Mystery Pollster: The UCal Berkeley Report Mystery Pollster brings us a vetted report of something potentially enormous, statistical correlations between electronic voting machines and a higher percentage of people voting for Bush...

“Observer,” a commenter on my last post, made that point and also did a nice summary of the report's findings:

They are using multivariate linear regressions to explain voting patterns in Florida, and are finding a very statistically significant correlation between the presence of electronic voting and a higher percentage for Bush.

The paper has undergone some peer review prior to publication. It mentions two concerns that were raised about the methodology, and shows that when those concerns were addressed the findings did not change substantially.
