The Kerry to Bush 6.15% vote-switch differential is seen when the large sample is sorted by probability a Kerry wrong-precinct vote counts for Bush. When the same large voter sample is sorted by the probability Kerry votes count for third-party candidates, Kerry votes are instead equal in both subsets.

Defining the vote outcome probabilities of wrong-precinct
voting has revealed, in a sample of 166,953 votes (1 of
every 34 Ohio voters), the Kerry-Bush margin changes 6.15%
when the population is sorted by probable outcomes of
wrong-precinct voting.

The Kerry to Bush 6.15% vote-switch differential is seen
when the large sample is sorted by probability a Kerry
wrong-precinct vote counts for Bush. When the same large
voter sample is sorted by the probability Kerry votes count
for third-party candidates, Kerry votes are instead equal
in both subsets.

It has nothing to do with the speed of communication in the early days of the Republic, and everything to do with an intelligent mistrust of "democracy" and the fact that the Republic was <i>originally</i> a federation of independent states. (The Republicans put an end to <i>that</i> idea over 140 years ago.) I fail to see how eliminating the Electoral College would stop election frauds like this one. It wasn't the count in the College that was in dispute. It doesn't really matter whether people were voting for a single individual or a slate of people - the so-called "election officials" committed deliberate fraud in recounting those votes.

The electoral college is no longer necessary. we needed it during a time when pony express was our fastest form of communication. it would have taken a year to get all count information out, that would have been chaos, but now we can show the progress nationally in real time, which makes the electoral college obsolete, and if you count the actual votes and not the electoral college didn't bush lose? their only useful purpose I can see is that it's a heck of a lot easier to pay off, blackmail or otherwise bribe 286 experienced politicians who have no actual obligation to vote the way their state is voting, than it is millions of real people living in the real world who need real support from their government. this story hasn’t made any major news source yet, I wonder if it will, or if they’ll bury it.
