The data will be analysed using STATA version 12. Dataset accuracy will be scrutinised using histograms and cross tabulations to identify any outliers and errors in the data set.
In fact, the very premise of a manual recount after an electronic tabulation, as is the case here, is to provide an additional check on the accuracy of the ballot count.
