155. So, am killing American soldiers, am I?
Let's see:

Somewhere around half of American voters vote for a president who embarked on an illegal war in Iraq, which I utterly oppose. Because I opposed it I was seriously concerned as to whether it really was slightly more than half of American voters, or slightly less, who voted for that president.

The exit polls initially suggested to me that it was possible that massive fraud had taken place, and that perhaps Kerry really had been the American choice.

On closer examination of the exit poll evidence I find that the tool used to conduct an investigation into what caused the exit poll discrepancy was flawed. I suggest a better one. It is used. Its math is not disputed. Yet.

An initial reanalysis of the data, by Mitofsky, using my measure, suggests that one particular fraud hypothesis, advanced by USCV, is not supported. Mitofsky engages me to run some more detailed analyses. For all you know, these may support alternative fraud hypotheses.

Just how does any of that make me responsible for soldiers dying in Iraq?

Don't bother to answer. It's a rhetorical question.
