Bush supporters trying to get Wikipedia to delete vote fraud page

After the 2004 U.S. presidential election there were allegations of data irregularities and systematic flaws which may have affected the outcome of the presidential and local elections. Issues range from allegations of voting machine impropriety to complaints voting was not made accessible to all citizens (long lines, disenfranchisement). The unofficial result of the election has been publically accepted by John Kerry in favor of George W. Bush. However, some groups and individuals (including the media, independent candidate Ralph Nader, electronic voting machine criticism organization BlackBoxVoting.ORG (http://www.blackboxvoting.org), Kerry's brother and legal advisor Cameron Kerry, members of the House Judiciary Committee and citizen blogers) are currently offering their data analysis and investigating.

Who are these Bush supporters.

Yes, the US of A. Land of opression, double standards, and grandiose hypocracy.

Well, there is a wealth of information about that if you click the link on go the talkback link under the article...

Excellend deduction.

Exit polling data in these areas show significantly higher support for Kerry than actual results (potentially outside the margin of error). From a statistical perspective, this may be indicative of vote rigging, because the likelihood of this happening by chance is extremely low. A study of 16 states by a former MIT mathematics professor places the likelihood at 1 in 50,000.
This may also be indicative of exit poll rigging, but you would never read that here, oh wait, here we go with a big fat disclaimer:
(2) Dick Morris, a career pollster (Republican), states in the Hill News that the Election Night pattern of exit polls versus popular vote in six battleground states - Florida, Ohio, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada and Iowa - was "virtually inconceivable":

"Exit polls are almost never wrong ... So reliable are the surveys that actually tap voters as they leave the polling places that they are used as guides to the relative honesty of elections in Third World countries. … To screw up one exit poll is unheard of. To miss six of them is incredible."


(Speculative material alert: The article goes on to state that these differences demonstrate that the differences were due to "more than honest error". However it then proceeds directly to assumptive hypothesis as follows: "...To miss six of them is incredible. It boggles the imagination how pollsters could be that incompetent." Readers should note that this further hypothesis of pollster error is not in fact supported by a quoted source, nor is any explanation given to justify it, and for Wikipedia purposes is presently an unverified statement. The article has not in fact made any attempt to analyse or justify this assumption as to where the errors lay, but presumes the machine votes were correct and therefore the exit polls necessarily "bogus". However this does not cast doubt over the statement as to general accuracy of exit polls per se, which agrees with information from other sources)

Rather than deducing that because exit polls are always right and in this case they were wrong, therefore causing one to suspect exit poll fraud, there was only the presumption of voter fraud. :rolleyes:
