PROOF: GOP Party Bosses Rigging Elections For Romney:
The internet has been abuzz since the British website UK Progressive released a report on how a retired NSA analyst Michael Duniho had gone over the Arizona GOP Primary Results from earlier this year and discovered widespread GOP election fraud through what can be called an electronic fingerprint. He found that when you break down the primary results in to their component precincts, and then compare the percentage of each candidate and how much they gained per precinct, a pattern appeared:
The larger the district, the larger Mitt Romneys percentage, in a smooth line.
This is statistically improbable to occur even in one election. What he discovered is that this is not a one time fluke at all. Instead, he found the tell-tale signature of electronic manipulation
As I said: I dont have the knowledge to evaluate this data, and (as someone who still believes the 1988 election was an electronic trial run) Im prone to believe the worst of the GOP under any circumstance. So I would genuinely appreciate being told, by people who know what theyre talking about, that this is just one of those anomalous patterns that statistical graphing will throw up.
...................
When you expand your search, looking for this pattern, investigation reveals that this vote tampering was not just restricted to Arizona.
When one examines comparisons of primaries nationwide, you will note that the same pattern is found. It is statistically improbable for this pattern to happen in even a single race. To have it happen in every primary race in states with Republican leadership? A statistical impossibility.

(16,926 posts)Unless every machine in every precinct was loaded with hacked code that would flip votes specifically relative to the size of the precinct, this looks more like what you might expect from "adjustments" made downstream -- from a man-in-the-middle attack or at the central tabulator itself.

(16,926 posts)The straight, or nearly straight lines for all other candidates and notably for Romney on the April graph implies that a linear equation is at work to adjust the numbers on the Y axis.

(16,926 posts)For such an effect to demonstrate perfectly linear traits, particularly across numerous races, is extremely unlikely. While it's not technically impossible that you could flip a quarter a hundred times and get "tails" every time, the odds against it actually happening are overwhelming.
Too often, I think people make the same mistake with the concept of statistics that they do with the word "theory" - that both are simply nebulous best guesses and nothing more; i.e. - "lies, damned lies, and statistics".

(13,832 posts)The Wisconsin model from April is quite obvious. A large % of Santorum votes were flipped to Mitt in the larger precincts.

(20,317 posts)I thought it was plain that Romney would be the eventual nominee even back when Perry seemed like the popular choice. I remember telling my Republican friends that they'd end up with Romney because he's the big money's choice, and they just laughed and said, 'nobody wants Romney'.
Yeah, 'nobody but the guys who own your party', I said. I mentioned those exchanges to one of them the other day and he insists it never happened, and he's been a Romney man all along. lmao.

Resistance is futile.
Until some kind of hopefully friendly revolution, anyways.
