"Explicit statistical evidence of massive ballot tampering in Palm Beach, Fl"

"Explicit statistical evidence of massive ballot tampering in Palm Beach, Fl"

Errors only Occurred in Presidential Races?

Editor's Note: The following statistical analysis was sent to me by Robert Cook, PE, a nuclear engineer, with an MS in statistical quality control, a software testing specialist and QA manager, who has a track record for analyzing and correcting trends, errors, and mistakes in heavy construction projects (ships, power plants, nuclear reactors, military and aerospace vehicles, etc. for more than twenty years.

Robert Cook presents here a remarkable statistical analysis of the Palm Beach presidential ballot controversy that deserves serious investigation. He says that the controversial 19,120 Presidential race ballots at issue there were "destroyed by deliberate double-punching ballots in Palm Beach County FL with a 'second punch' for Al Gore or Pat Buchanan. (In 1996, an additional 15,000 Dole and Perot ballots were destroyed by double-punching presidential ballots in Palm Beach County, FL. *)

"It uses simplified but wide-ranging statistical comparisons to establish beyond doubt that democratic operatives "stole" by double-punching ballots approximately 15,000 Bush votes in Palm Beach County; and approximately 3,400 additional Buchanan votes."

Ref: Statistical evidence establishes beyond reasonable doubt that 19,120 Presidential race ballots were destroyed by deliberate double-punching ballots in Palm Beach County FL with a "second punch" for Al Gore or Pat Buchanan. (In 1996, an additional 15,000 Dole and Perot ballots were destroyed by double-punching presidential ballots in Palm Beach County, FL. *)

The national error rate of double-punching ballots is less than 1/2 of one percent, or at most, 1800 ballots in all of Palm Beach County, with the errors between all races and all candidates.

19,120 double punched ballots -all in one race, with "errors" only occurring two Presidential races against Republican opposition - is 33,000 "too many" to be an accident.

References:

(*9 Nov, 2000 CNN; Jim Smith, Former Florida Secretary of State; WSJ, 11-10-2000) (San Diego Union-Tribune, Nov 10, 2000, page A-12, Local Figure on Double Voting Only 0.3%; Haas Sees Red Flag in Florida Totals; by Caitlin Rother) (Los Vegas Sun, Nov 10, 2000. Statistics Point To More Than Random Error in Florida Vote; by Jace Radke)

The news media is utterly focused on the Democratic Party spin that voters were "confused" in Palm Beach, FL. They are ignoring the 15,000 Bush and 3,400 Buchanan votes that statistical evidence can show were stolen by fraud in these 19,120 ballots.

There is explicit statistical evidence of massive ballot tampering in Palm Beach FL. These ballots show Democratic voter fraud....NOT Republican fraud or "voter error" as publicized by the national media. Statistical evidence cannot prove any single ballot was tampered with, nor show which individual tampered with any single ballot. It can show specific places and times and methods where the fraud was done. (For example, if 15,000 dollars are missing from the register the day after your cashier left on a Los Vegas vacation, there is no direct evidence that the cashier stole the money. If, however, 19,120 dollars are missing from the register the next year when the cashier again leaves for vacation in Los Vegas, one has reason to investigate the cashier closely.)

Consider these "unusual" ballot problems in Palm Beach, FL - every one of them adds more Gore votes, and removed Republican and Reform party votes.

ONLY Palm Beach County Florida voters seem incapable of understanding and using this style of ballot.

Palm Beach County has an error rate TEN TIMES larger than reported in ANY other county in the nation using paper punch ballots! No information is available about the number of ballots invalidated for previous primary, state, and the 1998 Congressional votes. Unless an equal number (equal proportion of "invalid ballots" per primary voter) of ballots was double-punched in the 1996 primaries, the 1998 primaries, and the 1998 Congressional races ..... the Palm Beach election officials are specifically guilty of deliberate ballot tampering fraud in the year 2000 Presidential elections.)

ONLY in Palm Beach FL were 15,000 ballots "invalidated" (for double punched ballots) in the 1996 Presidential election. (This is almost unique among the entire nation! (Certain central city Democratic precincts in Chicago reported 120,000 double-punched ballots; and Duval County in Florida reported 22,000 double-punched ballots. Neither used the same arrangement of candidates as at Palm Beach. This shows that "lining up" buttons was NOT actually an issue at Palm Beach, but was created as an excuse to blame the symptoms of fraud at Palm Beach.)

One early excuse given to the national news media by Democratic "spokesmen" to explain the Palm Beach fraud was that people were 'exchanging" their double-punched ballots - and were given new ones...If so, over 26 people per minute "were confused" and voted twice for President! This many errors were supposedly made, detected, and corrected (by handing out new ballots) while no person made any "error" in any other race. This excuse would also mean that more voters were being handed new ballots per minute than new voters were being signed in. (19,120 "double punched" Democratic ballots divided by 12 hours, there are fewer than 100 precincts in Palm Beach County where the precinct level returns are suspect . Significantly, the massive number of errors occurred only in a few of the precincts, and all of those precincts were strongly Democratic. In precinct 144F, for example, there was only one "counted" republican voter for president.)

However, the "double-punched" ballots counted in the election were NOT exchanged, and were actually read by the voting machine. They are the symptom and the method of the fraud. There is no reason for this early Democratic Party statement other than that of beginning a cover-up for the double-punched ballots.

Not surprisingly, this early fable was not maintained, and has not be repeated. It also has not been retracted or contradicted by follow-up stories in the national news media.

ONLY in Palm Beach (and in ONLY the most heavily Democratic precincts) were 19,120 ballots rejected in 2000 for double punching....(This is a 4.4% error rate overall; in the rest of Florida there is less than 1/2 of ONE percent "double punch" error rate! (Unofficially, this error rate was 15% in predominately Afro-American precincts, and 10% in precincts with large numbers of Jewish retirees.) In strongly Republican precincts, the error rate was the "usual" 1/2 of one percent.) San Diego County has 800,000 voters, and (overall) has more senior, retired, minority, and new immigrants than does Palm Beach County. Since all of these were represented the 1992, 1996, and 2000 results in the San Diego double count totals, there can be no excuse for "innocent errors" in Palm Beach.

ONLY in Palm Beach did this "double punch" error happen ONLY in the Gore-Bush-Buchanan selections for President. (In a truly random "error," the mistakes happen in every race, all at about the same rate. In Palm Beach, the massive errors (over 19,000) ONLY happened in the Presidential race.)

ONLY in Palm Beach has the news media complained about "massive" ballot confusion. In the 43 counties in.......

The Democratic Party -- a once honorable group that was able to boast some truly great Americans -- has been almost completely co-opted by leftist extremists, dyed-in-the-wool socialists, fellow travellers, and other anti-American malcontents. The modern Democratic Party rivals the Sandinistas and the Bolsheviks in their extremism and leftist beliefs. The modern Democratic Party is DANGEROUS folks, very, very dangerous. Its over-riding goal is socialism and the yoke of dependency, which it MUST create in the masses in order for it to gain and maintain control. To the modern Democratic Party power is EVERYTHING, and it will stop at nothing to obtain it. We are in the midst of a defining struggle for the very soul of America. We cannot afford to lose this struggle.

Ask what was unconstitutional about the election. They usually don't even know what the Constitution is.

The night of the election was most interesting.

I can still remember the Democrats arguing late at night and early morning about how to count the ballots.

They'd caucus, meet with the reporters, and then recount. The result was the same every time -- Gore came up short.

Recount... did Gore win? No. We must not be counting the ballots correctly. Recount...did Gore win? No. We must not be counting the ballots correctly. They did this all night long.

What a circus. And it is totally ludicrous for the Democrats to claim that the election was stolen from them.

I fear there will be even greater illegal efforts to change the outcome of this presidential election. The dummycraps have a lot to lose if President Bush maintains office.

They had done everything needed to steal the election themselves, and a gracious Providence just nuked all their efforts with a little tweak.

Seems more obvious to me every time I look at this history.

I know that President Bush was properly elected. What needs to be BUMPED is that the fix was in and the election very nearly was STOLEN away by criminal tampering.

The guilty have gotten away with their actions.

Occasionally, some Democrat LaLaland dweller will say to me that the courts gave George Bush the election. My reply is always the same,"if you are interested in reality, the truth is that the Democrats attempted to steal the election and did not quite succeed." I don't give a flip whether they like my statement or not.

I usually remark that the Democrats perfected vote fraud in the '90's, but that they bungled their theft in 2000. I imagine some Dem operatves in FL are "sleeping with the fishes" because of this. Not that anything will really be done to prevent more of the same in 2004.

"and a gracious Providence just nuked all their efforts with a little tweak ..."

Which is why whenever the dims screech Bush stole the election, the majority of Americans say "Thank, God!"

If you do nothing else today, send this article on to remind everyone of the FRAUD perpetrated on the American People by the Democratic Party.


Good advice and have done so. Thanks for this intel, it is heavy duty artillery.

I know Robert. I suspect a typo.

Just look at Cook's profile page and see his achievements. That's just a typo.
