Still Crunching The Numbers...

The Squanderer looks at 'Optical Scan' Voters:

Approx. 3.42 million total voters in these counties

Kerry's Base: about 1.43 million votes*

Bush's Base: about 1.34 million votes*

Kerry's final tally: about 1.45 million votes

Less than 1% more than his given base

Bush's final tally: about 1.95 million votes

45.8% more than his given base

Conclusion: Virtually every unaffilated voter would have had to have gone for Bush! What are the odds??
