Charnin's numbers don't prove anything. But neither do the "official" exit poll numbers which his work helps to underscore.

And he rightly points to a major discrepancy in NY in 2004. He wrongly pointed to the lever machine as the culprit despite being shown how that can't be the issue. He does, rightly, take issue with the computerized tally of the individual lever machine totals. But that's NOT the lever machines fault. Those numbers should be derived by a manual aggregation at the election district level, then at the county, then at the state---as should be the case with opscan sub-totals.
