Surprising
Pattern of Florida's Election Results
by Kathy Dopp
Wednesday November 3, 2004
Look at the Percent Change columns. Explanation, Sources, and Graphical
Plots are Below the Chart
Voting Machine Type
by County 2004
Note:
This is a scientific study. Small op-scan counties must be excluded
for valid analysis. This relationship with voting machines is statistically
significant. No conclusions as to the causes of the pattern can be drawn
at this time. I am putting my ideas for
a complete study out to statisticians and programmers to be able
to fully analyze 2004 election results beginning with Florida, so that
we can develop and test the efficacy of a system to put in place by
2006 to pinpoint counties which warrant recounts.
Please Subscribe to our mail list for updates and to learn how you
can help this project. With your help, we can put measures in place
by 2006 to find patterns
allowing us to pinpoint possible election rigging/hacking/innocent-errors
by the day after the election, so that candidates will immediately
know if precincts or counties need to be recounted prior to conceding.
