I'm a mechanical engineer.

Follow his math on the slide at ~20 minute mark and plot the Y values yourself. You will conclude that there is a good reason his plot goes downward.

EDIT: Shiva is saying that as you get deeper into Republican precincts the percentage of mixed voter ballots should go up for Trump. But mixed ballots are a mix of Republicans, Democrats and Independents. Why should the percentage of them go from ~0-100% voting for Trump just because they live in a more Republican district? They should not. In fact the data shows that at about 20% Republican district mixed voters level off their support for trump at ~35% and it becomes essentially constant. If you subtract the x-value from that constant - as Shiva is doing - then Y will go negative linearly. Shiva doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.

if so then you would expect the same results for Biden in Dem strongholds? You think Dr. Shiva, the MIT "quak" hasn't done any controls on the Biden side? He did show one county in Michigan where the downward slope did not occur. That is one control.

I guess you can also give us an easy answer to explain the Biden Benford Law violations?
