Short [still the US elections]
- Mathematician John Allen Paulos:
[T]here are no very compelling conclusions to be drawn about the electorate. Bush received more votes than Kerry. Period. I don’t think this simple fact means the country supports the Bush agenda.
- The Effect of Electronic Voting Machines on Change in Support for Bush in the 2004 Florida Elections:
The data show with 99.0% certainty that a county’s use of electronic voting is associated with a disproportionate increase in votes for President Bush.
- Steven F. Freeman, University of Pennsylvania: The Unexplained Exit Poll Discrepancies [pdf]:
Systematic fraud or mistabulation is a premature conclusion, but the election’s unexplained exit poll discrepancies make it an unavoidable hypothesis, one that is the responsibility of the media, academia, polling agencies, and the public to investigate.
