18. Remember they were trying to show Dixiecrats alive and well
So of course they would pick precincts with high democratic registration which would also show higher Kerry outcomes.

I thought it interesting Kerry picked up 42 votes in the 2.6 counties but the NH recount showed a more statistically fair mix of Bush and Kerry getting extra votes in the recount. That blew my theory that Bush was padding with a few votes in every precinct to get his man date. Maybe it was only in select states but then why was NH 11% off exit polls?

It would be interesting to do recounts in other precincts in FL to see if the padding was done in FL (but not NH).
