9. That is not a valid assumption. If they want to pad, what difference
Edited on Sat Dec-11-04 12:45 PM by TruthIsAll
does it make if they pad from solid Red states or solid Blue states? The real issue is population size.
The idea is to pad the popular vote; the electoral vote is of no consequence. They need to pad in order to make it appear they really won big - and to switch the real Kerry 51-48 win to a 51-48 loss.
Take NY. Lots of votes. Heavy Dem state. If you can lower Kerry's percentage from 62% to 60%, that 2% shift makes a lot more difference in the popular vote than it would in MS, for example.
