Jefferson's County listing allows to look at votes per machine. Guess what: 18 machines have... 1 vote! So we get to look at 18 single ballots! Fabulous!
-> 14 ballots followed the rule: presidential vote matches delegate race votes
-> 2 Romney voters violated the rules with 1 delegate race overvote, by voting once for Gingrich 1st delegate and once for Santorum 1st delegate
-> 2 Santorum voters violated the rules with massive overvote:
2 out of 18 near-vote-for-all: quite high...
Below are not ballots anymore, but addition of ballots. Simple logic allows to identify rule violations and to speculate on what went wrong. Have a go: it's kind of fun:
From all the machines where I would argue that you can identify a vote-for-all pattern in all likelihood, I derive a voting error rate of 7% (i.e. 12/165). In Jefferson County, Paul scored 4% in the presidential race and more like 10% in the delegate races.
parocks, feel good
The Man, if I may be so bold as to ask you 2 things that I would love to squeeze out of your Jefferson election official contact:
(1) the answer to the following question: was the enforcement of the delegate overvoting rule any different in 2008, through software or poll worker checks?
(2) the Jefferson EVM listing for 2008. I love pdf conversion so much
