Abstract

Recently PNAS published an article refuting all statistical claims of fraud in 2020 US elections. However earlier the same journal published an article with statistical claims of fraud in 2011 Russian elections. I use the method proposed in the earlier PNAS article and find indications of fraud in 2020 US elections. This leaves two possibilities. Either there was fraud in 2020 US elections and the recent PNAS article is misleading. Or the method proposed in the earlier PNAS article is misleading and its claim of fraud in Russian elections is unsound.
