I stand corrected. I forgot that online sources are not always footnoted at the end of articles. However, I have read both articles and my statement concerning ad-hominen dismissals of sound statistical research stands. Furthermore, the very fact that we are having this debate is evidence enough that large numbers of people (millions of us) have lost faith in the equity of electoral politics. That includes everything from voting, to gerrymandering, to the corrupting influence of dirty money. This whole business has gone far beyond the simple point-counter-point of argument. It has gone beyond all REASON.
