I’ve seen a few tweets floating around claiming a statistical technique called Benford’s Law proves the Biden campaign committed voter fraud in some key states. Thought I’d dig into the claim a bit. So…
A quick thread about math and voter fraud: (1/8)

Indeed!
My personal rule for y-axis on line charts remains:
What matters is that you show the full range of values that this metric has historically moved between. Show a nice long x-extent to make this clear, and the significance of y-variation should then speak for itself.

A Mathematician's Way* of Converting Miles to Kilometers
• 1 mi ≈ 1.609 km
• The ratio of consecutive Fibonacci numbers Fₙ₊₁/Fₙ tends to the golden ratio φ ≈ 1.618 as n increases
So Fₙ mi ≈ Fₙ₊₁ km
*This is how I do it 😅
