How to cheat -- How to lie

I once read an article on how to lie with graphs without really telling a lie. T'was interesting.

Here is another one.

1. Look at the percentage of democrats vrs. republicans in each precinct.

a. Find four predominant democratic precincts with about 80-90% democratic voters.

b. Note that statewide there are not four precincts that have anywhere near as high a percentage of republican voters.

2. Demand a 4 precinct hand recount of the democratic precincts.

Presto, the democrats have attempted to steal the election.

If statewide, the same number of pregnant chats for each party was punched, on a totally unbiased recount of the ballots the democrats could win several hundred more votes in the four precincts. If fact, it would be nearly impossible for this not to happen.

There would be no way for the republicans to net anywhere as high a percentage of votes in their 4 precincts, if they demanded a recount.

Argh -- it stinks to the high heavens.
