Who gets credit for that exit poll graph?
Who made this chart?


I copied it to my server and linked to it so I wouldn't steal someone's bandwidth, but I ought to be linking to the site of whoever made it now that I'm starting to get a fair amount of hits on that page - and someone asked me the source.

Any idea?

1. Be careful using this graph
It includes generalizations that make it subject to legitimate challenge. For example, ~80% of the counties in Ohio use punch card, not electronic voting - yet Ohio is identified as an electronic voting state. I believe in one of the earlier threads that two or three other states were misidentified.

<<Ohio did not use modern electronic voting machines in this election. Six counties use an older form of electronic voting, which has a means of verifying the accuracy of the vote. In 69 Ohio Counties, punch card ballots were used.>>

There are 88 counties in Ohio.

If mass bumbling or fraud actually occurred, and we use questionable data and analysis to get their attention now it will be easy for them to disprove it and it will make it much harder to get their attention when we have good, solid, well analyzed data to prove our point.

Thanks, I just put a little disclaimer on my site about that.

3. TruthIsAll has been a chartmaster on these issues for some time now.
This may be his handiwork.

4. I didn't do it. I believe it was Faun Otter.

I just borrowed it because I felt it was not seen by enough people.
It started the shitstorm and helped get the ball rolling.

I created a few other graphs which were just variations on a theme.

Thank Faun for the BIG, PRETTY ONE.
