4. Statistics are used all the time in court to prove lost wages
In cases of severe injury or death, experts are called in to show and explain to the jury statistics which prove that the person has lost wages in such-and-such an amount based upon actuarial tables. Airlines rely extensively upon such experts in cases of major crashes with large loss of life.

I don't have a case to cite vis-a-vis Mr. Arnebeck's assertions, but am assuming there is some sort of parallel argument to be made.

Mr. Arnebeck, you'll notice, repeatedly cites that Gore actually won Florida. Perhaps he will use the statistics gleaned from that election as a comparative basis for arguing that 2004 was fraudulent because the same political operatives employed the same methods of manipulating the vote, as well as the malfunction of the evoting machines creating reasonable doubt in a prudent person's mind as to whether the election in fact was fair or not.
