Analysis: This misleading assemblage of facts and figures was somewhat accurate when it first began circulating in 2000 but became entirely false when it reappeared verbatim in 2004, citing precisely the same data under the pretext of interpreting that years' election results. Needless to say, those numbers are also inaccurate for 2008 and 2012.
people like vendzilla are suckers for these kinds of forwards. i guess it tells them what they want to hear.
