Actually there is a TON of evidence that e.g. Russian elections 2011 were heavily falsified. There are dozens (probably hundreds) reports of independent observers, plenty of videos capturing ballot stuffing, multiple cases when election papers are known to have been forged after the ballot count was finished, etc. etc. I don't know what are "reliable means" for you though; all that evidence has been outright rejected by every single Russian official or court.
- lovemenot 10y agoYes. And what bothers me about this study is that it seems to rely on our implicit understanding of this circumstance. Rather than using a set of data where they can explicitly compare fraudulent and legitimate results. Surely there would have been a better set of test data than one for which politicians are still actively serving. Unfortunately the science is somewhat tainted by the politics here since it is very unlikely they'll get independent confirmation of fraud for the test set.
