Reply #14: Let's take another look at those forgetful Gore voters... [View All]

[TruthIsAll]

Let's restate the 43/37 problem slightly.

Assume that 40 Bush/40 Gore was the actual response, and 3 out of 40 Gore voters forgot they voted for Gore. That is how 40/40 became 43/37.

But consider this:
If Gore voters forgot who they voted for, couldn't they just as well have said that they voted for Gore as for Bush? By the law of averages (or the Law of Large Numbers) 50% of forgetful Gore voters would say they voted for Gore and 50% would say they voted for Bush.
Flip a coin.

Therefore, 6 out of the 40 Gore voters would have forgotten, of which 3 said they voted for Bush and 3 for Gore. Now 6/40 = 15%.

Thay means that 15% (7.65 MILLION) of 51 million Gore voters forgot who they voted for. Let's assume for the purpose of this discussion, that there were no liars among them, just those who forgot.

Are we really expected to believe that not only did 7.65 MILLION Gore voters suffer from Alzheimer's or Amnesia, but ALSO BELIEVE AT THE SAME TIME THAT NOT A SINGLE BUSH VOTER SUFFERED FROM EITHER MALADY?

What is the naysayer response to THAT question?
