7. It has to do with where votes are "red shifted."

As you point out, late votes are "not electronic." Election day votes are. A five point "red shift" has characterized our Presidential elections since 1988--denying our elected Democrats the landslide result they deserved and denying defeated Democrats elections they actually won. It has been suggested that this phenomenon is associated with Karl Rove getting technology on the side of his primary and general election clients over this period.

The mathematics of all this has been brilliantly researched and documented by professional mathematician Richard Charnin. Since 2004 this has been the primary, if not exclusive focus of his professional life. The same difference you observe between election day votes and late votes applies to early votes.

Here is the link to Charnin' s analysis for the 2012 election--state-by-state and national (including weighted averages for the national numbers and percentages): http://richardcharnin.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/2012-election-fraud-a-true-vote-model-proof/

The problem was addressed at a NYC press conference on October 22, 2012, and in DC at the National Press Club on October 24, 2012 featuring former Rove operative, Jill Simpson. Both conferences can be viewed at: http://electionprotectionaction.org. Richard Charnin participated in the DC conference by telephone.
