5. I am not using anecdotal evidence at all. Strictly the exit poll
Edited on Mon Apr-11-05 06:31 PM by TruthIsAll
percentages, with adjustments to the weightings - from the mathematically impossible 43/37% to the very plausible 39.43/39.85%.

There is no bias in these weights, or polling margin of error, for they are not based on how people said they voted in 2000, but rather on the historic fact.

Why not use the 2000 voting results along with the mortality rates that we know to be true as a maximum constraint on the weightings?

And just work from there?
