Reply #52: Putting words in my mouth again... [View All]

[Mr_Spock]

I have not claimed that there cannot be error in the "hard data", all I have done is agree with the DKos article that exit polls are not the be all, end all in proving that there is an issue with the "hard vote", they are a tool, but they cannot be used exclusively to prove voter fraud as they have their own bias that cannot be factored out as the bias is not completely quantifiable.

The "guilty of a crime" argument is a straw man argument and completely irrelevant.

Do not call me indifferent - I am anything but indifferent - putting words in my mouth again. I think the data should be examined by independent statisticians to verify if the techniques used to factor out sample error are valid.

The exit poll discrepancies DO arouse suspicion in me - once again you are putting words in my mouth - I am interested in how we can get a definitive determination if the bias in in the exit polls or if there is an error in the vote tally. Stating definitively that voter fraud occurred without an independent investigation is not valid IMHO. Why are you so interested in castigating someone who simply brings forth evidence that exit polls in themselves are not sufficient to prove voter fraud? Why would you assume that I do not want to find, or believe in voter fraud? That is disappointing to me - my last word was "discuss...", not "castigate...".
