The fact that you’re already constraining this to a close election is admitting that the scenario you’re talking about is not an all-inclusive one.

Are you talking about a probability distribution function?

Or are you just referring to the fact that the larger the number of samples, the more perfect the distribution will eventually be? As in, if you were the nine billionth voter there’s be a much stronger chance that the distribution was closer to the underlying probability?

You also appear to be treating every vote as if it is the final vote. Do you get that?
