Here are Krugman's corrections for all to see: Corrections: In my column last Friday, I cited an inaccurate number (given by the Conyers report) for turnout in Ohio's Miami County last year: 98.5 percent. I should have checked the official state site, which reports a reasonable 72.2 percent. Also, the public editor says, rightly, that I should acknowledge initially misstating the results of the 2000 Florida election study by a media consortium led by The Miami Herald. Unlike a more definitive study by a larger consortium that included The New York Times, an analysis that showed Al Gore winning all statewide manual recounts, the earlier study showed him winning two out of three. 1) He made a simple error and corrected it. BFD. 2) He only quoted the larger, more definitive study that showed Gore won FLorida in 2000. The Times felt he should also mention the earlier study that showed Gore only won 2 out of 3 recounts. BFD. If that makes you feel good ... ROFLOL.
