MATHEMATICAL METHODS OF ANALYSIS AS A FACTOR OF ESTIMATION OF THE ELECTION RESULTS
From time to time there can be appeared the materials connected with the attempt to use some or other methods of the assessment of the election legitimacy that are based not on the law, but on “the author’s theory”. Mass media started to pay attention to the mathematical analysis of the detection of a fraud that was offered by the physicist S. Spilkin after the federal period of the elections in 2011-2012. It becomes obvious after the detailed consideration that there are no theoretical or experiential reasons for the usage of the mathematical analysis of the strict search of the fraud, while the transition from the theory of the electoral behavior to statistical analysis of anomalies is seen impossible.
