Here is the Dr Shiva Ayyadurai video I am talking about:

This is my previous video on Benford's Law:

Support me on Patreon and I'll make more maths videos. Probably not on election data, mind you. (Please, for the love of plot, no more election data.)

The page of working-out from this video is on eBay with all money going to the charity WaterAid.

This is where the Kent County data comes from:

Here is the spreadsheet I show in the video with my plots:

Dr Shiva's video title is "Dr.SHIVA LIVE: MIT PhD Analysis of Michigan Votes Reveals Unfortunate Truth of U.S. Voting Systems." but the presentation within the video is called "Mathematics Analysis of Trump-Biden 2020 Election Vote Counts in Four Counties in the State of Michigan".

And finally, I know I didn't mention it in the video but Humble Pi is still cheap at Waterstones and signed at Maths Gear:

CORRECTIONS

- At 00:32 do I say "date" here instead of "data"? I think I do. I meant "data".

- In hindsight I should have said one more "subtract the percentage of people who voted by party who voted Republican" at about 06:12. But my diagram points at the right bit so it should be clear.

- Let me know if you spot any more mistakes!

Thanks to my Patreon supporters who mean I can spend ANOTHER TWO DAYS trawling through election stats and making EVEN MORE plots. These videos had better be making a difference.
