The Gun is Smoking - 2004 Ohio Precinct-Level Exit Poll Data Show

Virtually Irrefutable Evidence of Vote Miscount

http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/1/prweb333209.php

 

There is significant controversy about whether the 2004 presidential

election was conducted fairly and its votes counted correctly.

According

to results of the major national election exit poll conducted for the

National Election Pool by Edison/Mitofsky (E/M), Kerry won Ohio's

pivotal vote, though the official tally gave the state, and thus the

presidency, to Bush. The conduct of Ohio's election was formally

debated

by Congress in January 2005.

 

The National Election Data Archive (NEDA) is the first mathematical

team

to release a valid scientific analysis of the precinct-level 2004 Ohio

presidential exit poll data " The Gun is Smoking: Ohio 2004 Exit Poll

Discrepancies Are Consistent with Outcome-Altering Vote Miscount "

available at

http://electionarchive.org/ucvAnalysis/OH/Ohio-Exit-Polls-2004.pdf.

NEDA's analysis provides significant evidence of an outcome-altering

vote miscount.

 

The analysis is based on the most accurate statistical method yet

devised for determining whether exit poll error, random variations, or

vote count manipulation cause the discrepancies between exit polls and

official vote tallies. This analysis method was made public recently by

NEDA in " Vote Miscounts or Exit Poll Error? New Mathematical Function

for Analyzing Exit Poll Discrepancy " available at

http://electionarchive.org/ucvAnalysis/US/Exit-Poll-Analysis.pdf

 

Exit Polls were conducted in 49 of Ohio's 11,360 precincts. At least

40%

of Ohio's polled precincts show statistically significant differences

between Kerry's exit poll percent and official vote count percent. 35%

of these discrepancies underestimated the Kerry official vote share.

This is five times the number expected. Three of the most glaring

examples are:

 

1. In E/M precinct 27, with an estimated 100 respondents, Kerry's

official vote count was 29% less than his exit poll share, creating a

58% difference between Kerry and Bush exit poll and official vote

margins. There is less than a one in 867,205,500 chance of this

occurring due to chance.

 

2. In E/M precinct 25, with an estimated 62 respondents, Kerry's

official vote count was 28% less than his exit poll share, creating a

56% difference between Kerry and Bush exit poll and official vote

margins. There is less than a one in 234,800 chance of this occurring

due to chance.

 

3. In E/M precinct 48, with an estimated 100 respondents, Kerry's

official vote was 16% less than his exit poll share, creating a 32%

difference between Kerry and Bush exit poll and official vote margins.

There is less than a one in 17,800 chance of this occurring due to

chance.

 

There are also two precincts where the Bush official vote count is

significantly less than the Bush exit poll share. The number of

significant discrepancies and the pattern of Ohio's discrepancy shown

in

the NEDA report provide strong support for the conclusion that vote

count errors converted a Kerry win to a Bush win.

 

New electronic voting equipment without voter verified paper ballots,

implemented under the 2002 Help America Vote Act, makes it easier for a

small number of people to manipulate vote counts and nearly impossible

to independently audit vote count accuracy. Virtually every county in

America today publicly reports its vote counts in a way that hides

evidence of miscounts. This allows those with access (whether

authorized

or not) to manipulate or make mistakes in vote counting with negligible

possibility of detection.

 

Without accurate elections, America is not a democracy. NEDA urges the

media to publicize the results of this report and its recommendations,

in order to return to the American people their right to determine the

country's leaders.

 

The National Election Data Archive is a 501©(3) nonprofit

organization

whose mission is to scientifically investigate the accuracy of

elections

through the creation and analysis of a database containing

precinct-level vote-type election data for the entire United States. By

making detailed election data publicly available NEDA furthers its goal

of providing the means for independent analysts to evaluate the

accuracy

of vote counts in time to ensure that properly elected candidates are

sworn into office following future elections.
