Reply #77: I don;t think he is trying to get your goat here.

He is simply pointing out that you have to use the vote total as the null, and assume it is right to go about proving your contention. A poll by nature is a guess at what the outcome will be. The outcome is the outcome, so you must start from that basis point to prove or disprove the hypothesis. You can't start with the notion that the poll was correct and the outcome was wrong because the poll is inherently less accurate than a person by person tally.

Don't start calling me Sean, I just don't think your methodology as put forth is able to back up your hypothesis.

I admire your steadfastness to the cause, but let's make sure we are doing things right.
