I have been reading this article by Michael Collins on OpEdNews http://www.opednews.com/... where he makes that the case that
A group of independent researchers caught a pattern of apparent vote flipping during the 2012 Republican primaries that consistently favored Mitt Romney. A form of election fraud, vote flipping occurs when votes are changed from one candidate to another or several others during electronic voting and vote tabulation.
The research he based this on was
Primary documents for this article: Republican Primary Election 2012 Results: Amazing Statistical Anomalies, August 13, 2012 and 2008/2012 Election Anomalies, Results, Analysis and Concerns, September 2012
The article claims that analysis detects that vote flipping occurred during the primaries in favor of Romney and that the likelihood that this was chance is almost non-existent.
Not being all that well versed in statistics, I can make no reasonable judgment on whether this is big time CT or something to be actually concerned about. I was hoping others here at DKos with backgrounds in statistics and analysis could comment and talk me off the ledge.
If it is something to be concerned about how does one go about trying to prevent or detect it?
