New study: Kerry should have won electoral college and popular vote
Economist/statistician Ron Baiman of the University of Chicago (anyone care to question his credentials?) has produced the closest thing we now possess to a definitive study of the exit polls and the "actual" tallies. It's in pdf form -- sorry! But it is a must-read.

Thanks for the link, Joseph. I can't wait to read it!
Here's another dissection of a recent Wired News article:

When are the statisticians going to testify at the informal hearing Rep Conyers is holding? It seems to me some of these people are very reputable. Also Keith Olberman, Chris Matthews etc... should get some of the people on!
The study looks very good, although I do not have expertise in this area. You might need to emend the reference to the University of Chicago, however. I couldn't find any reference to Ron Baiman at the University of Chicago, but he apparently is Visiting Research Assistant Professor in the Center for Urban Economic Development at the University of Illinois at Chicago (an easy mix-up). His study stands or falls on its own merits, I would think, but, you asked if anyone wanted to "question his creditials." I'm not even doing that. I'm only questioning whether his academic affiliation is correct as posted.
I think you are not finding Baiman at the University of Chicago because he is at the University of Illinois AT Chicago, NOT at the University of Chicago - they are two distinctly different schools.
Bauman is at the UNiversity of Illinois AT Chicago, NOT at the University of Chicago - they are two distinctly different schools.
