An award-winning statistician and a celebrated journalist investigate the 2004 election results. According to the official count, Bush beat Kerry in the 2004 US presidential election by a margin of three million votes. The exit polls, however, had predicted a margin of victory for Kerry of five million votes. Freeman and Bleifuss analyse the exit poll data and look at documented examples of conventional vote suppression and outright vote fraud. They investigate the possibility that enough election fraud occurred to determine the outcome of the presidential race. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

A DNC report never seriously considered the possibility of fraud.
The authors estimate that John Kerry really won by 5%, “a swing of 8 to 10 million votes from the official count” (p. 174). “In short, every calculation of how America voted indicates that, rather than giving Bush a 3-million-vote plurality, American voters gave Kerry a plurality of at least 5 to 7 million votes” (p.175).
Print and broadcast media have downplayed, ridiculed, or ignored these issues, because, they say, a vast conspiracy would be needed—but the authors argue that this is not so. The New York Times played a leading role in squelching the story. Yet John Allen Paulos, the 2003 winner of the American Association for the Advancement of Science award for the promotion of the public understanding of science, published an Op-Ed in the Philadelphia Inquirer endorsing Freeman’s analysis and expressing surprise at the lack of academic interest. Columns on the subject were killed by the Chicago Tribune’s syndication service, Tribune Media Services.
Compellingly written and analytically cogent, this book is written by an expert in survey design (including polling) and an investigative journalist. ( )
