I'm attempting to refute a pathetic dismissal of voting irregularities and can't find a post I saw on DU just yesterday that had all the info I needed.
It was a simple chart showing Exit polling data off by more than 2% for each candidate by state.
Only Two states showed data outside the MOE in favor of Kerry (and not by much - the rest (16 I believe) were all in favor of Bush.
I've used the search and checked everywhere and can't find a good source.
Anyone remember that post or know which states went for Bush** outside the MOE?
BTW - Here's the very sorry stab at 'disputing claims of fraud'...
"I found a blurb on this site:
http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/tilting/2000/0003.tilting.html to be interesting. It was written years before our recent election. Seems those looking and hoping for a scandal need only check a little history:
Quote:
Bill Bradley had led Al Gore in New Hampshire public opinion polls for months, but when Gore finally won the primary by a 52-48 margin, the pundits almost acted as if Bradley had won instead of hailing Gore for a come-from-behind victory. Why? One reason is that Gore had, in the 10 days before the primary, overtaken Bradley in the polls and in some for a few days at least he was ahead by a margin greater than he ultimately won by. The other reason is that reporters love a horse race and they don't like to see any candidate anointed too early. They therefore tend to build up the second-place finisher and to disparage any victory less than double-digit. Bill Clinton was helped by this tendency in 1992. It has even affected history. Many people think that Eugene McCarthy won the New Hampshire primary in 1968 and that George McGovern won it in 1972. Actually Lyndon Johnson won in 1968 and did so, incredibly enough, with write-in votes. Ed Muskie beat George McGovern but most people remember that Muskie lost because he cried in the snow. The reason Mc-Carthy and McGovern are remembered as the winners is because that is the impression the media wanted to give."
