2010 Midterm House and Senate Forecast Models: RV/LV Polls, Undecided Voters and Election Fraud

Once again, as in every election cycle, the media avoids the real issues. Like Martha Coakley winning the hand-counts in the Massachusetts primary; Vic Rawl easily winning the absentees but losing to unknown Alvin Greene in the South Carolina primary; Mike Castle beating Christine O'Donnell by over 10 points in the absentees but losing by six in Delaware. But there was hardly a peep about all this in the mainstream media. Apparently, we must just accept that the votes which vanished in cyberspace and can never be verified were not tampered with.

The media lockdown is not limited to stolen elections. The MSM prepares us for election fraud still to come by focusing on pre-election likely voter (LV) polls. It is important to keep in mind that all pre-election polls interview registered voters (RV). Likely voters are a sub-sample of the full RV sample. They are not separate polls.

Most pollsters fail to provide RV polling data with the LV sub-samples. And even when it is provided, online election sites invariably list the LV. The misleading narrative of a fictional “horse race” based on LV polls conditions the public to underestimate the true Democratic vote in every election. Voters have been primed in 2004, 2006 and 2008, to accept LV poll projections that exclude millions of newly registered voters (most of whom are Democrats). The LV polls anticipated the millions of uncounted votes in every election cycle.

The pollster’s goal is to match the recorded vote, not the True Vote. The horse race is everything. No wonder Rasmussen and others only provide LV polling data. He knows what to expect. So should we.
