On the Corporate Votes and their relation with Daisy Models

TL;DR

This paper analyzes the voting patterns of a Mexican political party across three elections, revealing that their vote distributions align well with Daisy models, suggesting potential universal behaviors in corporate voting patterns.

Contribution

It introduces the application of Daisy models to analyze corporate vote distributions, highlighting a possible universal phenomenon in voting behavior.

Findings

Vote distributions fit Daisy models of various ranks

Rank 2 Daisy model resembles TSP quasi-optimal distances

Discussion of potential universal voting phenomena

Abstract

The distribution of votes of one of the corporate parties in Mexico during elections of 2000, 2003 and 2006 is analyzed. After proper normalization and unfolding the agreement of the votes distributions with those of daisy models of several ranks is good. These models are generated by retaining each $r+1$ level in a sequence which follows a Poisson distribution.Beyond the fact that rank 2 daisy model resembles the distribution of the quasi-optimal distances for the Traveling Salesman Problem no clear explanation exists for this behavior, but the agreement is not fortuitous and the possibility of a universal phenomena for corporate vote is discussed.
