Projections for Election Day 2006
Fair Vote, a non-partisan nonprofit, released What You Won't Learn From The Polls. This very interesting report is a compilation of short essays on varies aspects of the election. Chapters include such titles as; What Do Votes Have to Do With It: Democrats majorities may not win seat majorities, Monopoly Politics: How on Thursday we will predict nearly all House winners… for 2008, and Slouching Toward Diversity: Who’s to gain when a few more white men lose?. The essays are based on the analysis presented in the report Monopoly Politics 2006.
Another piece of worthwhile reading material can be found at www.projectvote.org. Project Vote released two briefing papers that investigate any expected problems in the 2006 General Election covering nine states. The nine states discussed are Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The first report identifies the anticipated problems in each state which are based on election procedures and concerns from the 2006 primary and 2004 general election. The second report examines the different voting machines used by each jurisdiction and problems associated with each machine.
