(853 posts)Looking at Kings and Bronx where there is a 60-40 and 70-30 result respectively the actual results (number of votes) as they are now show a 19.929% difference in Kings and a 39.929% difference in Bronx.
Those two numbers look rather similar. But then again it's probably just a coincidence.
New York county looks quite close like a 2/3 1/3 split.

(853 posts)Any statistician would could tell me how it's possible that with hundreds of thousands vote the results are so similar between Kings and Bronx.
How can it show a 19.929% difference in Kings and a 39.929% difference in Bronx, I mean .929% in each county, so up to three decimal places.

What was it that the Pacino character said in Dog Day Afternoon - something like At least smile while you're screwing me.
There was some of this in 2008 in the Democratic Primary in NYC

"
a review by The New York Times of the unofficial results reported on primary night found about 80 election districts among the citys 6,106 where Mr. Obama supposedly did not receive even one vote, including cases where he ran a respectable race in a nearby district."
