53. it is not a mathematical question
One can't compute the "odds" of x out of y people misreporting their vote, even notionally, unless one can estimate the underlying probability that any one of them will misreport the vote.

I don't think Febble has said that the exit poll in Florida has been proven right, but if she has, I am happy to hear her out. Every argument is different. I don't decide my opinions on them based solely on whether they are "pro-fraud" or "anti-fraud." I hope you don't either.
