"172% of Voters Cast Ballots in Palm Beach Precinct 1716? Now That's Some Fuzzy Math."

6. OP Numbers Incorrect per Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections - No Apparent Issue Here

Checked the Palm Beach numbers. I'll give links so you can check me. Links given for precinct 1716, but it's the same link for all of them. Looks like the only precinct that has more votes than voters is 2512 (5 votes, 4 voters) and it seems likely that one vote is simply a change in voter registration in the 12 months since the election. The other Palm Bay precincts in the OP are not anomalous.

I didn't check the Miami-Dade numbers. Since the Palm Beach numbers didn't match the OP, it doesn't seem like the Miami-Dade ones will either.

The cited article doesn't say how they got their numbers, so no way to check what they were doing.

A last note - using percentages (175%) when such small number are involved (5 vote, 8 votes) is a standard way to make things look bad when maybe things aren't so bad. Percentages and small sample sizes don't mix.
