why is there a factorio game going on

That's again why I suggested this be run over a different city

I think the whole premise is based on the false assumption that there is a programmatic interface between each state and the NYT. That just isn't true. The data is cobbled together by NEP and then periodically sent to NYT. The data includes manually entered values gotten by phone calls to election officials, screen grabs from state reporting sites, and a few direct feeds.

mmm im watching this

Again, that would HIDE this if it were true. Maybe it's not true of Philadelphia. The ratio transfer itself is suspicious. You still haven't proposed a plausible mechanism that would have ratios transfer between precincts.

This model, in fact, produces these types of anomalies. Is there a different (non-fraudulent) model that produces them?

he's simulating it in starcraft??

lol

yes

wtf am i seeing

no

no

no

no

wake up

this can't be happening

noooo

ohgosh this is

I can't take this seriously while watching starcraft guys walking around

he must have put a lot of work into this

but his method of explaining things can't possibly be understood by the people linking this around

I barely understand (I still don't think I do)

Fraction magic indeed.

I am trying to figure out how one could visualize this on a graph

not a starcraft graph

lol

wtf is this starcraft metaphor

imagine Powell summons this guy to court

and he whips out a starcraft game

and tries to explain this to a judge

HAHAHA

I used to spend a lot of time debunking PvsNP "proofs"

this is a hard problem in computer science (probably the most important problem in CS and all of math)

but it is very approachable to amateurs and it is surprising that it is difficult to solve

many people take a crack at it, and it is a trope in the CS community; people look down on those who attempt to solve this sort of problem, especially if they are amateurs (not professionals in CS)

@DrSammyD It just might be human error. When they manually enter values into the NEP system, they sometimes attribute them to the wrong precincts. In order to mask the errors, they use a debit/credit approach to move the values. Logically, you might think they would send a negative entry on one side and the positive on the other. In this case, they are doing a wholesale replacement of the values.

the reason being that it is very difficult to read through the proofs and disprove them (takes a lot of time) and they never end

sort of like Perpetual Motion machines for physicists

anyway, there is a page on the internet that collects such "proofs" for archival purposes

and in order to learn the underlying difficulty of the problem, I spent a lot of time humoring such proofs and taking the time to disprove them

fun days
