A major coding error in the Organization of American States' analysis of Bolivia's October 2019 elections demonstrates another fatal flaw in that analysis, again negating the OAS's claims that fraud affected the results.
The error was revealed last week after Irfan Nooruddin, a statistician at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, whom the OAS had hired to analyze the election results, made his data available for the first time. Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) economist David Rosnick noticed that in Nooruddin's data, time stamps were sorted alphanumerically, instead of chronologically.
