They researchers went into this looking for this result. I could see the Bradley effect affecting the surveys, especially among those who support abortion, but not gay marriage. And they don't say how the results were adjusted for gender, age, race etc, just that they were. <br /><br />The Black vote which tends toward liberal ideals, came out in favor of traditional marriage.j4khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00693280094971664961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100747061833336603.post-18603860760219109642010-01-05T09:31:11.446-08:002010-01-05T09:31:11.446-08:00I just read the entire report (well, skimmed a few...I just read the entire report (well, skimmed a few sections, but read most of it). It's very interesting, and (re: J G-W's remarks) the authors appear to have done a quite thorough job of accounting for any potential anomalies in voter turnout.<br /><br />I'm also interested to know whether anyone in a position to do anything would be inclined to take this seriously, and what steps would be taken if it was determined that the official results were indeed fraudulent?Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15332275934258698026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100747061833336603.post-57998408174232360652010-01-05T07:44:39.972-08:002010-01-05T07:44:39.972-08:00Just curious...

The 2008 election was an unusual election, to say the least.<br /><br />Since the results of the polling were "adjusted to match the gender, age, race, and party affiliation of the electorate," the polling results would be skewed if the voter turnout was significantly different in its gender, age, race and/or party affiliation make-up, in comparison with the general electorate. If ever there were an election night when that might have been the case, it would have been the 2008 election.<br /><br />These kinds of polling results always become more skewed when voter turnout is heavier than usual.<br /><br />As much as I'd like to believe that a majority of voters in California on Nov. 4, 2008 wanted to preserve same-sex marriage, I'm not sure this is definitive proof that they did...John Gustav-Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03557940681381951271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100747061833336603.post-50793215897576313702010-01-05T00:26:45.258-08:002010-01-05T00:26:45.258-08:00Very interesting...
