La falacia del empate t\'ecnico electoral

Abstract

It is argued that the concept of "technical tie" in electoral polls and quick counts has no probabilistic basis, and that instead the uncertainty associated with these statistical exercises should be expressed in terms of a probability of victory of the leading candidate. ----- Se argumenta que el concepto de "empate t\'ecnico" en encuestas y conteos r\'apidos electorales no tiene fundamento probabil\'istico, y que en su lugar la incertidumbre asociada a dichos ejercicios estad\'isticos debiera expresarse en t\'erminos de una probabilidad de triunfo del candidato puntero.
