Boies in a tv press conference now, using statistics to mislead. They've creatively figured out a baseline for non-votes that is to their advantage in comparing against Dade and Palm Beach counties.

He' claiming the undervotes in counties in Florida that use optical counting should be the baseline, because it's most accurate. Only .8% of undervotes, according to him. Well, all along they've been saying that the counties with optical counting are more well-off and that's why they've got that equipment. Could it be factors other than the equipment, Mr. Boies? Could he be comparing apples with oranges? Also, since about 1.2% of all votes nationwide were undervotes, does that mean there are .4% or FOUR MILLION UNCOUNTED BALLOTS NATIONWIDE? That's what he seems to suggest, if his select microcosm is used as the baseline.

How can Gore claim he won the national popular vote if, using Gore's lawyer's own statistics, THERE ARE FOUR MILLION UNCOUNTED BALLOTS NATIONWIDE? It's just like counting only the Democrat precincts in Dade and Palm Beach, which is what he wants to do. Boies is a slimy snake. I'm more confident now than ever that the MSFT decision will be overturned. Boies is such a fact-distorter that he probably had Jackson seeing God in the mirror every morning.
