Summary:
- Irregularities associated with electronic voting machines may have awarded 130,000 excess votes or more to President George W. Bush in Florida.
- Compared to counties with paper ballots, counties with electronic voting machines were significantly more likely to show increases in support for President Bush between 2000 and 2004. This effect cannot be explained by differences between counties in income, number of voters, change in voter turnout, or size of Hispanic/Latino population.
- In Broward County alone, President Bush appears to have received approximately 72,000 excess votes.
- We can be 99.9% sure that these effects are not attributable to chance.

Stupid and more than likely DUmmy posters
Oh, c'mon. If it weren't for the double standard and low standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all.
stuning!
If I understand this paper correctly, it is completely consistent with the following explanation.
1. Democrats traditionally commit vote fraud in heavily Democratic districts.
2. Electronic voting machines are a new tool and they have not figured out how to manipulate them yet.
3. Fraud occurred in heavily Democratic counties in 2000 because old familiar technology was used.
4. Fraud was lessened in 2004 because electronic voting has not been coopted yet.
Incredibly they spend this much time thinking about a topic and it never crosses their mind they are walking into a trap.
Remember, this is the home of LSD...
I find this whole theme very odd, because I followed the Florida count all night, in detail. By midnight I noticed that the percentage margin in any county did not change much as more returns came in.
As soon as we had partial returns from the three big dem counties, I was able to project the state outcome. Bush did slightly better in all three compared to 2000, but he did better everywhere. All the major counties using touch screen machines have democrat majorities. Republican counties were not stupid enough to waste millions of dollars on unnecessary technology that has no backup, no paper trail, and no method for recounting or verification. Paper ballots have all this and cost 1/1,000,000th as much, so to speak.
If these guys had their way we wouldn't count all the votes, just a portion of them and do a statistical analysis to find out who won.
...oh yea. They did that with the exit polls and we all know that they did a bang-up job of that.
This is hilarious. Apparently this is what liberals are talking about when they say they're more intelligent than Republicans. It's not real intelligence; but rather an ability to take the most stupid concept and convert it into a scholarly-sounding research paper. What a stellar piece of crap these people have produced!
My thoughts exactly.
LOL I didn't go to Berkley.
LOL. True, I hadn't thought of that :)
Not worth reading the article. However, these variances can be explained by the simply fact that the dems weren't able to steal the votes this time that they stole before machine use.
I love that. Great job working in my screen name. ;)
