"ELECTION 2004

Voter fraud case traced to Defiance County registrations volunteer
124 registrations falsified, allegedly for crack cocaine..

Mary Poppins. Jeffrey Dahmer. Janet Jackson. Chad Staton.


Defiance County elections officials were confident the first three hadn't moved to their small community. But the fourth one lived there, and - in exchange for crack cocaine - tried to falsely submit the first three names and more than 100 others onto the county's voter registration rolls, police said.

Now Mr. Staton, 22, of Defiance, faces a felony charge of false registration in a case that has quickly gained national attention as part of a hotly contested presidential battle that's attracted a flurry of new voter registrations across the country - and a flurry of complaints of voter registration fraud.

Defiance County Sheriff David Westrick said that Mr. Staton was working on behalf of a Toledo woman, Georgianne Pitts, to register new voters. She, in turn, was working on behalf of the NAACP National Voter Fund, which was formed by the NAACP in 2000 to register new voters.

Sheriff Westrick said that Pitts, 41, of Toledo, admitted she gave Mr. Staton crack cocaine in lieu of cash for supplying her with completed voter registration forms. The sheriff declined to say how much crack cocaine Pitts supplied Mr. Staton, or to say whether Pitts knew that the forms Mr. Staton gave her were falsified."

I dont know how much I trust this report. Yesterday, it said that Kerry had 49 and bush had 43% in ohio. Now today bush had 47%, and kerry has 42%. I think the only thing we know for sure, is that nobody knows for sure who is in the lead. November 2nd we will (hopefully) know for sure, until then, its anybodys game.

Well, lets see how much of stats i remember.
1) the fact that its done on the internet invalidates it. Voluntary response bias causes a non representative sample. Its most likely that only those with strong opinions or those who are strongly motivated filled out the survey.
2)A convenience sample was most likely used, again non representative.
3)Bad sampling frame=invalid results
4)undercoverage, a portion of the population was not sampled.
5)nonresponse bias, the missing observations may bias the results.

If you read the notes at the bottom of the page and on the welcome page it discusses how and why the numbers vary from day to day, as it is a collection of all the polls done in each state, with some weight given to the latest poll, I think. It alsonotes the problems with various polls used, the lack of landlines among younger people means that they are not contacted by phone polls, for example, which skews the Gallup poll.

Focus on the write up, good info there, updated daily.
