you are referring back to the base

@Michele411 the problem I have with this sort of thing is that there is no evidence ... it sounds like a conspiracy theory and I cannot differentiate it from something from a crazy person

(not saying he is a crazy person)

I think Benford's law may be invalidated based on what is being measured ... consider for example a particular voting precinct, the voters in that precinct are relatively fixed, most of them consistently vote one way or another and very few change from election to election

I agree Meglide that the base may effect the law

so the variation in the number of possible combination of vote outcomes is limited

I might just add a base switcher; my guess is that the law will hold in all bases and fail in all bases equally

also different regions or precincts will be strongly influenced towards one party or another

(except for small sigma)

As for whether or not it is accurate here I do not know. I think that something probably happened, but it was a conspiracy of convenience not malice. Many people probably thought it was their duty to ensure Trump not win. I, erring on the side of process, would disagree that it’s right to intervene but understand the argument. Like there are cases where I would put the outcome above the process.

@realz could be, I would be interested to know.

@realz Agreed. He is making statements that I feel is somewhat unbecoming for a higher officer.

Montgomery is not a....well...not an A1-source

its like listening to coast-to-coast

at 3 am

and there is a former officer of the military or FBI

indeed. I expect more from a general.

and he's saying he's seen the grays

very entertaining

but I don't take it seriously

some kind of appeal-to-authority

and not a very great one

indeed

which is dishonest

Aliens are an interesting proposition. Most rational people I know believe aliens exist somewhere and I agree. But no one I know, including me, would believe you if you testified you saw one. Maybe because we subconsciously believe that this type of event would be world wide.

I on the other hand support myself on the notion that the probability of life tends to 0.

If they came only with their word, I wouldn't believe it either.

@Doc Well that’s vague because I am definitely here. I interpret that as you saying it’s a tail end event.

nah, just an anomaly in the essence of science. You are not supposed to be here.

@Zuluzeit agreed. The more unlikely a proposition is the more evidence I require.

@Doc what’s supposed to mean lol

Lol extraordinary claims...

@Gypsy Just that thermodynamic enveloping of the magnitude needed for life to come into existence is statistically tending to 0.

An observation with no agenda behind it what so ever; called a "curiosium".

rare thing these days, I suppose.

There are a lot of planets though. More planets than grains of sand on beaches in the world I am pretty sure.

The universe is overwhelmingly hostile to life in the only way we tend to conceptualize it, yes. But it's also pretty big.

what do outer space aliens have to do with election2020? did they rig the election?

lol

Greys @meglide 😂

(Assuming this is true) wouldnt this be odd? Or do people normally just vote for president and not anything else?
