2008 ELECTION MODEL

Monte Carlo Electoral Vote Simulation

TruthIsAll

Obama has pulled ahead in Florida in the latest Quinnipiac poll and increased his PA lead.
As a result, his expected electoral vote increased from 324 yesterday to 350 today.
His 2-party projected vote share has also jumped: from 52.3% to 52.8%.

If the election were held today, Obama would win the electoral vote by 350188.
The State model projects that he would win 52.8% of the 2-party vote.
The National model projects indicates that he would win 52.9%.

Obama leads the latest state poll aggregate average by 46.2 – 42.7%.
He also leads the latest national poll aggregate by 46.8 – 43.0%.

The electoral vote is the average of a 5000 election trial Monte Carlo simulation.
Obama won all 5000 trials; therefore, there is a virtual 100% probability of winning the electoral vote.
...
The latest polls indicate that these states will flip to Obama: CO, IA, MO, NM, OH, VA, NC, NV, FL (new)
...

2. If the people allow their paper ballots to leave their neighborhood/
polling place before the ballots are audited and/or hand counted by the people in the neighborhood the people will get what they deserve.

There is absolutely no reason that the paper ballots have to leave the neighborhood before they are audited/hand count.

NO REASON WHAT-SO-EVER!

3. Florida elections were rigged for the last decade; I see no difference today..
caging, absentee ballots manufactured and lost, access to polls, registration lists, hacked DRE's, undervotes, butterfly ballots, hanging chads, crooked election supervisors, poll worker challenges, riots at election offices, crooked judges/courts, no meaningful investigations, manipulated primary dates...on and on

Obama better realize that a grass roots campaign, rallies, polls, and predictions are MEANINGLESS if there is no fair election. Only a few key states are needed to swing the electoral college while only a relatively few per cent of votes need to be altered in those key states.

Kerry and Gore "won". Neither occupied the White House.
