>> Dear Fellow American Patriots,
>>
>> The National Election Data Archive's paper analyzing the Ohio exit
>> poll data has been temporarily withdrawn due to an error in the
>> assumed definition of data given in the ESI report. In other
>> words, NEDA's Ron Baiman incorrectly assumed that ESI was giving
>> the maximum and minimum of "vote" counts in its table of exit poll
>> data, and ESI was actually giving the maximum and minimum of "exit
>> poll results" if all non-responders to the exit poll in its sample
>> had hypothetically completed the polls.
>>
>> A solid independent analysis of Ohio's exit poll studies still
>> must be done. Earlier the Election Science Institute's analysis
>> of its Ohio exit poll data has been mathematically proven to be
>> invalid.

>>
>> NEDA's analysis, using the corrected definition of "non-
>> responders" will be redone and reposted - but our volunteer
>> schedules do not permit us to do this soon.
>>
>> A copy of ESI's data can be found here. NEDA welcomes any
>> independent analysis of this Ohio exit poll data.
