CORRECTIONS
- At 01:51 I accidentally said “Senate” when I meant “Congress”. But on-screen it says “House Republicans” so I think it still makes sense despite my mis-speak.
- Let me know if you spot any more mistakes!
Thanks to my Patreons who mean I can keep throwing time and effort at videos about this election. And don't worry, I am a prudent spender of your money: that judge's robe was hired not purchased outright. But I do now own the wig.

I go to all the effort to get “attorneys general” right and then I absentmindedly say “Senate” when I mean “Congress”. Yes I know the difference! Support me on Patreon and I’ll take a US Government quiz as punishment. www.patreon.com/standupmaths

Gentle PSA: Half of all statistics majors graduated in the bottom half of their class.

The mail in votes have a blue shift because they're moving towards you

Reminds me of the story of a man, who is terrified of flying, lest there a bomb on the plane. So, he goes to his therapist. "You realize, the odds of a bomb being on any plane is 1,000,000:1 against?" "Don't care. It's still too scary." [Reaches under desk] "Okay, take this bomb on the plane with you. Because the odds of TWO bombs being on the plane are 1,000,000,000,000:1 against!"

I lost it at 2:40 when Kelly Mcenany said “he used Z-SCORES and STANDARD DEVIATIONS FROM THE MEDIAN” as if they’re some kind of ultra-complex supercomputer algorithms and not a word salad of high school statistics terms.
-
Every time Matt says, “I’m not doing another one”, the probability that he does another one increases by more than 1 in a quadrillion
-
Of course the math was wrong, nobody can be luckier than dream
-
"If people voted the same as they did the last election we'd get the same result." Mind: blown
-
Anyone else scared by the fact that the guy certifying this paper was supposedly an expert witness on hundreds of court cases?
-
There's only one Matt Parker out of 7.5 billion humans on Earth, and this video is only one out of 4.5 billion videos on YouTube, so when (for some reason) we combine those numbers, it means the chances of this video just happening to debunk the stats in question are waaaaay smaller than 1 in a quadrillion. Ha! Checkmate maths nerds!

This number was calculated using a little know formula from astrophysics known as the "Out of Uranus" equation.

trump: don't do mail-in votes biden: mail-in votes are okay (biden gets more mail-in votes than trump) trump: why does biden have so many mail-in votes????

Fun Fact: Dream is more likely to win the presidency than to have his speedrun world record.

"Statistics don't lie; statisticians however do"
-
If it literally says "more than one in a quadrillion" and not "one in more than a quadrillion" then technically...
-
Several elections ago a friend told me that it was "statistically impossible" for everyone in a single precinct in Philidelphia to have voted for the same candidate. I tried to explain that statistics like that are based on random events and voting is not random, it is a choice. People living in a specific area might all agree on which candidate they prefer.

“1 x Donald Trump” Implies there’s more than 1 Donald Trump which is terrifying
-
"I hope America is watching here. These are real numbers" He's technically correct. They aren't complex numbers.
-
This is how I’m going to respond to people who ask “why do I even need to learn math, I’m never going to use this”. You need to learn it so you don’t fall for idiotic arguments that don’t flesh out the actual data
-
There are far more people in the world who know how to do a statistical test than those who know how to interpret the results.
