Suppose two candidates A and B are running against each other in an election, and A wins (or is tied) by receiving m ≥ n votes, where n is the number of votes received by B During the count the media makes projections about winning. Such a projection is reinforced with every vote received, if A remains ahead throughout.The classical question is:What is the probability that A stays ahead of B throughout the voting? Ifm = n, the probability of the event in question is 0,because by the time the last vote is received there is an equal number of votes for each, and A is not ahead after the (m+n)th vote is cast
