43. Another pattern I found.... |
|
I ran some plots, but I don't know how to post them. Regardless, it seems obvious that an increase in turnout per precinct must be a positive correlation with number of votes...and when I correlate Bush and Martinez I get .99 and very little variability (Pinellas County). When I do the same for Kerry/Castor, the correlation is less (.89) and the error is way more than expected around the line. In other words, why would an increase in voters in a district do anything except increase the number of votes for any candidate and especially for some candidates instead of others...(the only change expected is the slope or shape of the line). The increase in error appears to be due to manipulation of the vote in SOME precincts in Pinellas...without the raw data, it's the best I can thing of to find a pattern.
