Florida: Further confirmation of a Kerry landslide
TruthIsAll
In every election, millions of votes are never counted. They represent a significant component of the exit poll discrepancies. According to the 2000 Census, 110.8m votes were cast but only 105.4m recorded, leaving 5.4m uncounted. Most were from heavily democratic minority districts. Assuming that 75% were Gore votes, his true margin was close to 3 million, not the 540,000 recorded. But that doesn’t include likely vote-switching to Bush on DREs and optical scanners. And don’t forget the millions of disenfranchised Democrats who never even got to the voting booth. Gore’s 540,000 “official” vote margin is a long-running media myth. The 2000 election wasn’t even close, although the media would like us to believe it was. Only the 5-4 Supreme Court decision was close.
Consider the Florida 2000 fiasco. Bush “won” by 537 “official” votes before the Supreme Court aborted the recount - and 175,010 spoiled (under-punched and over-punched) ballots were never counted. Since approximately 75% were intended for Gore, he probably won Florida by more than 80,000 votes. And don’t forget the thousands of Butterfly ballots which fooled Gore voters into voting for Buchanan.
Approximately 54% of the spoiled ballots were in black districts where Gore won 91% of the vote. Assuming the other 46% were evenly split between Gore and Bush, then 126,000 (72%) of the spoiled ballots were Gore votes. And the infamous “Butterfly” ballot caused several thousand Gore voters to mistakenly vote for Buchanan in Palm Beach County. Buchanan's vote share was 0.80% in Palm Beach and just 0.25% elsewhere.
Dan Rather's expose on voting machines in Florida 2000 showed that poor-quality paper used in punch card machines was a major cause of ballot spoilage in highly Democratic precincts. Faulty paper had never before been considered a factor in mechanical voting failure. The spoiled punched cards in Florida 2000 were just the tip of the national iceberg.
Kerry had a 100,000 built-in vote advantage going into the election. He could count on a solid majority (70-80%) of 90,000 returning Nader voters. No more hanging chads from spoiled punch cards; Touch screens and Optical scanners would be used for input to the central tabulators. Furthermore, the Democrats had a remarkable voter registration and GOTV effort. In the strongest Democratic areas, the pace of new registration was 60 percent higher than in 2000, while it was just 12 percent higher in the heaviest Republican areas. Of course, they had to overcome Bush’s popularity; he had a whopping 48.5% approval rating on Election Day.
The Florida pre-election polls were trending to Kerry. After allocating the undecided vote, Kerry led the final 10-poll average by 51.1-48.8%. Kerry was on track to a 200,000 vote win.
But Bush “won” the official vote by 52.1-47.1%, a 381,000 margin. Kerry won TS counties by 51.3-47.8%, but Bush won OS counties by a whopping 57.0-42.3%. Kerry’s low vote shares in the three most heavily populated Democratic TS counties (Palm Beach, Broward, Dade) are highly suspect. The TS county vote share matched the exit poll to within 1%, but the OS county share deviated by 9% in favor of Bush. The probability was virtually zero that Kerry's TS vote share would exceed his state-wide share by 4.2% and his OS county share by 9%.
Consider Florida’s implausible vote count by machine type and 2004 Voter Registration. The Democrats had a 41.6- 36.1% registration advantage in Touch Screen (TS) counties and a 41.1-39.5% edge in Optical Scan (OS) counties. Bush’s vote share was 131% of his registration share in TS (DRE) counties and 145% in Optiscan counties. For Kerry, the corresponding percentages were 125% and 102%. Was the vote suppressed in TS (Democratic) counties and padded in Optiscan (Republican) counties? Since Bush was first selected in 2000, the Florida Republican vote share to registration share ratio has increased sharply compared to the Democrats.
Comparing the last three elections, we see a dramatic rise in the ratio of Bush vote share to registration share:
In 1996, Dole’s vote share was 106% of the registered Republican share.
Clinton’s share was equal (100%) to the registered Democratic share.
In 2000, Bush’s vote share was 128% of the registered Republican share.
Gore’s share was 109% of the registered Democratic share.
In 2004, Bush’s vote share was 138% of the registered Republican share.
Kerry’s share was 114% of the registered Democratic share.
In 2004, the Kerry vote/registration ratio was 84%; for Bush, it was 102%. Democrats outnumbered Republicans by 369,000, yet Bush won by 381,000 votes. Bush received 61,000 more votes than registered Republicans; Kerry had 689,000 fewer votes than registered Democrats. Was the vote suppressed in TS (Democratic) counties and padded in Optiscan (Republican) counties?
To match the recorded vote, Bush needed 21.3% of the statewide Democratic vote (15% in TS counties and 28% in OS counties).
If Kerry won 7% (his National Exit Poll share) of Florida Republicans, he needed 79% of Democrats in OpScan counties and 86% in TS (DRE) counties to win the state.
So how did Bush do it?
Could it have been the Independent vote?
No, according to the Composite Florida exit poll, Independents voted 60-38% for Kerry.
Could it have been late undecided voters who made up their minds in the month prior to the election?
No, undecideds voted 61-38% for Kerry.
Could it have been new voters?
No, Kerry won first-timers by 58-41%. The Democratic GOTV effort overwhelmed the Republicans.
Could it have been that voters favored an AWOL “War President” over a Medal of Honor winner?
No, Bush average approval rating was 48% on Election Day (11 national polls).
Could it have been the 90,000 returning Nader 2000 voters?
No, the Composite National Exit Poll (13047 respondents) indicated that Kerry led Bush by 64-17%.
The Final NEP (13660 respondents) had the spread as 71-21%, a 45,000 vote margin.
Could it have been the voting machines?
Do you believe in magic?
HAVA seat.
Let’s crunch some numbers.
Science works by assuming that the explanation that best fits the data is correct. But new data must always be tested to either strengthen the case or cause it to be rejected in favor of a better explanation.
The unadjusted, "pristine" Florida exit poll had Kerry leading by 51.0-48.2%. The Florida General Exit Poll indicated that the election was a virtual tie (see the Gender demographic). The Final State and National Exit poll demographic weights and/or vote shares are forced to match the recorded vote count. It’s standard operating procedure.
But a closer analysis shows significant Bush bias in exit poll weights and vote shares. County registration data, the pre-election polling trend, Bush’s approval and exit poll demographics indicate that Kerry won Florida by 200-300,000 votes.
The Florida Exit Poll raised these red flags:
1) Party-ID weights: Dem 38/Rep 39%
* The actual Florida 2004 Voter Registration shares were Dem 41.6 / Rep 36.1%
2) Bush led voters who decided one month before the election by 54-46%.
* Late September pre-election polls indicated that the race was tied.
* Kerry led voters who decided in the final month by 61-38%.
3) Bush approval: 53% (35% strong)
* Actual approval was 48.5% (average of 11 national polls).
4) Urban Vote Share:
The Florida exit poll indicated Bush led by 53-46%.
* The 7:33pm National Exit Poll update indicated that Kerry led by 57-41%.
The pre-election 10-poll moving average projected Kerry by 51.1-48.8%.
The unadjusted exit poll (WPE method) had Kerry winning by 51.0-48.2%.
The following post-election models confirmed the pre-election and unadjusted exit polls:
1) Election Calculator:
Final NEP vote shares with weights calculated from the 2000 vote, uncounted votes, voter mortality and 95% turnout of 2000 voters in 2004.
Kerry won by 51.4-48.0%, a 260,000 vote margin.
2) DRE (TS) Optical Scan (OS) county registration weight with plausible vote shares.
Kerry won by 52.0-46.8%, a 400,000 vote margin.
3) Uncounted and switched vote adjustments to the final 2004 recorded vote.
Kerry won by 51.3-48.2%, a 240,000 vote margin.

IM WPE
The statewide WPE (Within Precinct Error) is the average difference in margin between the raw, unadjusted exit poll and recorded vote. Florida precincts had an average 7.8% WPE. The unadjusted exit poll result was not provided by E-M in their Evaluation Report. But given the WPE, the raw, unadjusted exit poll shares can be calculated from the recorded vote shares:
Kerry = Final Recorded + .5* WPE = 47.1 + 3.9 = 51.0%.
Bush = Final Recorded – .5* WPE = 52.1 - 3.9 = 48.2%
Best GEO Survey Estimate
The Best GEO is the estimate with the lowest Standard Error on the Difference (SEDF) using the cumulative precinct tallies for each candidate.
Prior Estimate
Prior Estimates are based upon pre-election surveys conducted in each state. It is used in combination with the Best Survey Estimate on Election Day to create the Composite Estimate.
Composite Estimate
The Composite is the weighted average of the Prior Estimate and Best Survey Estimate. It is most often the estimate used in the survey weighting process to create the exit poll analysis data on Election Day before the actual vote is reported View the Florida General Exit Poll demographic calculations below.
Best SPM
The Best SPM is the adjusted estimate computed using actual vote returns for each sampled precinct.
Implausible Bush Vote Shares
The following analysis shows that the Bush Florida vote was implausible.
He needed 21.3% of the statewide Democratic vote, 15% in DRE (TS) counties and a whopping 28% in OS counties.

Sensitivity Analysis I
Calculate Kerry’s Florida vote share and margin over a range of TS and OS county registration/vote share scenarios.
If Kerry won 7% (his National Exit Poll share) of Florida Republicans, then to win the state he needs just 79% of Democrats in OpScan counties and 86% in TS (DRE) counties.
