The punch card is put into a folder concealing the punches. Folder and card
are deposited into the ballot box.
Hi,
Does someone know how to include weights in the S-Plus rdl1.s algorithm
(the robust regression algorithm developed by Hubert Rousseeuw)? Of
course, the algorithm already include a weighting scheme (based on
distances of x points w.r.t. a robust center of an ellipsoid) but I
want, before

I think Paul's idea of eliminating punch cards is probably a good one. But, this is
really only a problem with large voting districts. The error rate is about 32 out of
1000. Usually, the error is an undervote, i.e. somebody voted, but it was not
counted. For small districts, it would be

Does anyone know WHY so many states DON'T DO IT THIS WAY?

Based on the problems we have in ansering vague questions on edstat, I can
say that any requestor must be able to state the question, so we here (using

Can anyone provide a reference for this?

Hi Dennis!
I was wondering when someone would have enough sense to suggest the need
for a simple pilot study. Thank you for your good sense and good advice.
It is amazing how much time, energy, and effort is saved by taking such
a simple step as running a pilot.
Thank you,
Gary
