[R] analyzing results from Tuesday's US elections

[Spencer Graves]

Hello:


       What can you tell me about plans to analyze data from this year's 
general election, especially to detect possible fraud?


       I might be able to help with such an effort.  I have NOT done 
much with election data, but I have developed tools for data analysis, 
including web scraping, and included them in R packages available on the 
Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) and GitHub.[1]


       Penny Abernathy, who holds the Knight Chair in Journalism and 
Digital Media Economics at UNC-Chapel Hill, told me that the electoral 
fraud that disqualified the official winner from NC-09 to the US House 
in 2018 was detected by a college prof, who accessed the data two weeks 
after the election.[2]
