(33,982 posts)First off, it is predicated upon this sentence: "That reveals trends should remain statistically constant throughout an election."
Wrong.
This is ignorant of phone banking, sign waving, and other localized advertising (like road signs) that are leveraged at higher rates in high population density areas.
10% is a pretty easy signal to detect, and the election boards could catch it during machine evaluation.
10% doesn't necessarily win you an election. It didn't save McLame, and it didn't save RMoney. So it's a pretty risky venture to just do an across the board 10%, when the end result might be you lose the election anyway.
Also, it's not as hard to find that guy's claims as you seem to think. Pima County Election Board actually evaluated the claims, and basically told him to pound sand.
