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
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 andhe 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
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.

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
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.
