The True MATH: Confirming Election Fraud 2000-2008

Mar 30, 2009

In analyzing historical election data, an ongoing pattern of statistical anomalies leads to two conclusions: the recorded vote does not reflect the True Vote, and the pattern always favors the Republicans. This brief summary of recurring anomalies since the 2000 Selection is powerful evidence that the 2000 and 2004 elections were stolen and that landslides were denied in the 2006 midterms and 2008 presidential elections. The analysis does not include millions of potential Democrats who were disenfranchised and never even got to vote.

Uncounted Votes
There are millions of uncounted votes in every election. The majority (70-80%) are Democratic.

Late Votes
The Democratic late vote exceeded the Election Day share by 7% in each of the last three presidential elections.

Undecided voters
Historically, undecided voters break (60-90%) for the challenger.
Pre-election polls in general do not allocate undecided voters.
The undecided vote was strongly Democratic in the last three elections,.

Pre-election Polls
Registered voter (RV) polls include all registered new voters; likely-voter (LV) polls are a subset of RV polls and exclude many newly registered.
In general, only LV polls are posted during the final two weeks before the election.
LV polls are a subset of the total (RV) sample and have consistently understated the Democratic vote.
The RV samples are more accurate, especially when there is a heavy turnout of new voters — as in 2004, 2006 and 2008.
The Census reported that 88.5% of registered voters turned out on 2004.
The average projected turnout of 5 final pre-election RV/LV polls was 82.8%.
A regression analysis of Kerry’s vote share vs. registered voter turnout indicated he had a 52.6% share (assuming a 75% UVA).
Assuming the two-party vote, Kerry had a 51.3% share.
There was a strong 0.89 correlation ratio between Kerry’s LV poll share and LV/RV turnout.
In other words, the pre-election polls underestimated voter turnout by 6%. Newly registered Democrats came out in force.

New Voters
According to the 1988-2004 National Exit Polls, the Democrats won new voters by an average 14% margin.
In 2008, Obama won new voters by approximately 71-27%; in 2004, Kerry won new voters by approximately 57-41%.

The calculations below confirm that new voters comprise the difference (RV – LV) between registered (RV) and likely voter (LV) sample-size.
The Obama / McCain share of the difference was 73.3-26.7%, closely matching the 71-27% Final NEP new voter share.
The Kerry / Bush share of the difference was 57.8-42.2%, closely matching the 57-41% Prelim NEP new voter share.

The number of new voters is a function of voter mortality and turnout. It is estimated by the simple formula:
New voters = current election votes cast – (prior election votes cast – voter mortality) * prior-voter turnout

Applying the new voter formula based on 2008 votes cast (135.43m, estimate) and the 2004 votes cast (125.74m),
Given ~1.16% annual voter mortality (~5.83m over 4 years) and an approximate 98% turnout of 2004 election voters in 2008:
New 2008 voters ~= 17.9 million = (135.43 – (125.74 – 5.83)* 0.98) = (135.43 –119.91*.98)
New Voters recorded ~= 17.4m = 17.9 * (131.37/135.43) (based on total recorded vote).
According to the Final 2008 NEP, there were 17.1m new voters (13% of 131.37).

Applying the new voter formula based on 2004 votes cast (125.736m) and 2000 votes cast (110.826m), given ~1.19% average annual voter mortality
New 2004 voters ('DNV' 2000) = 22.3 million = 125.736 – (110.826 – 5.28)* 0.98 = 125.74 – 105.55*.98 = 125.74 - 103.44

There were approximately 3.8 million returning Nader voters. Kerry won 2.4 million (64%); Bush had 0.7 million (17%).
According to the 12:22am National Exit Poll, Kerry won 13.4 million new voters (57% of 'DNV'); Bush had 9.6 million (41%).
Of the 26.1 million new and returning Nader voters, Kerry won 15.8m and Bush 10.1m — a 5.7 million Kerry margin.
Since Bush won the official recorded vote by 3 million, almost 8.7 million more returning-Gore voters than Bush voters had to have defected.
But the 12:22am National Exit Poll indicated that 10% of returning Bush voters defected to Kerry, and 8% of Gore voters defected to Bush.

Final National Exit Poll
The Final NEP is always forced to match the recorded vote count.
In 2004, the returning Bush/Gore 43/37% voter mix was impossible.
In 2006, the returning 49/43% Bush/Kerry voter mix was implausible.
In 2008, the returning 46/37% Bush/Kerry voter mix was impossible.

2000
Gore won by 51.0–50.46m (48.38–47.87%).
The Census reported 110.8 million votes cast, but just 105.4m were recorded.
The Final 2000 NEP was forced to match the recorded vote.
Approximately 4 million of the 5.4 million uncounted votes were for Gore.
Therefore he won the True Vote by 55–52m.
The election was stolen.

2004
Bush won the recorded vote by 62.0–59.0m (50.73-48.27%)
Kerry won the unadjusted (WPE) state exit poll aggregate by 52-47%.
He led the preliminary NEP (12:22am, 13047 respondents) by 51-48%.
He led despite the implausible NEP 41/39% returning Bush/Gore voter mix.

The Final NEP (13660 sample) was 'forced to match' the 50.7–48.3% Bush recorded margin.
To force the match in the Final NEP:
a) Bush shares of returning and new voters were increased,
b) The returning Bush/Gore voter mix was changed to an impossible 43/37%.
The mix indicates an impossible 52.6m (43% of 122.3) returning Bush 2000 voters.

Bush only had 50.46 million recorded votes in 2000.
Approximately 2.5m died and 2.5m did not vote in 2004.
So there were at most 45.5 million returning Bush voters.
The Final overstated the number of returning Bush voters by 7 million.
Kerry won the True Vote by 8–10 million.
The election was stolen.

2006 Midterms
Democrats won all 120 pre-election Generic polls.
The final trend line projection was a 56.43–41.67 Democratic landslide.
At 7pm, the NEP indicated a 55–43% landslide.
The returning Bush/Kerry voter mix was 47/45%.

The Final was forced to match the 52–46% recorded vote.
To force the match:
a) the Bush share of returning and new voters were increased,
b) the returning voter mix was changed to an implausible 49/43%.
The Democratic margin was cut in half.
The landslide was denied.

2008
Obama won the recorded vote by 69.4–59.9m (52.9–45.6%)
Obama led the final pre-election registered voter polls by 52–39%.
The Final 2008 NEP was forced to match the recorded vote.

To force the match, the Final indicated an impossible 46/37% Bush/Kerry returning voter mix.
The mix overstated the number of returning Bush voters by 4 million — assuming zero fraud in 2004.
It overstated the number of returning Bush voters by 9 million — assuming the unadjusted (WPE) 2004 state exit poll aggregate (Kerry by 52–47%).

The Final indicated that an impossible 5.2 million (4% of 131.37m) were returning third-party voters.
There were only 1.2 million third-party voters in 2004.

The Final indicated there were 60.4 million (46% of 131.37m) returning Bush voters.
Bush only had 62.0 million votes in 2004 (assuming no fraud).
Approximately 3 million died and another 3 million did not vote in 2008.
Therefore there were approximately 56 million returning Bush voters.
Assuming no fraud in 2004, the Final NEP mix overstated the number of returning Bush voters by 4 million.
On the other hand, assuming that Kerry won by 52–47%, the Final NEP mix overstated the number of returning Bush voters by 9 million.
Obama's True Vote margin was cut in half.
The landslide was denied.

In summary:

If Final NEP weightings indicate a mathematically impossible number of returning voters, then simple logic dictates the weightings are impossible.
Since impossible weightings were necessary to match to the official vote count, then the official vote count must also be impossible.
Since the vote count is impossible, then all demographic category cross tabs must use incorrect weights and/or vote shares to match the count.

2008 Final Pre-election Polls — RV and LV

The Obama:McCain  'RV minus LV'  shares are 73.3–26.7%, closely matching post-election, Final exit poll  'New Voter'  shares, 71–27%.

The 1052 difference — i.e. the 3-poll RV samples (8581) exclusive their LV subsets (7529) — comprised 12.3% of the total RV sample.
Assuming 3% uncounted votes, there were approximately 17.6m newly-registered and other new voters (i.e., 'DNV' 2004) — 13% of 135.43m.

2004 Final Pre-election Polls

The Kerry/Bush vote split of the difference (1335) in sample between the RV and LV subset (57.8–42.2%)
matched the 12:22am Preliminary National Exit Poll  'New Voter'  shares: 57–41–2%.

The 1769 difference — i.e. 5-poll RV samples (10310) exclusive their LV subsets (8541) — comprised 17.2% of the total (RV) sample.
In 2004, there were approximately 21.4 million newly registered and other new voters (i.e., 'DNV' 2000) — 17% of 125.7m votes cast.
Of the 21.4 million, approximately 13.8m (11% of 125.74) were first-time voters. Kerry won 55% of first-timers.
The average pre-election poll projected turnout of registered voters was 82.8% (117m of 142m registered).
The census reported an 88.5% voter turnout (125.7m of 142.1m registered).

• If Final NEP weightings indicate a mathematically impossible number of
   returning voters, then simple logic dictates the weightings are impossible.
• Since impossible weightings were necessary to match to the official vote count,
   then the official vote count must also be impossible.
• Since the vote count is impossible, then all demographic category cross tabs
   must use incorrect weights and/or vote shares to match the count.
