Rasmussen Statistics

Fake or selectively massaged statistics published in the interest of supporting a particular narrative. Based on techniques from "How to Lie with Statistics."
Rasmussen Statistics include positive poll selection, house bias and sampling distortion and are generally inaccurate and counter factual.
Named for celebrity pollster Scott Rasmussen who selectively did not poll PA-12 because he knew the liberal candidate would win.
Rasmussen statistics are often cited by teabaggers, conservatives, and other followers of the Tea Party Movement....for example, "the Tea Party Movement is bipartisan and multi-racial" is an example of Rasmussen Statistics.

statistics

The study of percentages, bars, graphs, and charts, all in an attempt to make some sort of logical conclusion out of a bunch of numbers so that even more percentages, bars, graphs, and charts can be made.
Statistics may not be of practical use in everyday life, unless you own a casino.

Woke Statistics

When math authors use statistical diagrams like bar charts and pie charts to depict politically incorrect information that directly or indirectly point to centuries-long systemic white racism or supremacism in the nation, which has deprived millions of nonwhites of the educational and career opportunities their white counterparts were afforded with for a few generations.
Recently, a number of red states in the United States have rejected a few dozen math textbooks that allegedly contain woke statistics questions aimed at indoctrinating grades 1–5 students.
