33. Let's apply the Holt "audit" provision to some place like Iowa
Edited on Thu Apr-06-06 01:44 AM by Land Shark
thanks to an Iowa activist for this one:

There are 2000 precincts in Iowa.

2% of 2000 is 40 precincts.

But, there are 99 counties in Iowa.

Holt requires at least one precinct per county.

Therefore, there can be no more than one precinct per county done in Iowa, Max.

Therefore, the cities and populous counties essentially don't get audited. one precinct.

PLUS, IF YOU THINK FOR ONE COTTON PICKIN' MINUTE THAT THIS IS A RANDOM DISTRIBUTION THAT WILL GIVE US SCIENTIFICALLY OR STATISTICALLY VALID RESULTS YOU ARE DOING THE ACTION INDICATED BELOW, IN YOUR RUBBER ROOM, PARTNER.
