SO SORRY I now believe my post CONSISTENT Voting Patterns in Ohio Counties

[mod mom]

May be outdated info! I belong to several election reform groups and the info was forwarded to me through one of the groups. when I posted it I believed it to be accurate and current due to the source. I now have reason to believe it is outdated and the results questioned. I have emialed the source and am awaiting a response.

Please see posts 40-41 in the original post on Consistent Patterns, posted here.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=384458&mesg_id=384458
Again, I am sorry for any misinformation or direction this post has caused.

1. It hasn't caused any problem. It was preliminary and you made

clear it was a report. Things like that are helpful because the get people thinking. Let's see what shows up on judges running ahead of Democratic candidates.

2. Better to post and correct, than to miss something big 8) n/t

[Time for change]

3. We all make mistakes

It's unusual, however, for someone to have the courage to print a retraction when they find out about it.

Why can't our MSM be like that?

[mod mom]

4. Didn't want others to waste time down a dead alley. Others here on ER+D

would do the same. Maybe the MSM could learn something IF WE WEREN'T MOVED TO A HARD TO FIND BACK FORUM!

[adolfo]

5. Just cause it's old doesn't mean it is useless

It doesn't hurt to analyze things under different angles.

Check out these results and compare to Florida. Does anyone
have party registration totals (reps,dems,other)for Ohio? I'd
like to see if there is a link.

(http://www.feminist.org/pdfs/OH_election_precert.pdf)

This breaks it down by county, by not by party. In Ohio they don't have registration data by party.

9. Dang...looks like a 2% difference between states (at least).

Heya Adolfo
Can you produce an average % easily, I'd curious of the difference.

I'm assuming this is on a spreadsheet, do not spend alot of time on it, I'm just curious.

Microsoft Excel is my friend. :think:

11. 2% when mixed with machine allocation, challengers, caging techniques,

voter registration failures is certainly significant. Is the 2.24 for the entire state so dem counties (most prominent and problematic are Franklin, Cuyahoga, summitt, Lucas and Mahoning.)
