the Russian leadership is not unsophisticated: of course they have access to mathematicians who could advise on how to avoid leaving these artifacts in the manipulated data.
I'd conclude from this that they don't mind others knowing they manipulate the results.
I think you can just as easily get to the opposite conclusion, that they SO MUCH want to keep it quiet that they don't trust anyone including their mathematicians. And because the leaders themselves are mathematically unsophisticated (even if they're smart in general), they didn't know that this could happen.
- dmurray 6y agoIt's not a tiny conspiracy though. It seems like the data is being manipulated for every precinct, in subtly different ways in different regions. So the manipulation is being done by whoever is in charge of reporting for each city or region, or at least they're aware of it (since the final numbers wouldn't match their tallies).
