Graph Shows Fraud in Russian Elections

Posted by Zonk on from the little-to-the-left dept.

gaika writes "A graph in the best traditions of Edward Tufte shows how the voting was rigged in Russian parliament elections. Initially some regions were showing higher than 100% attendance, but later on everything was corrected, or way too much corrected, as the correlation between winning party's vote and attendance now stands at 90%. I guess the people who have rigged the vote have never heard about Correlation Cofficient."

    So, where's the graphs showing the election fraud going on in the U.S.? Did Homeland Security censor them, perhaps? Doubtful, the neo-nazi's can't even secure Los Alamos.

    Welcome to Amerikkka, the land of the ignorant and the home of the slave.

    Is that all it takes to get a post up on Slashdot?

    Put together three obscure charts, 4 lines of text and say it's about election rigging in Russia, and bingo - you've made it as a Slashdot article.

    No need for the source post to be a reputable source! Or for the material to be from a commentator of any provenance! No need for anyone to fact check the material or even to check to see if it makes any sense at all! Just give it a snarky, anti-Russian topic and you have a shoo-in for Slashdot, no matter how insubstantial the subject article!

    Editorial standards at Slashdot have taken another big dive. Get off the glue guys.
