Reply #27: Clues as to how Cuyahoga may have been hacked

[59sunburst]

All you guys who are looking at Cuyahoga please review this Excel file:

I've compared precincts from 2000, the first 2004 tally and the final 2004 tally. I noticed that 47 precincts have the exact number of Bush votes from 2000 to 2004 (first and/or final tallies).

This seemed like a high number. I wondered if Bush's 2000 numbers were somehow used as a benchmark for each precinct in 2004. Through much trial and error, I was able to reverse engineer a formula that may approximate how the vote was hacked.

Please check out the tab named Zero.

I was able to predict the exact Bush and Kerry results (initial and final) for the following precincts:

1006 BROOKLYN F
1705 CLEVELAND 3E
2115 CLEVELAND 7O
2502 CLEVELAND 11B
4113 GARFIELD HTS 1-C
4901 LINNDALE A

The calculation uses:

A) Total independent votes
B) Total of all counted ballots
C) Total of all cast ballots
D) Total 2000 Bush votes

Using this calculation, I was able to predict Kerry's vote total within +-5% for over 600 precincts. This is on the "Kerry 5% tab".

It's not perfect but I think it shows that that Bush's 2000 numbers were used to alter the numbers.

I welcome all comments and I invite you to improve upon it in any way.
