Prominent
Statisticians Refute 'Explanation' of 2004 U.S. Exit Poll Discrepancies
in New Edison/Mitofsky Report and Urge Investigation of U.S.
Presidential Election Results.
“There
are statistical indications that a systematic, nationwide shift of 5.5%
of the vote may have occurred, and that we'll never get to the bottom
of this, unless we gather the data we need for mathematical analysis
and open, robust scientific debate.”, says Bruce O'Dell,
USCountVotes' Vice President.
The
study, “Response to Edison/Mitofsky Election System 2004 Report”, was
co-authored by a diverse group of professors and academicians
specializing in statistics and mathematics [from] Temple University,
University of Pennsylvania, University of
Wisconsin, University of Utah, University of Notre Dame,
University of Nottingham (UK), Cornell University; Case
Western Reserve University, Southern
Methodist University.
Their
study does not support claims made by Edison Media Research and
Mitofsky International that exit poll errors were to blame for the
unprecedented 5.5% discrepancy between exit polls and official 2004
election results.
