ELECTION FRAUD UPDATE: Must...keep...going...

Thanks in part to Republican efforts at retaliation against Ohio vote-count attorneys, new statistical data has been formulated on the 2004 elections. From US CountVotes.org we have this: "Prominent Statisticians Refute 'Explanation' of 2004 U.S. Exit Poll Discrepancies in New Edison/Mitofsky Report and Urge Investigation of U.S. Presidential Election Results. President Bush won November's election by 2.5% yet exit polls showed Kerry leading by 3%. Which was correct?" and "The pollsters at Edison/Mitofsky agreed that their 2004 exit polls, for whatever reason, had the poorest accuracy in at least twenty years."

From the statistician's response report (PDF):
"There are statistical indications that a systematic, nationwide shift of 5.5% of the vote may have occurred, and that we'll never get to the bottom of this, unless we gather the data we need for mathematical analysis and open, robust scientific debate.", says Bruce O'Dell, USCountVotes' Vice President.
...that precincts with hand-counted paper ballots showed no statistical discrepancy between the exit polls and the official results, but for other voting technologies, the overall discrepancy was far larger than the polls’ margin of error.
What can I say?
