For example in Florida, almost 800,000 votes are already in, and when you look at the party breakdown, you see that 52.8% of the ballots are in from Republicans to 33.7% for Democrats.

I don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize that GOP votes are coming in at a 19% higher clip than the Democrats in Florida.

No rocket scientists required, but a basic knowledge of math and ratios is required to realize that 52.8% vs 33.7% is a 56.7% HIGHER CLIP NOT 19% WHICH IS JUST THE NUMERICAL DIFFERENCE.

Man, I hate it when rocket scientists pose as mathematicians.

this drives me crazy too. I see it all the time ... even saw it in the Stanford U student newspaper.
