Talk:Florida Central Voter File

/Archive1

NPOV dispute?

there are no insinuations in this aricle. there are statements of relevant and significant fact.

the phone call is a statement by the vice president of the company that made the central voting file for 2000. I fail to see how a factual statement from the source in question is a non-factual opinion from a source other than the source in question. Kevin Baas | talk 21:57, 2004 Aug 27 (UTC)

The page is a list of facts compiled from multiple sources and corroborated. The primary sources are listed at the end of the article.

The facts are laid out chronologically, without interpretation or extrapolation. If, in putting the facts together, one forms an overall picture and draws certain conclusions, that does not mean that the article is not npov. That is their own synthesis of the information and their own conclusion that they are coming to. The sentiment invoked by that conclusion is not proof of pov.

This article is one of the most biased, illogical and false ones I have read on this Wiki yet. I fully support the inclusion of the NPOV tag - this article is a mess! [[User:Rex071404|Rex071404 File:USA.Flag.20x12.gif ]] 03:27, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Find me a false statement in the article. Kevin Baas | talk 17:32, 2004 Sep 4 (UTC)

Appeals is not a reliable measure. This is clear because of the great number and extent of mistakes made. Besides the fact that people who knew that they were felons probably wouldn't bother appealing. And people who are felons generally know that they are. Giving this, one should expect that the vast majority of those appealing are non-felons, yet, non-felons' appeals were rejected at a significant -seemingly arbitrary- frequency.

It is not required that the distribution be homogenous in order for the sample to be representative, as you have suggested now in the article. It requires only that we have no knowledge about the distribution. In this case, we have no knowledge about the distribution, as you have suggested in the article. The extension to the larger sample size includes this lack of knowledge in the confidence level. It is misleading to say that these have not been taken into account when indeed they have.

And you're arbitrarily ommiting the verifiable fact that none of the names on the felon list were hispanic?!?! Kevin Baas | talk 17:51, 2004 Sep 4 (UTC)
