NC Board of Elections Nov. 7. 1:55pm: X

7. I didn't check.

But if either vote count is a seven multiple, the odds are 1 in 7 that the other will be too -- not very improbable odds. (Nothing magical about seven. If either is a four multiple the odds are 1 in 4 that the other will be.)

And if two numbers are both multiples of any number "X", the difference between them will always be a multiple of "X".

So the first point (both are seven multiples) is well within chance. And the second (the difference between them is also a seven multiple) is trivial.
