The 2006 Midterms

Just before the 2006 midterms, I worked with Michael Collins (autorank) and
Alistair Thompson of SCOOP on a series of three articles to quantify the risk
of fraud in the 2006 Midterms.

The analysis forecast that the Democrats would gain control of the House and
Senate. It also indicated the House seats 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.

http://www.electiondefensealliance.org/landslide_denied_exit_polls_vs_vote_count_2006

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, although they barely
won Virginia and Montana. The Democratic Tsunami overcame the fraud in the House
and Senate.

There is no longer any doubt that the poll/vote discrepancies were caused by
uncounted and switched votes. Evidence of fraud was once again found in the
Final National Exit Poll which matched to the recorded vote count with the use
of fallacious weightings. The 2006 Final “How Voted in 2004” weights were
manipulated just like they were in the 2004 Final “How Voted in 2000”.

In 2006, the weights were transformed from 47 Bush/ 45 Kerry at 7pm to
49Bush/ 43 Kerry at 1pm the next day! This replicated the 41 Bush/39 Gore to
impossible 43 Bush/ 37 Gore weight changes in 2004. The net effect of the
change was to cut the Democratic margin in half -from 55-43% to 52-46%!

Applying realistic weights to the 7pm NEP (using the 12:22am 2004 NEP) the
Democratic margin becomes 56.7-42.1%, exactly matching the 120- Generic poll
trend projection! Was it a coincidence or confirmation? You decide.

http://www.pollingreport.com/2006.htm

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-BushCo 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 and he
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.





Generic Pre-election Poll Trend vs. the 7:07pm and Final National Exit Poll

To derive an approximation to the TRUE vote for all demographics, the 7pm NEP
vote shares and weights were adjusted to match the 57.8-40.2% Wikipedia
Democratic vote margin. The base case assumptions were that 4.0% of Democratic
votes and 1.4% of Republican/other votes were uncounted and 7% of Democratic
votes were switched to the Republicans.

The TRUE 16% Democratic margin was based on the 120-Generic poll linear trend
which 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. 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.

In both the 7:07pm and Final 1:00pm Exit Polls, the results were adjusted to
obtain an estimated TRUE vote. For each demographic, switched vote rates
were applied to final vote shares to determine pre-switch shares. Uncounted
votes were subtracted from the 7:07pm exit poll result. Unlike the Final, the
7:07pm poll was NOT matched to the vote count. Uncounted and switched vote
shares were added back to the Final since it was contaminated in matching to
the vote count.

The True Vote is given by:

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
7pm NEP vote shares and weights were adjusted to match the Wikipedia vote. The
base case assumptions were that 4.0% of Democratic votes and 1.4% of Republican
and thirsparty votes were uncounted and 7% of Democratic votes were switched to
the Republicans.

The 16% Democratic margin was based on the 120-Generic poll linear trend which
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.

120 Generic Poll Linear Regression Trend:
Dem = 46.98 + .0419x
GOP = 38.06 + .0047x

Substituting x=120 and allocating 60% (UVA) to the Democrats:
........Trend + UVA = Projection
Dem = 52.01 + 4.42 = 56.43%
Rep = 38.62 + 2.95 = 41.57%
