“PROOF: GOP Party Bosses Rigging Elections For Romney“?

“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 Romney’s 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 don’t have the knowledge to evaluate this data, and (as someone who still believes the 1988 election was an electronic trial run) I’m prone to believe the worst of the GOP under any circumstance. So I would genuinely appreciate being told, by people who know what they’re 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.

3. I've never believed the results of the Walker recall election

in Wisconsin. I'd love for to see the results of the WI June 5th election analysed forensically like this.

4. That straight line would seem to point toward manipulation beyond the voting machines

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.

6. For a horizontal line such as Gingrich's on the Mar. 6 graph, yes

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.

8. You're right. I meant to say horizontal.

But personally, I'm not sold on this idea that there shouldn't be a relationship between precinct size and voting preferences.

9. While there could be influences from population size and density

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".

10. Wow.... This signature just stands out.

It would have to be predictable to be useful anything predictable would eventually stand out. I think the trolls are trying to get ahead of this.

2004 and one thing I am very, very grateful for is that this time, the thieves are not in the White House.

The Wisconsin model from April is quite obvious. A large % of Santorum votes were flipped to Mitt in the larger precincts.

The writer of one (using same graphics) is working on a sequel.

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.

that sums it up

Resistance is futile.

Until some kind of hopefully friendly revolution, anyways.
