WOW, you are going to looove this...

[RaulVB]

So the "difference" between Bush and Kerry in OHIO is today:

118.775 votes

The Nader total for 2000:

117.857 votes

The odds of getting EXACTLY THE SAME NUMBERS BUT SHIFTING THE ORDER OF THE LAST 2 PAIRS BACKWARDS are...

Yes, you got that right!

[Goldeneye]

1. I really have no idea....

what are the odds?

[jsamuel]

2. ...

[latteromden]

3. Oh shit. They're laughing at us again. (n/t)

[sam sarrha]

4. and if you consider the voters turned away from the one presinct with 2

voting machines with Thousands of voters in it.. the people that did vote waited 5 to 9 hours, and i bet it was in a Democratic area.

then Kerry would have been President.. the Moron stold another election... he is still the pResident !!!

5. same odds as 3 repubs 1 TX county winning with exactly 18,181 votes each

in the same election cycle

6. And these Colorado numbers?

Posted recently by IdaBriggs to the Colorado forum

Bush (R)........1,058,040.....Kerry (D).....944,052
Salazar (D).....1,023,803.....Coors (R).....944,520

8. Holy crap!

Let's just make up some figures to fill in the loser column!

[DoYouEverWonder]

10. Same thing happened in FL

Bush (R)........3,964,522.....Kerry (D).....3,583,544.....Other 61,744
Martinez (R).....3,672,864.....Castor (D).....3,590,201.....Other 166,829


Total Votes Pres........7,609,810

Total Votes Senate........7,429,894


Undervotes = 179,916 more in the Senate race than the Presidential race.

Analysis: 105,085 more people voted for other candidates in the Senate race than the race for President. Plus another 179,916 more people didn't even vote in the Senate Race at all. Yet Castor got 6,657 more votes than Kerry?

7. I hope you're joking..

Because to accomplish that would take the cooperation of the Dem counties.. who would have to reject Just-enough provisionals, and play with the remainder to tally just the right number of votes.... and of course every other county would have to be absolutely full of corrupt, GOP luvin fraudsters..

BTW, you asked about the odds of the numbers working out that way. It's about the same odds as them working out in a way where you had to add 10 votes, subtract 25, divide the remainder by the circumferance of Bush's head, then multiply by the.. you get the point.

9. The circumference of W's head is about 3 meters...that of his brain is

around 3 inches (to mix metaphorical units)...:eyes:
