You Are Embarassing Yourself

Mark Eby — 11/10/2004 3:08:55 AM (archived)

Are you saying Kerry's supporters are so stupid that 6 % (do the math) of them filled out their ballots wrong while none of Bush's did? Even for Kerry supporters, a 6 % error rate seems like a rather high estimate to me. You are being utterly ridiculous. Random errors are not going to favor either candidate in a nearly equally split electorate. This along with a sample size equaling the total population of interest (voters) means only a statistical idiot would think the 3% margin of error applicable to sample sizes of 500 to 1500 applies to 120 million voters.

Regards,
Mark

    - For polling to predict elections it could be within "zone of error", but in a election it's decisive. (n/t) - gbaikie - 11/10/2004 12:13:33 AM
      - re:BS he has no Mandate. It's always the way that the winner trys to redefine mean of words. Mandate is not going to be one of those words. He is a lame duck with no mandate face it! (n/t) - Chris Vancil - 11/10/2004 12:19:53 AM
