If only he had not confused the little town of Buckhead, GA with the Buckhead district that is a large and populous area about 3 miles north of Downtown Atlanta.
He was showing a poorly printed ballot from a FULTON COUNTY Buckhead Precinct (Atlanta) and using the party breakdown from Buckhead, GA... population 171. The BIG Buckhead is 2/3 Democrat. The LITTLE Buckhead is 2/3 Republican. The bad ballot was from a Democrat precinct but his claim only made sense if it was from a REPUBLICAN area.
I thought his point was that ballots in R areas were deliberately misprinted to not calibrate right and therefore require adjudication. What am I missing?
Not necessarily, it could be that large batches of all ballots in all districts were misprinted intentionally to cause mass adjudication, and they would only change the rep ones as necessary. Doesnt disprove his point at all, just might require modification of scope and scale
No. His point was predicated upon the idea that REPUBLICAN precincts were seeing more mis-registered ballots. Then he used a DEMOCRAT precinct as an example of a REPUBLICAN heavy area...
that was because he got the two Buckheads confused.
I did. But his contention was that the Fulton County Buckhead precinct was a Republican area. It is absolutely NOT so. It is 2/3 Democrat, at least. he identified the party affiliation using the little TOWN of Buckhead that is in a totally different county and has a population of less than 200.
The REPUBLICAN are ballot he showed was NOT from a REPUBLICAN area. It was from a DEMOCRAT area. That ballot was from FULTON county. Buckhead, in Fulton County is very Democrat.
I saw where it clearly said FULTON on it. That means it was NOT the TOWN of Buckhead where he was reading the Republican slant from.
Look. I am done with this. The slide was a mess. He should have done more thorough research or let someone who was intimately familiar with the state (I have lived in GA for 60 years...) help him out.
As I understand his contention... he was claiming that more Republican heavy precincts were getting the poorly printed ballots.
Problem is... the ballot he produced that had the defect was ACTUALLY in a very DEMOCRAT area (Buckhead in North Atlanta). His 'proof' that Buckhead was a REPUBLICAN stronghold was based on the little tiny town of Buckhead that is about 50 miles east of Atlanta and has a population of 171.
Please correct me if I am not understanding his basic contention.

Another expert with a data fuckup.
Congratulations, you entirely missed his point.

You are still missing this important fact...
The REPUBLICAN are ballot he showed was NOT from a REPUBLICAN area. It was from a DEMOCRAT area. That ballot was from FULTON county. Buckhead, in Fulton County is very Democrat.

Might I invite you to ignore every footnote that goes with the ballot and only focus on the ballot?
