People keep pinging me about "irregularities" in the election. I guess they figure I'm a straight shooter which is flattering. OK. You want my raw opinion. Let’s go. You might want to sit down for this one.
The design of the US electoral system is IDIOTIC. So...WEIRD, CONTRADICTORY results are just expected behavior.
If the United States of America wanted a reasonable electoral system with reasonable outcomes, they wouldn't have FIFTY DIFFERENT STATES with FIFTY DIFFERENT SYSTEMS.
WHY is anybody surprised that there are irregularities in this system? It is ad hoc and irregular BY DESIGN. If America wanted regularity, they'd have the same system in all the states with regular attempts at standardization.
That's right. States would have to WORK TOGETHER AND COOPERATE also known as COMMUNISM.
TLDR. My personal opinion is : 1. If you've ever dealt with really big data, then you know that weird things happen when you have hundreds of millions of observations. 2. The electoral system isn't well-designed enough to detect outlier events with much precision.
