(33,982 posts)I realize it is not your flag/hill to defend, but it sheds light on the credibility of *his* claims.
"How do the flag wavers and and phone bankers know when to stop waving and banking in order to ensure that the total vote counts line up this way."
They don't. The magical 10% is a pattern illusion. This is Mitt's first run. When the rubber met the road, Mitt lost. Funny, eh? Yet, the more credible/accurate surveys and exit polls didn't show Obama ahead by an additional 10% beyond the vote tabulation. Strange, yes?
"I mean, how did they stop the wavers and bankers from waving and banking too hard in the smaller precincts?"
Very simply, by not extending resources to smaller precincts. When people have to fight and claw and pay out of pocket with no campaign support whatsoever, they tend to be less effective. They didn't have to be 'stopped' because they didn't really exist in the first place.
Romney's campaign was a monumental failure in this department. I have co-workers still waiting on delivery of their hats, signs, bumper stickers etc. (And boy are they pissed!)
"I hope you can follow this, because it is the heart of the issue. How could they have possibly accomplished that, because that is what actually happened. Did God help them to create this miracle? Because, in my current understanding of the universe, any other explanation is impossible."
Nate Silver, and Intrade, two very different statistical analysis tools, one proprietary analytics, one a market, accurately predicted the outcome of the election by cutting through the noise and getting to the meat underneath. How is this possible with a 10% vote flip going on, or expected to be going on, even if it was foiled? Intrade is the sort of mechanism that reveals insider trading, because who wouldn't try to make a buck off it if they knew the fix was in? Right?
We're chasing smoke and mirrors here. There are reasons to adjust how we do procurement for the tabulation and voting machines, and who they are purchased from, etc. Was Rove's evil insider plot foiled by Anon? No facts in evidence at the moment. Just a claim.
That which can be asserted without evidence can be fairly dismissed without evidence.
