Anyone else see this yesterday? CD's of data to be available.
ABC and Fox News decide to "have nothing to do with the data"...

Sorry if this is a repeat posting..

Way at the bottom...

One concern the review team addressed was that survey questionnaires weren't available from 50 of the 250 precincts selected randomly for the national sample. The panel determined that while non-coverage was unusually high, it appeared to happen randomly and thus the data remain usable.

Let me get this straight - they selected 250 precincts randomely, but for some reason, 50 of them "weren't available". So 1/5th of the data is missing, and they don't feel that effects their results because it appears to happen randomly. Okaaaaayyyyy.....

4. Screw posterity!

I want a full set of the released data to check against the announced results. I also want to see just where the data is missing from to see if there is any correlation to the type of voting equipment used! :evilgrin:
