Has anyone shown a correlation yet between the Red Shift, and/or actual Bush state victories, comparing e-voting states without voter-verified paper trails (VVPTs) to states that have either paper ballots or VVPTs?
Since there isn't much of a correlation between the Red Shift and machine types, it might be more significant to infer fraud in the states where the actual vote can never be verified (unless you think the perpetrators would hack unverifiable states and verifiable states equally).
If this has already been done and I've missed it, please post a link.
One other point is that the VVPT alone doesn't make the vote verifiable. Laws requiring random audits also have to be on the books, otherwise, the paper trails mean nothing unless the election is close enough for an automatic recount. A perpetrator of fraud might take the chance of hacking a state with a VVPT if the hack puts Bush's victory margin outside that required for an automatic recount. So if there is a correlation, it might have to be done by taking the states' election audit laws into account as well.
