11/11 1% of votes counted in Palm Beach = +19 votes
That whiny little Bush is going to shit his pants once he does some
"fuzzy math":
19 * 100 == ~1900 votes
Let's face it, the machines are very bad at counting and are the only
things supporting Bush. Gore has the true will of the people.
\_ Uhm, ok, let's do some more math. That was a county that voted
Democratic-dominated ones.
roughly 90% Gore, 10% Bush. Roughly 9:1. Why is it that about
1/3rd of the fucked up ballots went to Bush instead of Gore? More
first round vote fraud from the Democrats? Why did a recount
produce 3x as many as it should have statistically? And while we're
at it, let's try recounting a few heavily Republican counties....
The only fair way to do this is either accept the first machine
recount that was done by the machines or recount the whole friggin
state by hand. You can't clean up only some of your data and
expect to get a valid result. You get a _less_ valid result. I
shouldn't have to explain this to a Cal student....
\_ Dude, get yer shit together. First off, Palm Beach voted
62% Gore, 36% Bush (courtesy of http://CNN.com, data taken from first
count to get a feel for the percentages). I'll generalize that
Gore got 2 votes to every 1 vote Bush got in Palm Beach. Now
let's look at the new votes they got. Gore got 33, Bush got 14.
Hmm, wow, it looks like it's about a 2 to 1 ratio again. Oh wow.
So in general, we should see just as many non-counted ballots by
the machines. To me, as a Cal student, makes a lot of sense.
As for the entire state recounting by hand, I say GO FOR IT! Of
course the Republicans realize that such a recount could (I say
could, not would) make them lose, so they are scared of such a
notion. And yes, the votes will even out if the entire state was
counted. But I have a hunch that more Democrats are less likely
to punch the holes cleanly and make sure the chad drops. Let's
face it, Republicans are typically a bit more in tune to such
technical things, and are also typically a cleaner and tidier
group of people. Yes, that's a stereotype, but hey, that's all
elections ever come down to anyway. So go suck it with this
"_less_ valid result" bullshit. I want accuracy, not politics.
-phale, the original poster who finds himself forgetting to
clean up all of the chad he leaves behind
\_ They should do a recount in every county then, not just the
Democrat-dominated ones.
\_ Yes, that would be the fair thing to do
\_ Not everyone wants to get gored.
\_ Good point. Whereas everybody loves to get a little bush.
\_ I personally don't want to get dick
\_ I uhm, want, uh... GO GREEN! -N'04!
\_ PB County is actaully about 2:1 Gore. http://www.pbcelections.org
\_ Correct. The precincts they chose to reinterpret
were 90:10. |
