Join us for a Faculty Scholarship Talk by Weiwen Miao!

This will be a hybrid talk; join on Zoom.

In December 2020, Texas filed a motion to the U.S. Supreme Court claiming that the four battleground states: Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin did not conduct their 2020 presidential elections in compliance with the Constitution. Texas supported its motion with a statistical analysis purportedly demonstrating that it was highly improbable that Biden had more votes than Trump in the four battleground states. This talk points out that Texas’s analysis is logically flawed and violates several fundamental principles of statistics.
