| Not only are you using figures that no one else appears to acknowledge, but you base your fallacious arguments on incorrect assumptions. For one, you incorrectly assume that all people intended to vote for President, and that somehow each ballot must be salvaged for one candidate or another. A "non-vote", as opposed to an "undervote" is something that you Demolibs can't stomach, unless it can be turned into a vote for your guy, or extrapolated en masse into more votes proportionately for your guy. Once you start creatively manufacturing "votes" from "nonvotes" is where the problem begins. It opens the door to interpretation and political bias. Since most of the canvassing boards are controlled by Democrats, at least in those that were selectively challenged in Florida (I wonder why, duhhh), the results will be politically skewed. Your Demolib leap of logic also assume that the reason or reasons for this so-called "undervote" that must be salvaged can be extrapolated. It can't, because the underlying premise is false. But you can start with a very small error that way and extrapolate it into a miss by a mile. Garbage in, garbage out. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Get my drift? No, I wouldn't expect so. |
