DOWNLOAD EBOOKAfter the Florida election results were tallied, and the country and Presidential election were thrown into turmoil because of the closeness of the election returns and the inability of the Florida election to determine an absolute Presidential winner between Albert Gore and George W. Bush, this situation spawned a Pandora's box of self-proclaimed Presidential analysts. The common thread among all of these pundits was the fact that no person could give an objective analysis of the election. Virtually no one could analyze the election results without including his or her partisan leanings. Five Weeks comments on this phenomenon and analyzes the rights of each Presidential candidate to use the court system to gain the election advantage. Five Weeks then gives a novel and completely astounding examination of the strategy that Albert Gore chose to use to overturn the election and why he had nobody to blame but himself for the outcome that occurred, the Supreme Court ultimately stopping all of the recounts, effectively giving the election to George W. Bush.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBehind the deeply contentious 2020 election stands a real story of a broken election process. Election fraud that alters election outcomes and dilutes legitimate votes occurs all too often, as is the bungling of election bureaucrats. Our election process is full of vulnerabilities that can be — and are — taken advantage of, raising questions about, and damaging public confidence in, the legitimacy of the outcome of elections. This book explores the reality of the fraud and bureaucratic errors and mistakes that should concern all Americans and offers recommendations and solutions to fix those problems.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKElections are random events. From individuals deciding whether to vote, to people deciding for whom to vote, to election authorities deciding what to count, the outcomes of competitive democratic elections are rarely known until election day...or beyond. Understanding Elections through Statistics: Polling, Prediction, and Testing explores this random phenomenon from two points of view: predicting the election outcome using opinion polls and testing the election outcome using government-reported data. Written for those with only a brief introduction to statistics, this book takes you on a statistical journey from how polls are taken to how they can—and should—be used to estimate current popular opinion. Once an understanding of the election process is built, we turn toward testing elections for evidence of unfairness. While holding elections has become the de facto proof of government legitimacy, those electoral processes may hide a dirty little secret of the government illicitly ensuring a favorable election outcome. This book includes these features designed to make your statistical journey more enjoyable: Vignettes of elections, including maps, to provide concrete bases for the material In-chapter cues to help one avoid the heavy math—or to focus on it End-of-chapter problems designed to review and extend that which was covered in the chapter Many opportunities to turn the power of the R statistical environment to the enclosed election data files, as well as to those you find interesting From these features, it is clear the audience for this book is quite diverse. This text provides mathematics for those interested in mathematics, but also offers detours for those who just want a good read and a deeper understanding of elections. Author Ole J. Forsberg holds PhDs in both political science and statistics. He currently teaches mathematics and statistics in the Department of Mathematics at Knox College in Galesburg, IL.
