Claims by Bobb, Christina

Claims by Fried, Joseph N., CPA, Auditor

Joseph N. Fried wrote a book titled Debunked?: An auditor reviews the 2020 election-and the lessons learned. On a page titled The 2020 election was unverifiable, he lists problems with the 6 states that Trump lost and contested in 2020. For Wisconsin, he states the following:

In an effort to spot possible irregularities, the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty did a statistical analysis of the top ten voter turnout changes for Republican wards and Democrat wards. The results are shown in Figure 1.

Fried points to the tall column to the right of the Democratic wards and states that this is for Madison Ward 124 and that voter turnout increased in that ward by 1,285 percent. He then speculates as to the reason for this unnatural increase. He suggests that it could explain why Madison refused to cooperate with a post-election audit. He also mentions that it could be due to an increase in enthusiasm or population but that, more likely, it was due to the 200 drop boxes that were placed in the Democratic stronghold. He ends that section by stating that "What we know with certainty, however, is that an election should not be certified before serious anomalies, such as Ward 124, are investigated."

It would seem that the first thing to investigate would be the actual number of votes in each election. In working with election data, I often have to limit the precincts to a minimum size to avoid wasting time on very small precincts in which a minor change in votes can cause a huge change when measured as a percentage. The fact that Fried doesn't take this obvious first step suggests that he may not know how to quickly check the numbers.

A little bit of googling reveals that Wisconsin election results can be found at this link. Scrolling down the list reveals links to a file under "2016 Fall General Election Results" labeled Ward by Ward Original and Recount President of the United States.xlsx and one under "2020 Fall General Election Results" labeled Ward by Ward Report - President of the United States (under recount).xlsx. Looking inside the 2016 and 2020 files reveal the following results for Madison Ward 124:

Year  Ward              Total  Democrat  Republican  Libertarian  Green  Scattering
2016  Madison Ward 124      9         3           3            1      2           0
2020  Madison Ward 124    138        97          40            0      0           1
