I took a look at those numbers and I should be able to duplicate all of them from my distributions. If I can't, then either my mathematics is wrong or we're not seeing the same raw data.Sir Rhino, we already did this without graphs the night of the election. Have you seen that link that shows the differential between hand and diebold for all the candidates? I've lost track of it at the moment. It shows the quantitative effect of diebold for each candidate.
It showed that every candidate lost votes under diebold except for Romney, Guiliani (which bumped him above Paul), and Clinton (which bumped her above Obama). Those three gained votes under diebold.
If you haven't seen that work, you need to see it.
Guiliani isn't showing up on your graph because it was such a small effect, but it was enough to bump him above Paul since Paul also lost about 2.2% under diebold.
Guiliani and Paul look the same as Clinton and Obama. Clinton got a big positive effect from diebold and Obama got a big negative effect, and the result was Clinton won the election.
You have to look at it as a whole, both parties, all major candidates.
What is most signifigant in my mind is that there is a "diebold effect" for every candidate. And the diebold effect determines the outcome of the election for Clinton, Obama, Guiliani, and Paul. It changes their order in the pack.
.
I'm not saying we've disagreements here, only that I should check to see if we do.

**************
It seems to me that graphs like the ones we get with Clinton vs Obama and Ron Paul vs Guiliani may indicate an election which was overturned by the diebold effect. It would be wise to check out all the other possible candidate combinations to see if that pattern reemerges somewhere.
It would make sense for there to be a noticeable difference in the overturned election graphs, since probably the theft occurs by taking all the votes from one candidate and giving them all to another ... more bang for the buck ... Ron Paul and Guiliani are dead even and a vote is stolen from RP and given to G. Ron Paul is now two votes behind.
So in doing it with the fewest number of stolen votes, they may have left their 'fingerprints' on the results.
