Reply #97: Sean, as you will know

the sentence of mine you cite was followed by:

"I exaggerate slightly. And truly, I am working on this algorithm. But either I'd make a poor vote-switch hacker or it's damn difficult."

And I should have added "new, voteswitching" before the word "fraud". Sorry. I try to remember.

I don't think the analyses do anything to rule out many kinds of electoral injustice (I am not entirely happy about calling all of these fraud at this stage but they may have been) that we know happened in Ohio and elsewhere and which could have cost Kerry the election.

In short, I don't think the exit polls tell us much about fraud either way, except, as I said on my calculatus elimatus thread, that they put useful constraints on what could or could not have been done.
