35. Does Mitofsky pretend that the spoiled- ballot component doesn't exist?

Edited on Fri Mar-11-05 09:18 PM by kiwi_expat

Or that the uncounted-provisional-ballot component doesn't exist?

If so, wouldn't it be useful to show those as separate variables in the equation - in addition to an "other innocent mistakes" variable? And, if you wish, the fraud variable could be labeled "other deliberate mistakes", to highlight that some of the spoiled-ballot and uncounted-provisional-ballot component is due to fraud.

However if you prefer aggregate variables, why not just:
I = R + (M)istakes

(I am embarrassed to admit that I am unable to download NEP's pdf report.)
