I can't believe no one has commented on this post! Do you realize what the implications of this information means? I realize it's full of numbers which few like to read. But think about the numbers. It makes absolutely no sense to me, unless we have witnessed MASSIVE FRAUD!
Can anyone verify this information?
First the Demographics... pbcelections.org
This is the relevant last page of the report. Compare the party totals with the actual votes from 2000 and 1996:
ABC News 2000 Florida county returns (Palm Beach):
Gore 269,696
Nader 5,564
Bush 152,954
Buchanan 3,407
(liberal 2000 total 274,833)
America Votes #22 1996 Florida county returns (Palm Beach):
Clinton 230,687
Dole 133,811
Perot 30,744
(conservative 1996 total 164,555)
The number of liberals in Palm Beach went up by 44,000 in 4 years, but the number of conservatives went DOWN by 11,600 in the same time period. This is a very statistically significant event.
There are 296,122 registered Democrats in Palm Beach County.
There are 231,626 registered Republicans in Palm Beach County.
There are 131,089 registered OTHER in Palm Beach County.
274,833 liberals voted Tuesday.
156,361 conservatives voted Tuesday.
Let's ignore the OTHER registered voters for the moment. 274,833 divided by 296,122 = 92.8% turnout for the Democrats. 156,361 divided by 231,626 = 67% turnout for the Republicans.
If we figure that a fair percentage of the OTHER voters voted for Bush, then that drives the percentage of Republican voters down under 50%. |
