Ethics of Big Data Analysis : US Election Result Expectations

Former Community Member
Former Community Member

The Trump Camp is understandably disappointed with this unexpected election result.



However, it can be fairly expected that a lot of their elderly supporters in some of their established constituencies, may not have had access to voting at the time of Pandemic, mainly due to the elderly being more susceptible to the virus and choosing the conservative decision to not take the added risk of life. Here, it is not by choice, but by loss of freedom due to Pandemic, such citizens may have been deprived of their fundamental rights. Was the loss of this conservative sentiment amongst the elderly - and its representation in the cast ballots, the cause of such unexpected defeat?



Big Data set comparisons would suggest that some of the states with high elderly population, obtained an unexpected result from the US Election. Hence, as per the value of Big Data Analysis, should such identified discrepancies be worth further appeals - or should such data be ignored as a human observation fallacy? Indeed, the future of such Big Data technologies are in these important ethical considerations.

    Interesting, how at times of such Ethical Dilemma, the Laws and Legal Processes rectify the issue. Since, the US AG has called for clarifying that there was not any significant "Irregularities" for the election results.

    Significant "Irregularities", as required by the AG, could exist, if under the circumstances of the Pandemic, considerable number of Elderly and other dependent persons, could not get access to Voting, as they would, if the Pandemic did not exist.


    As most Elderly persons would require support to Vote, and that the Elderly are at a higher risk of conceiving the virus, it would be a reasonable ground to check whether fair, un-intimitated and fully accessible methods were available to the Elderly, under the circumstances of the Pandemic. Otherwise, the election could be highly "Irregular" in that the US Constitutional provisions for elections, were critically affected for a significant group of eligible voters under such circumstances, creating an election that would be inherently biased against such a legitimate and eligible group.


    As a check, all US Counties should have provided this access for a fair election result thereby. Counties that did not or could not provide this access, may require such advantages from further appeals.
