• 2720 Statistical Analysis of the Vote in Palm Beach, Florida 11/9/00 .
•   Without the benefit of being able to examine the ballots themselves, we must resort to looking at only the reported vote totals. ... - Palm Beach is overwhelmingly a district of Democrats – over 60% supported Gore, but Buchanan had a very high vote total there. ... This line of argument is strong if it can be shown that the relationship between Buchanan's vote share and the level of conservatism in a county is very strong.   In fact, it is true that the relationship between Bush’s vote share and Buchanan’s vote share in each county tended to be positive. ... Is it fair to assume that conservative districts disproportionately supported both Bush and Buchanan? In fact, a model explaining Buchanan’s vote share in different Florida counties by looking at Bush’s vote share explains very little overall variance. ...   Here I have constructed a simple model that explains Buchanan's vote share using Bush's vote share (as a proxy for the level of conservative support in each county), Perot’s support (percent of ’96 vote) and poverty levels (percentages, 1996). Specifically, I use a simple least-squares regression procedure to generate predicted vote totals by county. ...

• BUCHANAN VOTE SHARE = -. ...
• The graph below translates the predicted and actual vote percentages into predicted and actual vote totals. ...   However, the model's predictions for other counties were within a few percentage points of the actual vote share, but its prediction for Palm Beach County is wildly inaccurate. ...
•   This data will help substantiate whether the ballot is to blame for Buchanan's high vote totals. ...
•   A more complete analysis might cover greater territory, but not all Florida counties posted precinct-level data immediately following the vote count. ...   Second, the Florida panhandle is traditionally and demographically very distinct from the southern portion of the state (see Chris Volinsky's map of the Buchanan vote by county), so it's actually quite sensible to consider south Florida apart from the north. ...
•   Of 459 precincts, 348 -- more than 75 percent -- reported Buchanan's vote share to be higher than 0. ... In every other south Florida county, Buchanan's most frequent vote share was less than two tenths of one percent. ...   Yet, in Palm Beach County, Buchanan's vote share exceeded this figure in more than 100 precincts. ...

• VOTE FRAUD AND THE BANKRUPTCY OF THE UNITED STATES.
• Certainly the young people of today, not yet old enough to vote, have had no choice regarding the continuing payment of interest charges for a debt not of their making. ... No valid argument exists as to why children not yet old enough to vote are obliged to pay the debts of reckless government officials who held office before these children were born. ...
• Virtually every argument coming from those who would convince us to go on parting with our hard-earned money to pay this massive and impossible debt amounts to a claim that we always have the choice to vote for politicians who will somehow change things, and that the election of a particular candidate amounts to approval of his or her policies. ...
• Kennedy was assasinated, vote tabulation for national elections has been handled not by the government, but by a private company lacking any official oversight at all. ...
• In 1988, when voting machines in Illinois were tested with tens of thousands of ballots instead of the few dozen normally used for the accuracy test, over 1/4 of the machines which had passed the standard accuracy test were found to have mistabulated the larger test vote results! .
• While researching the book, "VOTESCAM", the Collier brothers actually managed to videotape members of the League of Women voters forging ballots, and found hard evidence that Shouptronics and Printomatic vote machines were rigged in the Dade County Elections. ... 60 Minutes taped a segment on the Dade County Vote Fraud, but never aired it. ...
• Mandatory voter registration laws, such as "Motor voter" have been a boon to election fraud, generating registered voters who don't vote and whose names may be used to obtain absentee ballots. In the California election that unseated Bob Dornan following his efforts to investigate the Clinton White House, canvassers discovered that nearly half of the names registered to vote in the GOP election from 7 precincts simply did not exist. ...
• The evidence for massive vote fraud in the United States uncovered by the Voting Integrity Project and organizations like it are ignored by the government, which has obviously been the beneficiary of such chicanery, and by the media, which is complicit in the fraud. When vote fraud was suspected in the 1996 Arizona Primary (the one that ended Pat Buchanon's winning streak after New Hampshire), the Arizona legislature passed a special law forbidding a recount for that one primary election only! When the Miami Magazine ran a story on the Dade County Vote Fraud, the magazine was purchased just one month later by the editor of the Miami News, Sylvan Meyer, who ordered that no further stories on vote fraud be published. ...
• The vote totals were then phoned directly into Voters News Service by the county chairman, again in full view of all participants that night. ... By next morning, Voters News Service had dropped Buchanon's vote total for that county down to 757 votes, a 13% drop. ...
• Needless to say, the question of whether Buchanon had had 13% of his votes shaved off in other Iowa counties, ones in which computerized vote machines meant there was no audit trail to check, was ignored. The fact that an obviously fraudulent vote had made it all the way through the system to be reported on national television was also ignored by the media. (Iowa is the state, it should be noted, where a columnist for Salon magazine was charged with vote fraud. ...

Then there were the recorded get-out-the-vote phone calls from Rah Digga, the prestigious awards bestowed on statesmen like Destiny's Child and Queen Latifah, the Internet form letters members can sign, like the anti-political-intimidation missive that reads, "Dear President Bush, I want you to call off the dogs and stand up for free expression. " And how could we omit the new Dixie Chicks-sponsored "Chicks Rock, Chicks Vote!" voter registration campaign, highlighting a new online tool under the tagline, "Print it and sign it, lick it and mail it. " (While political sages have no idea how to turn out the elusive 18-to-24-year-old vote, market research shows that young people do like to lick things. ...
• The very term "youth vote," of course, is a self-canceling proposition.

• After the two-stage international logo vote this logo won with considerable support -- see International logo vote/Results. ...
• This "silver ball" was created after the International logo vote/Ratification as an improvement of the Paullusmangus logo. The English Wikipedia switched to this on Oct 12 after it achieved an appearent consensus of 21 prefering it to the PM logo and only 3 not prefering it (vote page on Oct 12). However by Oct 17 the vote had changed to 23 prefering it and 12 thinking it worse (vote page on Oct 17). Arguably, the result is still somewhat biased -- the people who were strongly opposed to the winning logo were highly involved in the final optimization process, while the people who were strongly opposed to the new variant quickly headed to Meta to vote it down as soon as it went public. ... There are some naysayers who continue to call for another vote, while there are many who have expressed a desire for finalizing the decision ASAP. ...
• The comment page quickly formalized in a "Better than original logo / About the same / Worse" poll, which had the problems that it was hard to vote for the original logo (until Oct 15 there was no voting section for the original logo), and it was not announced on the English main page or announcements page that this was a logo vote until after the English wikipedia switched. ...

• In many western democracies, particularly ones that use the Westminster system, the elected members of a legislative body are generally required to vote in single party blocs. ...

• For example, suppose the quantity of interest is the proportion of voters who will vote "yes" in a referendum. A random sample of the population of voters is taken, and it is found that 60% of voters in the sample will vote "yes". Then the estimated proportion of the whole population who will vote "yes" may be taken to be 60%. ... Consequently the interval from 57% to 63% is a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of voters in the whole population who will vote "yes". ...
• Let p be the proportion of voters in the whole population who will vote "yes". Then the number X of voters in the sample who will vote "yes" is a random variable with a binomial distribution with parameters n and p. ...

• (Redirected from Vote of no confidence) .
• The motion is passed or rejected by means of a parliamentary vote. ...
• Typically, when parliament votes No Confidence, or where it fails to vote confidence, a government must either .
• For example, in Germany, a vote of No Confidence requires that the opposition propose a candidate who is appointed Chancellor by the Federal President. Unlike the British system, the Chancellor does not resign in response to passage of a vote of No Confidence but rather is dismissed by the Federal President (see Constructive Vote of No Confidence). ...
• Sometimes Motions of No Confidence are proposed, even though they have no likelihood of passage, simply to pressure a government or to embarrass its own critics who nevertheless for political reasons dare not vote against it. In many parliamentary democracies, strict time limits exist as to the proposing of a No Confidence motion, with a vote only allowed once every three, four or six months. ...
• In almost all cases, party discipline is sufficient to allow a majority party to defeat a Motion of No Confidence, and if faced with likely defections in the government party, the government is likely to change its policies rather than lose a vote of No Confidence. ...
• Post-War Germany has prevented the passage of multiple Motions of No Confidence by using electoral rules which discourage small parties and by having a constitutional provision known as a Constructive Vote of No Confidence in which a Motion of No Confidence does not dissolve a government unless the proposers of the motion have named an alternative prime minister. ...

• Single Transferable Vote.
• The Single Transferable Vote or STV is a voting system designed to accurately achieve proportional representation in multi-candidate elections. When applied in a proportional representation setting in multi-candidate elections, it is generally known as Proportional Representation through the Single Transferable Vote or PR-STV. When similar methods are applied to single-candidate elections they are sometimes called instant-runoff voting or the alternative vote and have different implications for a similar ballot. ...
• Single transferable vote is used, among other places, for all elections in the Republic of Ireland 1 and Malta 2 , to elect the Australian senate 3 and the City Council in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The government of Tasmania calls the single transferable vote the "Hare system" or the "Hare-Clark system" after Thomas Hare, an English solicitor who developed the system, and Andrew Inglis Clark, a Tasmanian Attorney-General who introduced STV into State law. ...
• A vote is wasted if it does not elect anyone; it is partially wasted if it elects someone who gets more votes than is necessary to be elected. ...
• For example, under the Droop quota in a three-seat district, one vote less than a quarter of the total number of votes may not directly contribute to the election of a representative. ...
• Similarly, the Northern Ireland elections in 1998 led to the Ulster Unionists winning more seats than the SDLP, despite winning a smaller share of the vote. ...
• The single transferable vote eliminates much of the reason for tactical voting. A voter is "safe" voting for a candidate they fear won't be elected, because their vote will be reallocate in Process B. They are "safe" voting for a candidate they believe will receive overwhelming support, because their vote will get reallocated in Process A. ...
• If the voter's true top-place candidate has not been elected by the time their fake top candidate loses, the voter's full vote will count for their true top-place candidate. ...
• A vote is wasted if it ends up on the last candidate to be eliminated. ...

• Straw Poll: Should there be another logo vote? .
• The question I want to ask here is: Should there be a new widely announced formal vote for the Wikipedia Logo similar to the m:International logo vote? (The straw poll that is happening right below is over a limited sample, unless it is a landslide (say 80%) the results should not be considered conclusive. ...
• Yes, there should be a new vote. ...
• Yes, we should never have "final" votes; although, I intend to vote to keep the logo -- Democracy must be allowed. ...
• The vote notification should be widely publicised, perhaps at the top of every page (like the donation statement) and enough time should be given for nominations and voting. ...

• Is this vote about reverting to the earlier logo, choosing from the winning logo variants or coming up with a brand new logo altogether ? Pls clarify. ...
• This vote would at least include both the nohat logo and the pallusmangus logo (see m:Logo history for what these logos are). Basically there was the m:International logo vote and m:International logo vote/Ratification that displayed and had people vote on the pallusmangus logo and then there was the m:Final logo variants discussion that was to create a logo that everyone could agree on. ...
• Less then 20% of the people in this poll think there should be a vote on the nohat logo. ... In this case I or somebody else will go forward with a vote on the logo. ... Otherwise, there is at least not a consensus on the decision so I will create a sample ballot page to show what would be voted on and request more feedback and possibly go forward with a vote. ...
• I'd like to see a vote to choose between the most popular of the options a month from now. ...
• The results are 5 for a new vote and 10 against. I am guessing that the main result of another vote would be to ratify the nohat logo to the satisfaction of those of us that like it less than the Pallusmangus logo. I disagree with mav about the vote being fair. When the decision was made on Oct 12 to switch the logo to the nohat logo the only way to vote for the Pallusmangus logo was to vote against every other logo (about 15 or so). ... I doubt I will try and get another vote. ... It was not as widely announced as the original logo contest, it was not made easy to vote to keep the PM logo and statements that the m:International logo vote was about voting on a concept are patently untrue (possibly the ratification was, but that was not made obvious and the concept voted on was implied, not stated). ...
