Counterfactual Evaluation

This option supposes what might have happened if an election were rerun under different circumstances. The systematic error component is once again held constant to reflect that this is the same ``voting apparatus'' as was used originally.

To enable a counterfactual analysis, specify new covariates by adding the option new.covariates and changing the relevant values.
