2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Youre not just imagining it: the Hillary Clinton vs Donald Trump vote totals do look rigged [View all]Coyotl
(15,262 posts)39. Senate race states have a higher red shift. Battleground states have a higher red shift too.

The battleground states have polls with large numbers of respondents in both pre-election and exit polling. Therefore, they are more accurate, less margin of error; what they tell us is more reliable than in other states. See in the graphic how closely the two poll numbers match in the battleground. So, either the science of statistics has become flawed recently or something is very wrong. Two things could be wrong, the vote count or the science involved in polling. The statistics hasn't changed since the national average was a 1.45% red shift in 2004. Now in 2016, in the 20 Senate race states, the average is more than triple that at 4.7%, same as the mean of the four battleground states. The red shift is a multiple of the margin of error!

Conspiracy theory is a dismissive term, and unworthy of the gravity of the situation.
