Electoral forensics
Mebane has studied potentially fraudulent election results, including those of the 2009 Iranian presidential election[1] and of 1930s elections in Argentina.[2] He authored a paper[3] disputing the Organization of American States's claim of fraud in the 2019 Bolivian general election.[4] In April 2004, he published a report finding that error-prone methods of counting votes (vote tabulation) in Florida in the 2000 United States presidential election led to a legal result that was the opposite of the voters' intentions.[5]
