Another Look At Biden-Only Ballots

This morning I posted Cultural Husbandry's thread on the election--going forward, as we say these days. Included was a short section that addressed the inherent improbability of all those Biden-only ballots that turned up after counting shutdowns. I just came across an enlightening passage at a previously commenter-recommended blog (Ray SoCal, I believe) that sheds additional light--and, as a bonus, also addresses the Benford Curve. So I'll just juxtapose the two passages below--they're that self explanatory.

It says--without any political argumentation: These identified events in the voting record are beyond anomalous. They are so wildly improbable that the systemic integrity of our electoral process is called into question. Unless this issue is addressed our elections will have no credibility. That's a hard argument to ignore, but--as Andy S. has noted--its very impersonality makes it a much easier road for a judge to go down when dealing with an election problem.

This is a major reason for optimism.
