Musings: Addresses To Vacant lots

The 2020 Election Lies You May Have Heard

Addresses to Vacant lots

Steven Blake Crowder is an American-Canadian conservative political commentator and comedian.

He published a video that shows vacant lots at voter addresses in Nevada and Michigan claiming they were on file as addresses for voters. In some instances, host Crowder reported names and addresses that do not match Nevada voter records. In other instances, it appears the addresses on file with election officials contain typos or clerical errors. Neither instance is evidence of fraud or mass fraud on its face.

For example, he reports an address on Jackson Ave Las Vegas which is an empty lot in a commercial area of town but if you look on google maps there is a Jackson drive Henderson NV, which is a residential street,

Another is an address that was 1732 Yale street which is an empty lot, but 1731 Yale street on the other side of the street is a large retirement home so it's pretty obvious that the address was mistyped.

But bare in mind that this is not a statistic sample he is providing. In theory, just those of registered democrats. So unless he is willing to do the same analysis on registered republicans, this is just cherry-picking the data. Remember there are over 200 million of registered voters. So even if we have 1 in a million errors in addressees, there are going to be 200 bad addresses.

And the error rate is very likely higher that 1 in a million.

And speaking of cherry-picking the data, here is other claimed addresses by Crowder that are questionably due to his error or simple clerical error.
