1. Compelling...
These graphs show me two things.

1-The fraud was concentrated in the South West states.

2-There was consistent sampling bias in several of the east states.

Fraud seems to be very conspicuous in high-kerry areas, while dropping off in high-bush areas to show polling bias. Clearly the high-kerry areas in pro bush states are the most applicable. Ohio-Cuyahoga, Florida-Palm Beach, Texas-Los Alamos etc..

2. There is nothing in the graphs relative to regions.
These are from the Exit Poll Response Optimizer.
The 5 groupings are the partisanship breakdowns.

Don't read it like a geography map.

Groups I-II are High Bush precincts (aggregated).
Groups III is non-partisan.
Groups IV-V are High Kerry.

Max).							
2-Kerry percentages constrained to the range (Min, Max)							
3-Alpha (K/B response ratio) constrained to weighted average.
							
4-WPE set to E-M actuals (default) or user input. 							
							
TARGET INPUT							
Kerry 2-party vote		48.77%					
Bush 2-party vote		51.23%
