John Lott, not Trent. John Lott is still pushing his fraudulent work on the Florida election fiasco. I´ve posted on this a bunch of times, but let me just say that his election work makes his gun work look like brilliant airtight scholarship. His election work is full of deception that a first year econometrics student could spot.
In any case, I hadn´t realized this nonsense had actually made its way into what I assume is a reputable journal - the Journal of Legal Studies (January 2003). Now, I haven´t actually read this work but I did read his report to Congress on this issue from which it is derived.
Lott gives right wing hacks a bad name, and man is that hard.
