Reading, Writing And Arithmetic Alaska Style



The Really: The voting numbers in Alaska's elections make no sense?

Nate Silver of the of fivethirtyeight.com says they don't make any sense and he nailed the national election results with precision. At Mudflats there is an excellent recap of what is so funny. The funny is: fewer Alaskan's voted in the presidential and senatorial elections than voted in the primaries and the poll numbers are 15-22 points off where as they were darn close in the lower 48. With your Governor on the ticket 14% fewer people voted? Really? I mean REALLY??!!
