Here's one approach: start with preferences that are assumed to be
sincere. Then add in some (more or less accurate) statistical information
about the set of preferences.  Now construct ballots that would be likely
reactions to the statistical information (or disinformation as the case
may be).

Finally, compare the original preferences with those expressed on the
ballots.
