Because when your candidate loses, you'll know it's democracy in action.  And because women have had the right to vote for less than 100 years.

OR..... you'll know they "lost" some ballots and/or memory cards and your candidate lost!

Well, statistically, if that many voted, then the majority in here are happy with the outcome of the elections.

Really? Ever hear of polling? What the fuck concept do you think they run off of? Unless you are saying that the people in here are not the average make up of the people in the country!

You've got about 7 people who voted.  You're saying the majority of people who voted, voted democratically, therefore the majority of people who voted from TOP must have voted democratically.   


You're not running a poll!  You're asking who voted, not HOW they voted.

Good fucking night,,,,,,,,,,,, let me connect the dots....


Statistically, if 10 people in here voted, the ratio of votes would = or be close to the votes counted nation wide. The difference between polling and this, is the results are "in" so they can be plugged back into the formula. SO, if 7 out of 10 people voted one way nation wide, then “STATISICALLY”, 7 out of the 10 that voted in here voted the same way.  Geeez.


I'm glad my label machine is broke right now. I would have a present for you. :)

My point is, he's making all sorts of assumptions that can't be born out by the facts.

Okay, then, E-con must be correct.  Because he's E-con.  And an old Geezer.

Ugh. Ok, sorry.


Let me ask you this. If 90% of the people voted no, (which by the way means that the other 10% is assumed to have voted yes),,,, then if you call 10 people at random and ask them how they voted, (assuming they don't lie to you), would you agree that there is a better then good chance that 9 out of those 10 are going to say they voted NO?


Assuming you understand the concept of Statistics, then your answer should of been yes. SO,


If 10 people in here voted and they are from all over the country, then would it not be safe to say that 9 out of 10 probably voted no too?  I'm serious I want to know. This,,, "problem" is a bit alarming….

I do understand statistics - your sample is too small.

UGH. Statistically, in order to make a scientific conclusion of a variable that only has 2 options, data can be used with test results with as little as 4 subjects. But that brings up that whole pesky scientific magic shit...... ugh.

Though I will say, the more numbers to work with, the better. :)

Yes, problem. With regard to the statistics problem, not the voting outcome. (if that is what you are poking at?)

That's all I wanted to hear.  In an ideal, un-chaotic universe, yes asking 4 people would work.
