Reply #22: TIA, here is a question for you -

in the 2002 American National Election Study (that can be found here: http://www.pop.psu.edu/data-archive/codebooks/nes/NES2002.pdf ) there was a question:

V203111: Who did vote for in the 2000 presidential election?

With the following results:

1. Al Gore             431  44%
3. George W. Bush      502  51%
5. Ralph Nader          32   
7. Other {SPECIFY}       8   
8. Don't know            1   
9. Refused              10   
0. NA                    1   

Note: these are raw results, not "weighted", not tampered with in any way.

So, now for the question. Knowing what you know about 2000 election, do you find these results of the American National Election Study "mathematically impossible"?
