Statistical Solutions to Elections Mysteries

May 7th, 2008   (164 views )

Cover of Chance volume 21, no. 2 (which has a map of Florida with District 13 highlighted) Chance, a popular Scientific American-like journal for statistics, has published a cover piece by Arlene Ash (BU) and John Lamperti (Dartmouth), “Florida 2006: Can Statistics Tell Us Who Won Congressional District-13?”

The piece explores a range of statistical arguments to show, with high probability, that the currently seated candidate, Vern Buchanan, was not the candidate the voters of FL-13 intended to elect.

The piece can be accessed in PDF here.

It also includes two commentaries... one by myself, “Statistical Solutions to Elections Mysteries” and one by Walter Mebane (U Mich), “Counting Frustrated Voter Intentions”.
