My point

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) Feb 15 '17, 12:58

Apologies, I am not as good at communicating as the 2 of you.

Let's say the study aggregated 5000 races across a variety of years and 20 other variables (voting hours, early voting, ID requirements, who was on the ballot, state demo shifts, etc.)

and let's say that after averaging those 5000 races together gives us the turnout gap data presented in the article.

One of the reasons I would like to look at their data is because I would like to know how many of those 5000 races showed a statistically significant increase. Is that number 2501? 3000? 4999?
