1. Am I mistaken..or is there no changes? Except that Florida

county that changed by 0.2 percent.

[elperromagico]

2. There are a few. Marion County in IN, for instance, went for Kerry.

It had gone GOP in both of the previous elections.

There are a few others that have either gone R or D in previous elections, but went the opposite direction last year.

In general, though, the voting habits remain very constant.

3. So what do you think this means? Not much movement, that is?

It's almost evidence for No-Fraud

[GOPBasher]

4. Generally, the most populous areas are strongly Dem.

The Repubs get the smaller counties with less people, but there are so many more of them, thus resulting in the close political split in the country right now.

[Darryl Cramer]

5. I love stats as much as the next guy...

but a little synthesis, analysis and interpretation would help.

6. You want me to do everything for you?
