Vote Fraud: An American Tradition Про одну из главных американских скреп, жульничество на выборах https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/when-b https://americanfreepress.net/vote-frau New Perspectives on Election Fraud in the Gilded Age Stealing and rigging elections: An American tradition ELECTORAL FRAUD: Causes, Types, and Consequences ...Another way to gauge the magnitude of fraud is to correct for the impact of ballot rigging on vote totals. The most creative and sensitive effort to assess the impact of fraud is Powell's (1989) statistical analysis of the 1868 Mississippi ratification election. In June 1868, 53.4% of the voters rejected the Republican-inspired constitution, a charter that threatened to bar former white (and Democratic) officials from ever holding office again. Powell uses regression analysis of the 61 counties to identify outliers-places with large shares of black registered voters who rejected the proposed constitution. By correcting results in these counties based on vote totals and approval rates in normal counties, Powell plausibly argues that the vote should have been 52.5% in favor and 47.5% against the constitution. Because the outlier counties tend to be the places with allegations of fraud, Powell (1989, p. 651) suggests that the "swing vote was the stolen vote." King (2001) also uses ecological analysis of 32 counties to argue that South Carolinian Democrats stole the gubernatorial election from the Republican candidate, Daniel Chamberlain, in the 1876 elections. Vote Fraud a Tradition in Political Yesteryear "Now, voter fraud is almost an issue of ancient history in the United States, but it was once a very serious problem as long as there were powerful and often corrupt big-city machines, the Curley machine in Boston, the Hague machine in Jersey City, the Daley machine in Chicago," said Stephen Hess, a political scientist and expert on elections at the Brookings Institution, a nonpartisan think tank in Washington. (The Daley machine allegedly helped Kennedy win Illinois in 1960.) * * * Специально брал тексты, написанные до выборов 2020-го, потому что после оно стало слишком политически ангажировано, даже релевантные статьи в Википедии переписали целиком, с удалением известных из истории подробностей.
