Research Team Calls for Immediate Investigation


BERKELEY, Calif., Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ --

When: Thursday, November 18, 2004, 10:00 a.m. PST

Where: UC Berkeley campus, Survey Research Center Conference Room --
2538 Channing Way (intersection of Channing/Bowditch). Parking on
Durant near Telegraph.

What: A research team at UC Berkeley will report that irregularities
associated with electronic voting machines may have awarded 130,000 -
260,000 or more excess votes to President George W. Bush in Florida in
the 2004 presidential election. The study shows an unexplained
discrepancy between votes for President Bush in counties where
electronic voting machines were used versus counties using traditional
voting methods. Discrepancies this large or larger rarely arise by
chance -- the probability is less than 0.1 percent. The research team,
led by Professor Michael Hout, will formally disclose results of the
study at the press conference.
