What are the margins of error in elections? If a study hasn't been done, how could we construct one?
Post Body
Obviously any measurement has some margin of error, systematic and theoretic. Whether it's hanging chads, database errors in electronic counts, fraudulent votes, etc. there's got to be some known/measurable error within an electoral system.
For simplicity I'm assuming elections as they occur in the US, at a state or national level. But other data would be helpful as well if it's available.
