The 2006 Midterms

TruthIsAll

Just prior to the 2006 Midterms, three articles were written by the author with Michael Collins (autorank) and published by Alistair Thompson of SCOOP. The purpose was to quantify the risk of fraud in the Midterms. The analysis forecast that the Democrats would gain control of the House and Senate and indicated the House and Senate races where fraud was most likely to occur. Subsequently, documented evidence of voting anomalies confirmed that the landslide was denied and millions of votes were either uncounted or switched.

The election fraud model projected that the Democrats would win at least 240 House seats, but lose 10-15 to fraud. It correctly forecast that they would gain control of the Senate by winning six GOP-held seats. The Democratic Tsunami overcame the fraud in the House and Senate.

There is no longer any doubt that the poll/vote discrepancies in the 2006 midterms were caused by uncounted and switched votes. Evidence of fraud was once again found in the Final 2006 National Exit Poll. It was forced to match the recorded vote count with an implausible returning 2004 voter mix. The 2006 Final “Voted in 2004” returning voter mix was manipulated just like the 2004 “ Voted in 2000” mix.

In 2006, the returning Bush/Kerry voter mix was transformed from 47 / 45% at the 7pm timeline to 49/ 43% in the Final NEP. This replicated the 2004 NEP in which the returning Bush/Gore mix was changed from 41/39% at 12:22am to an impossible 43/ 37%, switching the Kerry win to Bush. The net effect of the change in 2006 was to cut the Democratic margin in half - from 55-43% to 52-46%. Applying a plausible returning voter mix to the 7pm NEP, the Democratic landslide margin grows to 56.7-42.1%, exactly matching the 120-Generic poll trend projection.

This is the best evidence that once again the Final Exit Poll was forced to match a fraudulent miscount. Simple logic dictates that if just one demographic requires impossible or implausible weights and/or vote shares in order to match the vote count, then all other demographics must be bogus as well.

Matching to the vote is nothing new; exit pollsters have been doing it long before Bush arrived on the scene and stolen elections became the norm. In the pre-Bush world, matching the Final NEP to an essentially fraud-free recorded vote made sense - until BushCo came along and stole the 2000 election, along with repeat performances in 2002 and 2004. The 2006 Democratic Tsunami overwhelmed the fraud but the Dems still "lost" 10-15 House seats they should have won.

Mark Lindeman, a poster on the Democratic Underground, has tried to debunk the work of election analysts who have argued that pre-election and unadjusted exit poll discrepancies are indicators of fraud. Referring to the final Pew 2006 Generic poll (47 Dem / 43% Rep), Mark said on the Democratic Underground : “personally, I think Pew was probably not far off”. That was a very interesting observation, considering that the Democrats won all 120 pre-election polls and he chose Pew, despite the fact that the margin was 10% below the average regression trend line.

The Generic poll model projected a 56-42% Democratic landslide with a vote share which steadily increased over the 14 month period from Sept. 2005 to Election Day. The GOP trend line was flat. The 120-poll linear time series regression graph shows that the trend line closely matched both the 7:0pm National Exit poll and the Wikipedia vote count.

The Final 2006 National Exit poll was matched to the recorded, fraudulent vote count, with more than the usual percentage of uncounted votes and switched votes. Literally thousands of reported machine “glitches” were documented nationwide; 18,000 missing votes in FL-13 caused the Democrat to lose. Virtually all documented vote switches were Democratic to Republican. As Casey Stengel used to say: you can look it up.

To derive an approximation to the TRUE vote for all demographics, the 7pm NEP vote shares and weights were adjusted to match the 57.8-40.2% Wikipedia Democratic vote margin. The base case assumptions were that 4.0% of Democratic votes and 1.4% of Republican/other votes were uncounted and 7% of Democratic votes were switched to the Republicans.

The TRUE 16% Democratic margin was based on the 120-Generic poll linear trend which was confirmed by the Wikipedia early vote count. It has always been the case that millions of ballots, mostly Democratic, are never counted. In this election, uncounted ballots accounted for less than half of the total discrepancy. The major fraud factor was vote-switching at the polling place and/or the central tabulator. The analysis does not include the millions of disenfranchised voters (mostly Democratic) who never got to the polls. The Generic LV pre-election polls, as one-sided as they were, low-balled the intended Democratic vote.

In both the 7:07pm and Final 1:00pm Exit Polls, the results were adjusted to obtain an estimated TRUE vote. For each demographic, switched vote rates were applied to final vote shares to determine pre-switch shares. Uncounted votes were subtracted from the 7:07pm exit poll result. Unlike the Final, the 7:07pm poll was NOT matched to the vote count. Uncounted and switched vote shares were added back to the Final since it was contaminated in matching to the vote count. The True Vote is given by:

TV = Recorded + Uncounted + Switched

2006 Uncounted and Switched Votes

The goal of this model was to determine the percentage of votes which needed to be switched from the Democrats to the Republicans in order to match the Nov. 9 CBS News reported 52.7% Democratic vote. The Democratic 120 Generic poll trend forecast 56.4%; the initial Wikipedia vote count was 57.7D-41.8R. The model assumes that the Wikipedia numbers represented the TRUE national vote. The analysis does not include the millions of disenfranchised

voters (mostly Democratic) who never got to the polls. The Generic LV pre-election polls, as one-sided as they were, low-balled the intended Democratic vote.

Based on historical statistics, approximately 3% of total votes cast are never counted. Approximately 75% of them are Democratic. The racial mix was used to approximate the number of uncounted votes in each state, assuming that 8% of non-whites and 2% of white votes were uncounted. The base case analysis assumes that 7% of the recorded votes were switched. To match the Wikipedia vote share, we assume that 3.16% of total votes cast were uncounted. Almost one in 12 Democratic votes must have been switched to the Republicans.

To derive an approximation to the TRUE vote in each demographic category, the 7pm NEP vote shares and weights were adjusted to match the Wikipedia vote. The base case assumptions were that 4.0% of Democratic votes and 1.4% of Republican/other votes were uncounted and 7% of Democratic votes were switched to the Republicans.

The 16% Democratic margin was based on the 120-Generic poll linear trend that was confirmed in the Wikipedia early vote count. It has always been the case that millions of ballots, mostly Democratic, are never counted. In this election, uncounted ballots accounted for less than half of the total discrepancy. The major fraud factor was vote-switching at the polling place and/or the central tabulator.

Assuming a 7.0% switch-vote rate, the Democratic TRUE vote was 56.94%, a close match to the Generic 120-Poll trend line projection. At an 8.5% switch rate the TRUE vote was 57.7%, matching the Wikipedia recorded vote share.

Generic Poll Projection Trend vs. Final 10 Poll Average

This is an update to the Generic poll model using two projection methods:

1) Allocating undecided voters (UVA) to the final 120-poll linear trend.

2) Allocating the UVA to the average of the final 10 Generic polls.

The 120-poll trend and 10-poll projections matched to within .05%.

The reported Democratic vote share was

1) 51.3% based on CBS state totals (11/09).

2) 52.7% based on CBS national totals.

3) 57.7% based on Wikipedia national totals.

4) 52.6% based on the CNN Final National Exit Poll (11/08).

Key model results:

Assuming the Democrats captured 60% of the undecided vote,

1-the 120-Generic poll trend line projected a 56.43% share

2-the Final 10 Generic poll average projected a 56.38% share

The probability is near ZERO that the vote/poll discrepancies were due to chance.

120 Generic Poll Linear Regression Trend:

Dem = 46.98 + .0419x

GOP = 38.06 + .0047x

Substituting x=120 and allocating 60% (UVA) to the Democrats:

Trend + UVA = Projection

Dem = 52.01 + 4.42 = 56.43%

Rep = 38.62 + 2.95 = 41.57%
