Comment : | Querying Statistical Normalcy If we administer IQ tests some statistically significant portion of the population, we will plot enough statistics at some point to establish the familiar "bell curve". If we plot voter registration rates or voter participation rates for every county and every precinct in the U.S. for this last primary, we will establish a similar "bell curve". If one county or a precinct shows much higher or much lower registration rates...then that county or precinct is statistically abnormal in comparison to the rest of that bell curve.
