Vote Discrepancy in VA 2020 Voting data

Note: As of Update 2021-08-13 (see below) the discrepancy is now 382176 Votes.

This needs to be explained. I hope this is just a mistake on my part or it can be attributed to a documented clerical or reporting error. I’ve gone over this a number of times now and triple checked my data sources and methods (all described or linked here). I’m only using the publicly available data from the VA Dept of Elections website and a doing a fairly basic consistency check between the machine readable data (csv) and what is presented on their site.

The VA Dept of Election summarizes the voting results for the 2020 Presidential election as follows. We note that even just taking screen shots from the VA DoE website we can notice that the vote totals for the same elections have some error in them. The first screen shot shows the total number of votes in the 2020 Presidential Election as 4,486,821 while the second shows the number of votes cast as 4,460,524. Now that is not a major difference in relation to the margin of victory or the number of votes cast, so it’s not something that bothers me. The two reported numbers are close enough that it is plausible that one includes overvotes/undervotes and the other doesn’t, or something similar. But it IS a noted difference, none the less. (issue # 1)

Screen Shot (as of 2021-08-10) https://historical.elections.virginia.gov/elections/search/year_from:2020/year_to:2020/office_id:1/stage:General

The VA DoE also publishes the 2020 General Election results (here) as a csv file. (I pulled a fresh copy as of 2021-08-10 to run this analysis, but its too large to upload to the site). One would expect the data in the csv and the data presented on the VA DoE website to match, or at least be close enough to chalk up any errors to something simple like over-votes/undervotes, etc.. They don’t. Not only do they not match, but they don’t match in a very peculiar way. Let’s walk through the process of grabbing the data from the csv and tabulating metrics above in a very simple MATLAB script, shall we?


% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Import the November General vote totals and collate ...
NovemberGeneral = importVAVotefile("SourceData/2020 November General.csv", [2, Inf]);
NovemberGeneral = NovemberGeneral(NovemberGeneral.OfficeTitle == 'President and Vice President',:);
LocalityName = NovemberGeneral.LocalityName;
DistrictName = NovemberGeneral.DistrictName;
PrecinctName = NovemberGeneral.PrecinctName;

uid = join(cat(2,string(LocalityName),string(DistrictName),string(PrecinctName)),' : ');

[uuids, ui,ua] = unique(uid);
[ulns, uci,uca] = unique(NovemberGeneral.LastName);
votes = accumarray([ua,uca],NovemberGeneral.TOTAL_VOTES);
votes(isnan(votes)) = 0;
votes(:,end+1) = sum(votes,2);

isAbsentee = contains(string(uuids),"Central Absentee Precinct");
isProvisional = contains(string(uuids),"Provisional");

% Compute the sum of all ballots
TotalVotes = sum(votes(:,end))

% Compute the sum of the in person ballots
InPersonVotes = sum(votes(~isAbsentee & ~isProvisional,end))

% Compute the sum of the provisional or absentee ballots
Absentee = sum(votes(isAbsentee | isProvisional,end))
>> TotalVotes = 4462600
>> InPersonVotes = 1630833
>> Absentee = 2831767

Wait a minute?? … the data from the first link show the Absentee vote being 2,687,304. Yet the “2020 November General.csv” file shows 2,831,767 absentee votes. Thats a difference of somewhere around 144,463 votes! Even more interesting is the fact that the total number of votes is still consistent with the published summary screenshots above. Thats a significant enough discrepancy that I get my worry beads out. Now, granted, this could … in some convoluted Rube Goldberg esque manner … be just be a clerical error, or maybe I’m just missing something totally obvious about the data. But no matter the reason, this NEEDS to be explained.

Update 2021-08-10 6:57pm

I’ve received a update that further corroborates the discontinuity in these numbers. In response to a FOIA request, the VA Dept of Elections supplied a summary file of the counts of all requested and returned absentee ballots per county.

This data file comes from ashley.coles@elections.virginia.gov. It contains only two data columns, the Total Requested and the Total Returned. Summing the Total Returned column produces a result of 2,829,037. which is only off from my result by 2730 (<< 1%). So we have yet another official source of VA election data that shows a discrepancy from the official results that were certified by VA. No fancy MATLAB scripts required to process, just simple sum of the table columns.

Update 2021-08-13 3:00 PM

Looking closer at the official certified results from the VA DoE (first graphic and link above), they report that in 2020 the Total Registered = 5,975,696, the Total Voting = 4,486,821, and the % Turnout = 81.48%. They define the “Turnout” metric in the header as “% Voting of Total Registered”. So according to VA DoE … Total Voting / Total Registered * 100 = 4486821 / 5975696 * 100 = 81.48. Simple, right?

Except its wrong. Way wrong. Go ahead … grab a calculator. Try it for yourself.

4486821 / 5975696 * 100 = 75.0845 is what you’ll come up with. That’s a Difference of 6.40% from the reported turnout. .064 * Total Registered = .064 * 5,975,696 = 382,176 (rounded) Unaccounted for votes.

But Jon … you say … surely you are just misinterpreting their metric! They wouldn’t have published the certified results with that glaring of an error. There has to be some other variable that’s counted in the turnout numbers that they just forgot to describe in the header line of the report.

If that were the case, we would expect the other election totals in the subsequent rows to show similar errors then, right? Yeah … not so much. Every other year in this same report has a difference of less than 0.1%.

Remember these are the numbers that VA certified to congress. Even if this is just a clerical error, we need to know how and why it happened and make sure it doesn’t happen again. We need a full audit of the VA 2020 Election.

Summary:

In summary, I can rectify the “2020 November General” and the “Daily_Registrant_Count_By_Locality” data files to give the following results compared to the HTML web report. The additional cross check of the response from FOIA request, matches my number to within a few thousand. All of this data is provided by VA DoE. All of it is supposed to be authoritative and definitive. And none of it makes any sense.

New WI 2020 Election Fingerprints, rev 2.0

Shortly after posting some updated WI data analysis (here) I got pointed to an even better set of data to use for generating the fingerprints. This updated dataset uses the registration numbers as of Nov 3 and the per ward vote tallies provided on the https://elections.wi.gov/ site.

I also made some code modifications in order to compute an idealized model of what the Fingerprint “should” look like, similar to what was done in the original National Academy of Sciences paper. The ideal model is based on a 2D Gaussian Mixture Model fit to the locations of top histogram bins that are >= 70% of the max histogram value. The model uses a shared covariance matrix for all of the components based off of the sample covariance of the data. In the statewide plot below the Election Fingerprint is in the top right, with the ideal model in the bottom left. On the bottom right and top left are the sums of the Election Fingerprint image across the different dimensions.

Statewide Election Fingerprint, per Ward group

We see what looks like two (or even three) superimposed lobes around the 90% turnout and 40% per Biden bin, which is consistent with my earlier low-res version, and we have a lot more detail as to the upward kurtotic smear off the main distribution. There also are a few Ward Groupings that have exceptionally high % for Biden (rarely, if ever, does a candidate receive near 100% vote share), and there are Ward Groupings that are near/over the 100% turnout marker, with the addition that some of those are ALSO either 100% Biden or 0% Biden (all big red flags)!

As discussed in the National Academy of Sciences paper that all of this work is based on, an idealized Election Fingerprint should look like a 2D Gaussian (or a multi-variate normal distribution). Or maybe, in an extremely divided populace, 2 overlapping Gaussian distributions. Deviations from this are, by definition, irregular and an indication that there might be an issue with the election. Distinct linear or non-linear features sloping away from the central lobes(s) could indicate voter manipulation or “ballot stuffing”; isolated regions at high turnout +/or very high vote percentage for one candidate could be an indication of extreme manipulation or vote substitution. Now, its true that no real Election Fingerprint will look perfectly Gaussian due to the realities of how elections operate, data errors, etc … but they should at least be close!

Testing specific Wards to check for outliers

Just like before, I went through each individual counties data to make individual county specific Fingerprints. I also used the model to find a set of “interesting” wards by testing how well the ward fit against the probability density function (pdf) of the model. Wards are deemed outliers from the model if the ward group entry had (over 25 votes total) AND (it had over 97% turnout OR it had over 97% votes for Biden OR it had an evaluated pdf of < 1E-9 against the GMM Model). The complete list of outliers according to this model is below, along with the sums for the outlier wards.

New WI 2020 Election Fingerprints

Previously (see here, and here) I built a set of Election Fingerprints including WI that was based on the County data that I extracted from the NYT/Edison research election tracker, which was the best data that I had available at the time. While the results did have some interesting features, there wasn’t really enough data points to make any sort of inference one way or the other. Well … this last weekend (07/30/21) I received a dataset that had all of the vote counts and registered voters by Ward Grouping in the state, which is a much higher fidelity dataset than I had been working with.

Update 8/4/21: Not 24 hours after posting, my data source for the WI data has discovered some more accurate voter registration numbers for me to use which more accurately account for same day registrations. (The one I used was dated as of 12/1/20) I will be updating my analysis ASAP. The updated plots and analysis is posted here, but I’ll keep this post up for historic purposes.

The original image I created is replicated below for reference. As you can see, its a very blocky histogram created from the County level data points. There is a main lobe at about 90% turnout and 40% for Biden with some kurtotic streaking up and to the left with another grouping of Counties. While those features are indeed irregular and interesting, due to the coarse nature of the original per County data, it was plausible that the shape is just due to sampling issues so I didn’t flag WI as one of my issue states.

The data set I received this weekend however, is a drastic improvement in fidelity. It’s not without its data quality issues, as there was a good bit of data normalization needing to be done to get the vote tally data per ward group and the voter registration data per ward to marry up. Besides some different spellings, abbreviations and shorthand that needed to be rectified between the dataset, the registration data had any municipality that would straddle county lines labeled similar to the following format: “MULTIPLE COUNTIES, CITY OF NOWHERESVILLE, WARD 5A” along with a registered voter count. The vote count tally data had grouped multiple wards into different groupings such as “SOMEWHERE COUNTY, CITY OF NOWHERESVILLE, WARDS 1-3,4,5A,6C,13-15” along with a set of vote totals for Biden, Trump and TotalVotesCast. So I had to go through the files by hand and group each files corresponding data with the smallest size groupings as possible. There also seems to be a few (not many, though) Wards that are not accounted for by the Vote count result as well and others that are missing from the registration data. That being said, we can see much more detail in the generated statewide fingerprint (below), which also matches the “low-res” version that I had done previously. (Hooray … my results are consistent!)

We see what looks like two (or even three) superimposed lobes around the 90% turnout and 40% per Biden bin, which is consistent with my earlier low-res version, and we have a lot more detail as to the upward kurtotic smear off the main distribution. There also are a few Ward Groupings that have exceptionally high % for Biden (rarely, if ever, does a candidate receive near 100% vote share), and there are Ward Groupings that are near/over the 100% turnout marker, with the addition that some of those are ALSO either 100% Biden or 0% Biden (all big red flags)!

As discussed in the National Academy of Sciences paper that all of this work is based on, an idealized Election Fingerprint should look like a 2D Gaussian (or a multi-variate normal distribution). Or maybe, in an extremely divided populace, 2 overlapping Gaussian distributions. Deviations from this are, by definition, irregular and an indication that there might be an issue with the election. Distinct linear or non-linear features sloping away from the central lobes(s) could indicate voter manipulation or “ballot stuffing”; isolated regions at high turnout +/or very high vote percentage for one candidate could be an indication of extreme manipulation or vote substitution. Now, its true that no real Election Fingerprint will look perfectly Gaussian due to the realities of how elections operate, data errors, etc … but they should at least be close!

So that moves the needle for me as to considering WI as a problematic state based off Election Fingerprint generation. I would definitely say now that I think there are concrete signs of election irregularity in WI that deserve to be rigorously investigated. I can’t tell you if the shape of the above plot is due to incompetence, or outright fraud … but there is definitely something wrong!

Per County Data

Since I now have all of this rich data to play with … It’d be a shame to only do things statewide! I also produced fingerprints for every single county. One note here is that there is one plot that is the group of “MULTIPLE COUNTIES” that I had mentioned above due to the way the source registration data was organized and labelled. Some of the counties, look actually pretty good with nice, localized, near-gaussian distributions. Some are just an absolute mess!

My list of “interesting” counties:

ASHLAND, BAYFIELD, BROWN, CALUMET, CHIPPEWA, CLARK, DANE, DOGE, DOOR, DOUGLAS, DUNN, EAU CLAIRE, FOREST, GRANT, IOWA, JACKSON, JUNEAU, KENOSHA, KEWAUNEE, LACROSSE, LAFAYETTE, MARATHON, MILWAULKEE, MONROE, ONEIDA, OUTGAMIE, OZAUKEE, PIERCE, PORTAGE, RACINE, RICHLAND, ROCK, RUSK, SAULK, SHAWANO, SHEBOYGEN, St. CROIX, TAYLOR, VILAS, WASHINGTON, WAUKESHA, WAUPACA, WINNEBAGO (43/72 WI Counties)

Of that list, I’d label the following as “VERY interesting”:

BAYFIELD, BROWN, CALUMET, DANE, DOOR, EAU CLAIRE, KENOSHA, LACROSSE, LAFAYETTE, MARATHON, MILWAULKEE, OUTGAMIE, OZAUKEE, PORTAGE, RACINE, ROCK, SAULK, SHAWANO, SHEBOYGEN, St. CROIX, VILAS, WAUKESHA, WINNEBAGO (23/72 WI Counties)

The Election Fingerprints of all of the counties (plus the “MULTIPLE COUNTIES” super-group) are listed below:

(Another) Interesting View of VA 2020 Election Data

In answering some questions and messages I’ve been getting on my election analysis work, I took a minute and simply plotted the log-log plot of all of the absolute vote counts for Biden Vs. Trump for all precincts in the state. Real physical precincts are colored blue. Central absentee counting precincts are colored red. The real precincts seem to look about like I would expect, however the central absentee precincts fall fairly neatly on the logarithmic line, which is curious to me.

What do I think it means? Not quite sure yet as I’m still noodling things over … but it is very interesting, to say the least.

I have been censored by Big Tech for doing independent election research and analysis

Facebook has put me in “FB Jail” until Feb 7 for, I can only guess, my posting links to my independent analysis of election data and results. I’m assuming a Twitter ban will be coming shortly.

If the totalitarian fact checkers at facebook think the countless hours I have spent collating and documenting the election irregularities of the 2020 election is incorrect I invite them to please show me where I got the math wrong. I’ve shown my work, provided my sources and methodology. I’ve even made sure to not erase my errors and flaws as I found them but to acknowledge them and update my posts with corrections as I did the work in real time. I’ll happily debate and defend my analysis and the theory behind it, and if you can show me where I’m wrong or have mis-represented anything I will gladly correct it. This censorship by big tech is cowardly, totalitarian and demonstrably un-American.

From Thomas Paine: ‘He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.’

The solution to bad ideas, or ideas that you do not agree with is not to try and silence the speaker, but to combat them with better ideas.

A Midnight Spike in VA, and generation of Election Fingerprints over time.

BLUF: Discovered 55,196 vote spike in Alexandria City absentee ballots with 0 (… as in … zilch, zip, nada) for Trump or Jorgensen sometime between 11:30pm 11/3/2020 and 01:00am 11/4/2020. Generated time series of VA per county election fingerprints, and cumulative vote counts. Data sources: VA Dept of Elections voter registration data by locality file, NYT Edison time series datafeed snapshots from wayback machine.

Introduction:

So I’m still puzzled by the shape of the per county election fingerprint in VA. Multiple scientists I’ve talked to and worked with on this are all scratching their heads as to what would explain the significant structures observed. As a reminder, the election fingerprint “should” look like one (maaaaybe two for a really split electorate) Gaussian lobes, without a lot of smearing, linear features or structures. They will of course not be perfect Gaussians, but we would expect them to be somewhat close. I go into the theory and details of generating these fingerprints here, and the VA per county data is replicated below as well. It does not look Gaussian at all and is by definition an “irregularity” in the election data.

For reference I show the MN plot below as well, which still shows some slight irregularities, but for the most part it looks very clean. It’s got a little bit of kurtotic energy in the tails, but it looks like a pretty well defined 2D Gaussian main lobe otherwise. It looks like it could even have two distribution centers: one distribution center for a large number of the smaller (presumably suburban + rural) localities that didn’t go for Biden, and much fewer (but more populous) larger localities that went just slightly above 50% for Biden. Both distribution centers had about 90% turnout. The MN data makes sense to me, and other data scientists that I’ve shown it too, and it doesn’t set off any blaring alarm bells. The VA data however, remains inexplicable.

So, in trying to decipher what happened in VA, I was interested in taking a look at how the election fingerprints for VA evolved over time. Does the whole structure move fairly uniformly from left to right as more turnout occurs? Does it look Gaussian at any point in the counting process and then shift? In order to attempt to do that I need the per county vote tallies over time and unfortunately I didn’t anticipate needing to do analysis like this before the election, and so I didn’t setup anything to capture the updates to the VA Dept of Elections site or the NYT Edison datafeed. I tried to do an after-the-fact FOIA request, but it has been denied by VA Dept of Elections stating that they do not keep those records.

However … thankfully, the wayback machine does have a few snapshots of the VA datafeed. Not nearly what I would like to be able to make a full sequence to watch how the fingerprint takes shape, but its better than nothing. And while we’re at it, lets keep our eye’s out for individual counties that have large vote swings and also have statistically improbable results for any candidate (> 95%).

The earliest data file I could find on the wayback machine was from 2020-11-04T04:06:57.160Z and shows results through 11:30pm on the 3rd. While thats not ideal, that at least starts us off while Trump was still ahead.

2020-11-04T04:06:57.160Z

We can already see our “boomerang” structure fairly well formed in this initial plot, and I didn’t find any individual counties that had a large update with over 95% Biden. (Now that doesn’t mean such updates didn’t happen before this snapshot, but since my snapshot sampling rate is so low, each update includes more than one set of batch updates, and specific outlier batches might be just getting rolled into the sums.)

2020-11-04T05:34:34.206Z

We can pretty clearly see that just after the last snapshot, right around midnight, there’s obviously some sort of issue that happened with the data, with a couple of really large bumps for Biden that end up getting reversed and reverted. I have no idea if there’s any specific event that this can be correlated to in news reporting, if this is a glitch in the NYT feed, etc. But it looks like this event occurred between the updates to the NYT datafeed that I could find on the wayback machine. So whatever it is that happened, it got baked into the cake already as far as this datafeed snapshot is concerned. (If anyone has the files for these timestamps, please share!)

In addition to that we see that we’ve had a noticeable shift in our fingerprint as it looks like more low-turnout areas have been shifted into the boomerang.

Whats really interesting to me is that there was one locality (Alexandria) that had a large change of 55,196 Biden votes and ZERO for Trump or Jorgensen votes in the near hour and a half since the previous data points. From the data, it looks like these were all absentee votes, which we admittedly expect to be a higher turnout percentage for Biden … but 100% of such a large sample size … c’mon man! According to VA Dept of Elections, the absentee vote in Alexandria broke overall 84.78% (55,940 / 65,985) for Biden and 13.57% (8,951 / 65,985) for Trump. Now we know the underlying distribution is not I.I.D., so we should not expect exactly 13.57% of this batch to have gone for Trump, but we would still expect at the very least a small handful of this batch should have been for Trump. Additionally, this batch of absentee ballots makes up 83.65% of Biden’s total absentee haul, meaning Tump must have received 8,951 / (65,985 – 55,196) = 82.96% of ALL the remaining absentee votes in Alexandria, which also seems pretty unlikely.

2020-11-05T02:45:04.745Z and Beyond

After the previous batch there aren’t any more large outliers at least that I caught. But I only have a few snapshots from the wayback machine to work with. We see the remaining straggler counties start to shift to underneath the “boomerang”. If there was a point in time where the data was looking like a 2D Gaussian, it was before the first snapshot that I was able to find and get my hands on.

Excess Absentee Votes in VA

See also my previous election fingerprint blog posts here, and here. There is another, related, discrepancy in the Daily Absentee List data that I document here.

Originally Posted 2020-12-01 10:58:00 (Multiple Updates)

After computing the VA election fingerprints which clearly indicate that more investigation is required into the 2020 VA vote data, I took a look at the official VA daily absentee ballot count file and compared it with the JSON reports from VA dept of elections.  The JSON data provides a summary total of the votes recorded at each virtual absentee precinct, and the daily absentee list (here) gives all of the absentee ballot registrations for each precinct. For each (virtual) absentee precinct in a locality I summed all of the daily absentee numbers from component real precincts in order to compare those numbers with the reported total absentee votes. If everything has been tallied and recorded correctly they should be equal, or at least close.

I then compute the “excess absentee vote” by taking the difference of the number of total absentee votes reported in each virtual absentee precinct minus the cumulative (‘Marked’ + ‘Pre-Processed’ + ‘OnMachine’ + ‘FWAB’) numbers for the absentee precinct.  

I finally plotted the “excess absentee” vote totals vs the % of the absentee precinct vote that went for Biden.  Ideally we would like to see excess absentee vote == 0, meaning that the daily absentee reports and the number of absentee ballots that were counted in each virtual precinct match perfectly.  (I’ll give you a hint … they don’t.)

Outstanding Question: Is there a description document someplace where the BALLOT_STATUS (‘Marked’, etc) meanings are described.  I’m using my best guess as to which categories map to valid ballots, and I’d like to double check that.

Each dot in the plot above represents one of the virtual absentee precincts across the commonwealth. Unsurprisingly, we can clearly see that as the number of excess absentee votes increases more of the absentee vote totals go to Biden. Summing over all of the excess votes, there were 1,334,968 excess absentee votes across VA in the 2020 election using this method. Where did these 1,334,968 votes come from? (See latest updates below)

All source data comes directly from the VA Dept of Elections. My tabulated results are posted below. I welcome any / all peer review and will gladly make my code and compiled datasets available.

Note: Removed incorrect files ... see updates below

Update 2020-12-01 19:30:00

In discussions with The Virginia Project and others that have been churning and burning through this data, there was a question as to weather or not the Daily Absentee Tally dataset (which is available to campaigns by request from the dept of elections), which is what I used above includes the In-Person early vote. My understanding is that the early vote was treated the same as No Excuse Absentee, so early vote numbers *should* be included in the Daily Absentee Tally dataset. But it looks like that might not be true. The JSON files published by VA dept of elections only give the sum totals per candidate per precinct (including absentee precincts), and I used the Daily Absentee Tally dataset to map how many absentee (and early votes) should correspond to each precinct.

However, there is another dataset that I was pointed to that could be a useful comparison and way to compute the missing numbers: that is the Summary Absentee Dataset located here. This dataset DOES contain the In-Person early vote absentee totals (‘ApplicationType’ == ‘In Person’), but it is only generated per absentee counting precinct and not mapped back to the voters physical precinct. It does however break down the Absentee votes per age group, gender, and type of absentee ballot … which is nice … but not what I’m looking for at the moment.

So, we have two datasets, both summaries of the absentee vote numbers with different breakdowns, that *should* sum to give the same totals. Surprise … they don’t. Why? Unknown. The ‘In Person’ vote not being included in the Daily tally does not reconcile the numbers between the two datasets, though.

The plot I generated above, redone with this other dataset is shown below. I’ve included new csv files with the additional data (I’ve labeled as “_V2”). The excess votes per absentee district are similarly computed as the totalVote reported by each absentee precinct (from the JSON files) minus the sum count of all of the Absentee/Mail-In numbers from the Summary Absentee Dataset for that absentee precinct. This new plot does not show positive excess votes, but instead shows negative excess votes, with higher negative excess votes also showing higher Biden total vote percentage. I don’t know which one is correct, but both seem to show high positive / negative excess vote numbers that align with higher Biden percent of the vote. Summing over all of the negative excess votes gives -121,049 votes that are unaccounted for.

One additional question I have is how to tease out the rejection rate of Absentee/Mail-In votes, which might be a contributing factor for both plots. Are the numbers in the Daily or Summary absentee stats files before or after rejection? I have so far not been able to find a dataset that captures the rejection rates for Absentee/Main-In ballots.

Note: Removed incorrect files ... see updates below

Update 2020-12-04 02:00:00

So I’ve been able to confirm that the Daily Absentee List DOES, in fact, contain the In-Person “early” votes. I did this by finding my name and address in the list as I voted early on Oct 26th. The early votes are the ones marked as “On Machine”. I will also note that the date reported for my early vote was incorrectly set to Oct 28th (I voted on the 26th), which is why I had difficulty finding it at first.

So this means that:

  1. My first plot above *should* be correct in its computation of the “excess absentee vote”. Save for a fat finger bug in my code (I’m in the process of double-checking, btw).
  2. The Summary Absentee count does not match the totals from the Daily Absentee List. Why?
  3. If the Daily list is correct, and the excess vote is computed correctly above in the first plot, then how to account for the 1,334,968 excess votes?

Update 2020-12-06 00:05:00

I have revised my previously computed excess vote number of 185,713 to 1,334,968 due to finding some “fat finger” errors, and idiosyncrasies with the DAL file.

Yes, I know … thats a really big number! I’m going back over my code again to see where / if I screwed something up. I will continue to update if I find anything else.

I’ve also taken the time to clean up the plots, both with and without annotations as to which precincts were the most egregious offenders.

Update 2020-12-10 23:12:00

Happy to report that I found a logical bug in my code.  I was subtracting PreProcessed ballots when I should have been adding when computing the excess vote with the DAL data (D’Oh!).  It’s a simple bug, but produces a big difference.  Result is a much smaller order of magnitude difference in the excess vote numbers, and a much more believable excess vote tally.
This line of code:

>> abCntVotes(j) = tdata.marked(j) + tdata.onMachine(j) - tdata.preProcessed(j) + tdata.fwab(j) ;

Should have read:  

>> abCntVotes(j) = tdata.marked(j) + tdata.onMachine(j) + tdata.preProcessed(j) + tdata.fwab(j) ;

That’s the good news.

The first bit of bad news is that the Summary Absentee List (SAL) still doesn’t make much sense, as discussed in my 2020-12-01 update above.  The other bad news is there are two absentee precincts that still stick out like a sore thumb from the DAL derived excess vote numbers. Guess which ones they are … PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY (11) and PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY (1)!  PWC district 1 and 11 are both waaay outside the standard deviation on the plot below.  Another curious fact is that we see the deviation on the Biden precincts (blue) looks markedly higher than the deviation in the Trump precincts (red)

Now if we look at the summary totals of the PWC absentee precincts we see that the sum of the negative excess absentee counts of district 1 and 10, are almost a perfect complement of the district 11 excess count (far right column).  That’s also curious.  By itself I’d call that just a coincidence, but combined with the fact that PWC 11 and 01 are also so outside the general trends of all other precincts in the plot above that gets my worry beads out.

Per discussion with PWC staff, there was apparently an error in reporting election data that got caught and corrected where all absentee votes were being sent to the district 01 absentee precinct, so this might be an artifact of that issue.

Additionally, and this is something we see in all of the precinct data and in the JSON data itself.  The JSON data files directly report the Trump, Jorgensen and Biden vote totals, as well as the ‘totalVotes’ numbers. The ‘sumVotes’ column below is the sum of the Trump, Jorgensen and Biden votes which should equal the ‘totalVotes’ column, but it doesn’t.  It’s not usually a dramatic difference, but its a difference all the same.

Again, per discussion with PWC staff, the ‘totalVotes’ numbers reported by the Dept. of Elections JSON data feed includes items such as overvotes / undervotes / unmarked ballots, which count for turnout reasons, but don’t get attributed to a specific candidate.

So taking all of the above into account, and assuming that PWC 11 and 01 are artifacts of a data entry error, using the DAL and the JSON vote tallies we see that there is a good bit, but not extreme amounts, of variation in the “excess vote” and that the deviations in excess vote seems greater in blue precincts than in red precincts.

The SAL data still does not agree with the JSON or the DAL data files, and I’m still working to figure out why.

My tabulated results are posted below. Note that I do not include the raw DAL data in my results below, only my summarized results, as the raw data contains personal address information. I welcome any / all peer review and will gladly make my code and compiled datasets available.

Update 2020-12-13 17:44:00

Per twitter comment, looking at the data with normalized x-axis (as percent of absentee vote total) in order to compensate for different precinct sizes produces the plot below. Newport News City and Richmond County now also stand out, and we still see a difference in deviation of excess votes between Biden precincts and Trump precincts.

HART Voting Machines in PWC, VA

Discovered today that my county PWC, VA uses the HART voting machine systems and I have been doing a little research. Right now I’m just seeing what I can find and verify and collecting them on this page.

Biggest Find:

I found a very recent paper (2019) discussing and demonstrating methods by which to hack all of the major brand voting machines that use ballot images. It’s effective enough to be able to defeat any ballot image recounts as well. It’s a fairly simple man-in-the-middle attack vector, which needs to only install a wrapper around the windows scanner driver for the scanning systems. … and given all of these systems are using unencrypted(!) USB sticks(!!), thats pretty easy to do!!!

The wrapped adversarial payload can use some standard “textbook” (… no really … I own multiple textbooks that reference them) image processing tricks to selectively switch where the voter has marked the ballot in the image as its scanned, keeping the voters handwriting and style intact. The user sees their vote recorded, but the ballot image is altered before its recorded or counted. And auditing, or recounting from ballot images just recounts the swapped image. With a well designed and deterministic coding of this attack, re-running the same ballots through the scanner to perform a recount just re-applies the same deterministic conversion to the stored ballot images, and hence the recount stays the same. It’s a pretty devilishly elegant attack vector.

Bernhard M., Kandula K., Wink J., Halderman J.A. (2019) UnclearBallot: Automated Ballot Image Manipulation. In: Krimmer R. et al. (eds) Electronic Voting. E-Vote-ID 2019. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 11759. Springer, Cham. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-30625-0_2

Now I’m not saying that that took place in the election, but it is a direct example of a pretty scary scenario and a working example.
