1. How Voted in 2000: Various scenarios and Best Estimate of the mix

We know that the Final Exit Poll 43% Bush /37% Gore weights
are IMPOSSIBLE.

The Preliminary Exit Poll 41%/39% is closer to the truth - but
still not there. To believe it was 41%/39%, one must assume
that Bush 2000 voters defied the U.S. annual 0.87% death rate.

Here is a plausible range of possibilities, assuming the death
rate and various percentages of 2000 voters who chose to sit
out the 2004 election.

4. On Edit: 0.329 mil. Bush 2000 voters died (0.65%). Impossible (too low)

Correction:
"0.329 mil Bush voters died (0.65%)
Impossible (too high), since 1.766 mil died".

It should be (too LOW)
