Default Re: Karl Rove Steals Elections

I'm irritated. Palast makes a huge statistical error about 4:30 in.

He first says taht the statistics demonstrate that if you are a black voter, your vote is 900% more likely to be miscounted than if you are white. Fine, I don't doubt it.

Then he goes on to mention the New Mexico results in 2004 - that Bush won by 5,900 votes with 30,000 miscounted. He then goes on to say that 88% of the miscounted votes, based on the 900% statistic, came from black voters.

Seriously.

[censored] horrible.

Watching the rest of it now.
