What are you talking about? Those articles are generic studies about past elections, there's no theoretical way those studies could have found whether or not there was an issue in the 2016 election.

It's okay to take back something you said in error in HN, you don't always have to double-down.

I don't think it's in error or "doubling-down" to wait for the "peer review", which is all I'm asking. :)

If it's not clear, I'm not saying that the paper is wrong per se.

There are ongoing lawsuits relating to this where many people of varied interests are going to be pouring over this, and other data, way more than I can at the moment.

If the results of the lawsuits validate this paper, then this paper is important.

But it's also possible that the lawsuits will not be successful.

Historically most claims of voter fraud have been wildly exaggerated, which is why I bring up the past. Including the fact that bias unfortunately colored many fraud claims in the past.

Maybe it's different this time. Maybe not. We'll see.
