Sciences paper that I based this work off of. The generalized summary in my report for VA …
