Simple mathematics proves that the 2004 and 2008 elections were fraudulent. In both elections, the returning voter mix required for the Final National Exit Poll to match the recorded vote was not just implausible – it was impossible. According to the Final NEP, more former Bush 2000 and 2004 voters returned to vote than were living in 2004 and 2008. The statistical anomaly has no rational explanation other than election fraud. The fact that it occurred twice is not coincidental.
Based on the recorded 2000 vote, Bush voter turnout in 2004 was an impossible 110.4%; Gore voter turnout was a plausible 94%. Based on the recorded 2004 vote, Bush voter turnout in 2008 was an impossible 102%; Kerry voter turnout was an implausibly low 87%. Coincidentally, based on the 2004 unadjusted exit poll, Bush voter turnout in 2008 was 110.4% - exactly the same as in 2004; Kerry voter turnout was a ridiculously low 80%.
Based on the 2004 recorded vote, and assuming 85% Kerry and 95% Bush voter turnout in 2008, Obama’s share exceeded his official 52.9% share. There are two scenarios:
1- The 2004 election was fraud-free (Bush 50.7-Kerry 48.3%): Obama’s share is 54.4%.
2- The 2004 election was fraudulent (Kerry 52.0- Bush 47.0%): Obama’s share is 56.6%.
Based on the 2000 recorded vote, if 85% of Gore voters and an impossible1 00% of Bush voters turned out in 2004, Kerry wins with 50.3%.
Proving that Obama and Kerry both did much better than the official recorded vote is really a straightforward exercise in logic. The key measure is turnout of prior election voters in the current election. A plausible voter mix is derived by adjusting the 2000, 2004 and 2008 recorded votes for a 1.2% annual mortality rate and assuming a 95% turnout of prior election voters still living. When reasonable, plausible estimates are made for returning (and new) voters, the resulting Obama and Kerry shares are 4% (and more than 6 million votes) higher than the official shares.
Note that there is no possible rebuttal of the recorded vote and mortality rates. The only unknown is the percent turnout of prior election voters (still living) who returned to vote. But unlike the implied NEP turnout, they must surely be less than 100%. The equal 95% turnout assumption is based on historical turnout rates. Since prior election voter turnout is a critical assumption that determines the number of new voters, a sensitivity analysis is required to analyze other Gore/Bush and Kerry/Bush returning voter scenarios. The sensitivity tables display the Obama and Kerry vote shares for each combination. This should satisfy those who question base case voter turnout assumption. At a glance they can view the effects of deviations from the base case.
In 2008, Obama won the recorded vote by 9.5 million (69.5-59.9m). The analysis indicates that he must have won by at least 16m votes (73-57m). And that is conservative since it assumes the 2004 62-59m recorded vote (zero fraud). Obama won by 22 million (76-54m) assuming the more-likely fraud scenario: Kerry won by the unadjusted aggregate exit poll 52-47% margin.
Since the US 2008 Vote Census is not yet available, uncounted votes are not included in the analysis. In every election, 70-80% of uncounted votes are Democratic. The analysis indicates that Kerry won by 52.5-46.1% (64-56m) - not including 3.45 million uncounted votes. The calculated Obama and Kerry True Vote shares are therefore both conservative.
The Obama, McCain, Bush and Kerry shares of returning voters are based on the National Exit Poll. The preliminary NEP is the best source, if it is available as it was in 2004. The Preliminary 2008 NEP is not available, so the Final published shares were used. The 2004 Final NEP increased the Bush shares of returning and new voters over the Preliminary 12:22am NEP and changed the Bush/Gore returning voter mix from 41/39% to 43/37%. These changes were necessary in order to match the recorded count.
Based on the 2004 recorded vote and assuming 100% prior voter turnout,
86.5% of Kerry and 102.3% of Bush voters had to turn out in 2008.
Based on the 2004 unadjusted exit poll and assuming 95% prior voter turnout,
84.5% of Kerry and 116.4% of Bush voters had to turn out in 2008.
Based on the 2000 recorded vote and assuming 100% prior voter turnout,
94.0% of Gore and 110.4% of Bush voters had to turn out in 2008.
Based on the 2000 unadjusted exit poll and assuming 95% prior voter turnout,
96.9% of Gore and 118.6% of Bush voters had to turn out in 2008.

The fact that it occurred twice is not coincidental.
Based on the recorded 2000 vote, Bush voter turnout in 2004 was an impossible 110.4%; Gore voter turnout was a plausible 94%. Based on the recorded 2004 vote, Bush voter turnout in 2008 was an impossible 102%; Kerry voter turnout was an implausibly low 87%. Coincidentally, based on the 2004 unadjusted exit poll, Bush voter turnout in 2008 was 110.4% - exactly the same as in 2004; Kerry voter turnout was a ridiculously low 80%.

1- The 2004 election was fraud-free (Bush 50.7-Kerry 48.3%): Obama’s share is 54.4%.
2- The 2004 election was fraudulent (Kerry 52.0- Bush 47.0%): Obama’s share is 56.6%.
Based on the 2000 recorded vote, if 85% of Gore voters and an impossible1 00% of Bush voters turned out in 2004, Kerry wins with 50.3%.
Proving that Obama and Kerry both did much better than the official recorded vote is really a straightforward exercise in logic. The key measure is turnout of prior election voters in the current election. A plausible voter mix is derived by adjusting the 2000, 2004 and 2008 recorded votes for a 1.2% annual mortality rate and assuming a 95% turnout of prior election voters still living. When reasonable, plausible estimates are made for returning (and new) voters, the resulting Obama and Kerry shares are 4% (and more than 6 million votes) higher than the official shares.
Note that there is no possible rebuttal of the recorded vote and mortality rates. The only unknown is the percent turnout of prior election voters (still living) who returned to vote. But unlike the implied NEP turnout, they must surely be less than 100%. The equal 95% turnout assumption is based on historical turnout rates. Since prior election voter turnout is a critical assumption that determines the number of new voters, a sensitivity analysis is required to analyze other Gore/Bush and Kerry/Bush returning voter scenarios. The sensitivity tables display the Obama and Kerry vote shares for each combination. This should satisfy those who question base case voter turnout assumption. At a glance they can view the effects of deviations from the base case.
In 2008, Obama won the recorded vote by 9.5 million (69.5-59.9m). The analysis indicates that he must have won by at least 16m votes (73-57m). And that is conservative since it assumes the 2004 62-59m recorded vote (zero fraud). Obama won by 22 million (76-54m) assuming the more-likely fraud scenario: Kerry won by the unadjusted aggregate exit poll 52-47% margin.
Since the US 2008 Vote Census is not yet available, uncounted votes are not included in the analysis. In every election, 70-80% of uncounted votes are Democratic. The analysis indicates that Kerry won by 52.5-46.1% (64-56m) - not including 3.45 million uncounted votes. The calculated Obama and Kerry True Vote shares are therefore both conservative.
The Obama, McCain, Bush and Kerry shares of returning voters are based on the National Exit Poll. The preliminary NEP is the best source, if it is available as it was in 2004. The Preliminary 2008 NEP is not available, so the Final published shares were used. The 2004 Final NEP increased the Bush shares of returning and new voters over the Preliminary 12:22am NEP and changed the Bush/Gore returning voter mix from 41/39% to 43/37%. These changes were necessary in order to match the recorded count.
Based on the 2004 recorded vote and assuming 100% prior voter turnout,
86.5% of Kerry and 102.3% of Bush voters had to turn out in 2008.
Based on the 2004 unadjusted exit poll and assuming 95% prior voter turnout,
84.5% of Kerry and 116.4% of Bush voters had to turn out in 2008.
