EXIT POLL ALPHA OPTIMIZER: ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM BUSH AND KERRY VOTE% SHOW...
Edited on Sat Jun-11-05 08:05 AM by TruthIsAll
It was Kerry!

Using E-M's own data:
1) 5 Partisanship category precinct weightings
2) Overall response rate of 53%
3) WPE by Partisanship category

I ran the optimizer to determine the Maximum Kerry and Bush vote percentages for alpha (K/B ) ranging from 1.0 to 1.14.

These were the only other range constraints placed on the partisanship groupings:

RESPONSE INPUT CONSTRAINTS
1250 Strong Bush Strong Kerry
Prcts 40 415 540 165 90

KERRY WIN%
Min 0% 25% 45% 55% 75%
Max 25% 45% 55% 75% 100%

RESPONSE RATES
Min 45% 45% 45% 45% 45%
Max 65% 65% 65% 65% 65%

THIS GRAPH SAYS IT ALL:

7. THIS *IS* IT FOLKS. The ultimate demonstration Kerro Won-KICK/RECOMMEND
We're there. After how many iterations of demonstrating that there was something major wrong with this election, TruthIsAll is giving us the ultimate demonstration that all the election fraud we saw on the ground and know took place behind the scenes ALL ADDS UP TO A STOLEN ELECTION.

This is the apogee of TIA's work so far and it's thorough, elegant, and extremely compelling: WAKE UP AMERICA
Which is why I'm entirely serious whan I suggest that you...

12. HERE IS WHAT BUSH NEEDED IN ORDER TO WIN 51.23%
Edited on Sat Jun-11-05 11:44 AM by TruthIsAll
He needed:
1) an aggregate alpha of 1.14 (57/K/50B)
2) 51.8% of the total vote in the non-partisan middle.
3) 1.20 alpha in the non-partisan middle (60K/50B)
4) 47.1% of responders in the middle
5) 58.7% of refusers in the middle.
6) 60.64% of refusers in his moderate stronghold.
7) He had to overcome a 53.2% Kerry lead in exit poll
responders.... 

HE COULD ONLY GET TO 51.23% BY WINNING 56.30% OF EXIT POLL
REFUSERS.
THAT'S A HELLUVA LOT OF RELUCTANT BUSH RESPONDERS.

20. Keep in mind there is no evidence for rBr
Nice reverse engineering. Your data suggests Bush could not have won 51.23% with an alpha of 1.12. Good work.

Bush apparently needs an alpha of 1.14 to get to his recorded vote percentage and if he had achieved this, Bush supporters would have had to be almost implausibly reluctant.

Also it is important to keep in mind that there is no evidence in support of rBr-- it's just a hypothesis with no supporting data in favor. The same is true of the lying Bush voter variant (that Bush voters were more likely to lie to pollsters).

14. A great illustration of how far and how hard the data had to be bent
and twisted to make it look like * won...and even then it still doesn't look like it!

The fudging of the final exit poll numbers was unprecedented, a monumental breach of faith by the media, and also an incomplete, shoddy piece of work.
