Review context
These calculated indicators are prompts for checking source data, reporting grain, denominators, and local context. They are not evidence or findings of fraud, misconduct, or an incorrect election outcome.
Average President-vs-down-ballot difference crossed threshold: DEM -13.13%, REP 10.68%.
The average gap between presidential votes and same-party down-ballot votes is large enough to review. Split-ticket voting can explain some gap; this flag identifies areas needing supporting records.
Drop-off outlier count crossed threshold: DEM 7, REP 0, trigger 3.
Enough local result rows have unusually large President-versus-down-ballot differences to pass the outlier-count threshold. This is an advisory review flag, not proof of tampering.

County-level historical baseline rows resolve to Census county FIPS tags. Dem/Rep candidate totals are official workbook totals; other_votes exclude separate write-in canvass votes because the official export does not allocate them into county rows.Open sourceMontana Secretary of State
Candidate-level precinct rows for President and U.S. Senate in one official workbook. Presidential write-ins are not included in this workbook, so the native metrics expose a 27-vote statewide certified gap against the canvass total.Open sourceU.S. Election Assistance Commission

Verified Voting Verifier data is jurisdiction-level election-administration context. Most rows are counties, but some states report state-level rows and some county rows can summarize mixed tabulation, accessible-device, absentee, poll-book, or other configurations. Treat it as source-linked context, not proof every precinct in a county used one identical setup, and not a turnout or vote-result source.Open source
