Great Point!!
There's a pattern to the discrepancy. Forget the probabilities. The same method was used in each state, so look at the pattern. If they are all off a little, the pattern persists.
Only in "Blue States" is there a positive correlation with the number of electoral votes.
Only in "Blue States" is there a negative correlation with Kerry vote.
The greater the Kerry winning margin, the less correlation.
The higher the electoral vote prize, the higher the correlation.
