Reply to comment by ScienceWasLove in Majority of 16k canceled Pa. mail-in ballots were from Dems by TransporterOffline

>Republicans were 1.8 times more likely to have their mail-in ballot canceled vs. dems.

We'd have to know the number of ballots that were cured, and therefore didn't count towards the number of cancelled votes, to see if party is a significant indicator. 4 of the six counties that outright refused to cure ballots lean heavily red.

Also need to normalize by demographics like age and educational attainment, which would impact the ability to follow the voting instructions.

Fair enough. That “1.8 times” is just an alarming way to manipulate the raw numbers, just like the articles headline.
