No, he didn't.
The (totally irrelevant) "popular vote" had a margin of error greater than the difference in numbers. In other words, the most you can say about the (totally irrelevant) "popular vote" is that "out of those ballots that were actually counted [and many were not], it was a tie." Jeeze, this is what, the third time in two months this has been thoroughly explained and then discussed? Steve Swartz (OBTW, just because the "popular media" continues to repeat the lie of "Gore won the [totally irrelevant] popular vote" doesn't make it any less a lie. It just means that those in the popular media are stupid. But we know that already.) "Leadfoot" wrote in message news:nXN1d.298098$Oi.247686@fed1read04... "Ragnar" wrote in message ...

They just aren't smart enough as Bush so eloquently demonstrates. So, if Bush is so stupid, why is he President and you're just a bitter old man?

Jack:
I suspect that you are the same guy who kept ignoring all the explanations before, and kept posting and reposting that table. If so, then the following is a waste of bandwidth; if not, you might find the following addition (your omission) illuminating: Mechanical Tally Error: Bush: 47.87 +/- 3.23 % (95% two-tailed confidence interval) Go 48.38 +- 3.23 % (95% two tailed confidence interval) Ballot Undercount Error, 2% - 7% local 3% estimated average (absentee etc. ballots "not counted because they have no material effect on outcome") So conservatively, the 0.51% difference between the two vote count totals represents about a standard deviation's worth of difference. So in other words, we are 80% confident that the true vote count could have gone either way; and only 20% confident that Gore's total was actually higher than Bush's. Not counting, of course, fraud and/or uncounted ballots. This is just the mechanical error of the vote counting machines. Steve "Jack G" wrote in message news:h302d.8184$5t4.4608@trnddc01...

Just FYI, Art: they were still using that "one a day in Tampa Bay" line in 1969 at MacDill - except the planes were by then F-4Es of a Replacement Training Unit for the Vietnam war. There was nothing defective about the aircraft or the maintenance, either; it was the inexperienced drivers that put 'em there. Is that from the 1,000 houirs you flew the B-26? No, but it was from the more than 30,000 hours I eventually amassed working on those F-4s. How many hours do you have maintaining the B-26? If the answer is "none", then you're totally unqualified to comment on the subject. John T. - 1st, 4th, 15th, 36th, 50th, 56th, 86th, and 388th TFWs.

I have no visibility of other posts that included the table I originally
posted - so yes I did ignore what I can not see. The numbers that count are the official vote counts. The statistical analysis is an interesting study - but does not change the official count.
