18. Mitofsky's NEP report says red-shift due to Democratic Overstatement
Edited on Sun Jan-23-05 12:45 PM by nodictators
The "overstatement" claim has to be debunked and refuted. Otherwise, all of these numbers mean nothing.

Personally, I don't buy the overstatement claims. In analysis, the analyst, Mitofsky, should show that his methodology works. His vote analysis worked resonably well, excepting states such as OH and FL. His overstatement analysis is highly questionable in my view.

However, the TV "news" media reports what suits them, and others have to prove the methodology wrong. Even when someone does that, they still will ignore it and brand the outsider a "conspiracy theorist."

Worse yet, NBC has called for a "Democratic Overstatement" reduction to be applied in future exit polls.

Disproving the overstatement crap is Job 1!
