"Florida numbers vs 2000 - something is wrong by BuckMulligan Wed Nov 3rd, 2004 at 02:22:13 PST
2000 2004 Bush 2,912,790 Bush 3,836,216 Gore 2,912,253 Kerry 3,459,293 Nader 97,421 Nader 32,035 Other 40,193 Other 28,382 = 7,355,296 (2004) - 5,963,657 (2000) = 1,392,639 new voters (99% precincts counted, no provisionals or absentees).
So, we have 1.39 million new voters, and Kerry loses by 376,923 votes? Thus, he lost an overwhelming majoirty of them, or he lost an overwhelming majority of regular voters - much, much more than Gore lost.
We have 77,197 fewer third party votes, but Kerry loses the vast majority of these?
Exit polling numbers show that Kerry had more Hispanic and Cuban support than Gore did, and Kerry lost?
Most exit polls in Florida showed Kerry leading, yet he loses by a massive 5%? "
