    Statistical Science 2011, Vol. 26, No. 4, 517–527 DOI: 10.1214/09-STS295 c Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2011 The 2004 Venezuelan Presidential Recall Referendum: Discrepancies Between Two Exit Polls and Official Results Raquel Prado and Bruno Sans´o Abstract. We present a simulation-based study in which the results of two major exit polls conducted during the recall referendum that took place in Venezuela on August 15, 2004, are compared to the of- ficial results of the Venezuelan National Electoral Council “Consejo Nacional Electoral” (CNE). The two exit polls considered here were conducted independently by S´umate, a nongovernmental organization, and Primero Justicia, a political party. We find significant discrepan- cies between the exit poll data and the official CNE results in about 60% of the voting centers that were sampled in these polls. We show that discrepancies between exit polls and official results are not due to a biased selection of the voting centers or to problems related to the size of the samples taken at each center. We found discrepancies in all the states where the polls were conducted. We do not have enough information on the exit poll data to determine whether the observed discrepancies are the consequence of systematic biases in the selection of the people interviewed by the pollsters around the country. Neither do we have information to study the possibility of a high number of false or nonrespondents. We have limited data suggesting that the dis- crepancies are not due to a drastic change in the voting patterns that occurred after the exit polls were conducted.

Sometimes an incomplete registration form is to blame. Other times, people have moved since registering and Tmay show up at the wrong polling place. But in many cases, processing errors by election administrators, overly aggressive purging procedures, or other mistakes outside of the voter’s control result in the voter being mistakenly left off the voting rolls. Under the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), voters whose names cannot be found on the voter rolls on Election Day or whose eligibility is challenged must be provided a provisional ballot.1 These provisional votes are subsequently counted if local election officials are able to verify, by a set deadline, that the individual is a legitimate voter under state law.2 The Presidential Commission on Election Administra- tion found that “high rates of provisional balloting can .

Kalsow <� er: 0 1891 U- ,.... 0 ')/,.. 0 0 '\'- SOCI AL SCIENCE WORKING PAPER 942 October 1995 COMPARING ABSENTEE AND PRECINCT VOTERS: A VIEW OVER TIME Jeffrey A. Dubin Gretchen A. Kalsow Abstract This paper examines the trend in absentee voting over the last thirty years in Cali­ fornia. With the liberalization of absentee voting laws and practices, an increase in the numbers of absentee voters quickly followed. Absentee voters have already demonstrated their ability to influence the outcomes of local elections. An open question is what will become of absentee voters in the future. If they are the model for "voting at home," and if technological advances allow such, then the behavior of current absentee voters may be indicative of the future electorate. The increasing trend of voters opting for absentee ballots is analyzed by using GLS on a random effects time-series cross-section model with county level data. The focus is on identifying structural factors such as changing voter demographics that have influenced the decision of voters to cast absentee ballots. Thirty-three recent state-wide elections in California are the basis for this analysis, covering the statewide primary and general elections from November 1962, through November 1994. We find that the impact of demographics and time trends on absentee voting differ between general and primary elections. In addition, we find that a 1977 liberalization law in California had the effect of accelerating the usage of the absentee format.

If not, you will see an error message. • Call the Elections Office—you will have to break the Red Sticker Seal on the front door of the black ballot box. • Release the Scanner and then tilt it up so that the voter can see the underside of the machine. Do not look at or touch the ballot unless the voter asks you to do so. • Ask the voter to carefully remove the ballot from the bottom of the Scanner, using both hands. • If the ballot was not counted, ask the voter to check for any rips or tears on the ballot. If there are none, then the voter may re-scan the ballot. • If the ballot is damaged beyond repair, spoil that ballot and re-issue the voter a new ballot.

    Dorling, D. (2019) Would you let this man drive your daughter home? Public Sector Focus, August/September, August 30th, pp.14-17. https://flickread.com/edition/html/index.php?pdf=5d67acffb3d60#17 Would you let this man drive your daughter home? Danny Dorling In the early hours of July 19th 1969, a few days before the first man stepped on the moon; a car swerved on a bridge in Chappaquiddick, Massachusetts. Ted Kennedy, the 37-year-old younger brother of the President of the United States of America was at the wheel. The car plunged into the water. Ted managed to swim free. He left Mary Jo Kopechne, his 28-year- old passenger to die in the vehicle. At some point, as it slowly submerged, she drowned. Ted notified the police of the accident ten hours later. Another man had recovered the vehicle and found Jo’s body. Jo was very pretty, a secretary, a typist, a loyal political activist and a dedicated Democrat. She died just over a week before her 29th birthday. It was at first seen as a joke when Lord Ashcroft asked the question ‘Would you rather allow Jeremey Hunt or Boris Johnson to babysit your children’.1 The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported that ‘in a curious little snippet from the weekend. According to a poll by Lord Ashcroft, only 10 per cent of voters would let Boris Johnson babysit their children.’2 However, it was more than curious, some 52% of all voters said they would not allow either of the two candidates vying for the leadership of the Conservative party such access to their children.
