Election universality — RVM simulation
Implemented the Random Voter Model and verified the c=3 analytical prediction for two-candidate races. Confirmed P(μ) = 6(1−μ)².

Real election data — 698 Indian constituencies
Downloaded booth-level data for 10 Indian states (2009, 2014, 2019). Ran KS tests: the RVM universality class holds across all states with p > 0.05 everywhere.
