Reply #5: The numbers come from making assumptions; one has to decide [View All]

[berniew1]

which assumptions are supported by the documentation and evidence. The assumptions are stated. and there is documentation, evidence in the associated link to help in assessing which assumptions appear to match the evidence. But Dade county is sort of problematic, since the data used as a base from 2000 is known to be problematic. Dade (and some other counties) are known to have had some of the same types of suppression in 2000 as in 2004. Along with the misvotes and undercounts(hanging chad issue). So the actual problem may be much more than identified by my analysis method. I did a more detailed analysis of Palm Beach by precinct, and that could be done for Dade as well. But even that uses the 2000 precinct votes as a base. So has a similar problem. Actual problems likely even more than what I identify, and maybe much more.

Someone from Dade has expressed interest in doing more on Dade county. Common Cause has some volunteers that are supposedly interested, but I don't have contact with them. Though I'm a Common Cause member from another county.
