Are There Really 460,000 Non-Binary Gender Voters in Arizona?

Data scientist Bobby Piton has been studying raw data from the Nov. 3 election in several states and has uncovered several peculiarities.

In Arizona, for example, Piton has identified 460,000 voters who apparently classified themselves as “U” voters when filling out voter registrations. The “U” designates a voter’s gender.

Piton believes it stands for “Unidentified” or “Unsure” but has been unable to get a clear answer from Arizona officials (which is bizarre in itself).

But comparing demographic data for the LGBT community in the U.S., Piton found that only about 4-5% of Arizona’s population identifies as LGBT. That number would have to more than double to about 13% in order for it to equal the 460,000 number of “U” voters currently on the rolls.
