Six Observations on the PCA's Voting on BCO Amendments

[sastark]

As many of you know, I have been creating maps for The Aquila Report, showing how each of the PCA Presbyteries have voted on the (now failed) proposed amendments to the PCA BCO. I have also been keeping track of the vote tallies from each Presbytery, and now that a significant number of Presbyteries have voted, I've done a bit of analysis of the numbers. You can find my six observations here: The Ruling Elder: Six Observations on the PCA's Voting on BCO Amendments

Also, for any other statistics junkies, I've posted a spreadsheet of the raw data, so others can make their own observations (which I'm sure will be better than mine!).

Thanks for your work on this.

Six VERY interesting observations.

Seth,
I think your statistics are thrown off significantly by the unusual situation in Western Carolina. When that presbytery voted, the matter had already been long decided.

Fred,

I'm not sure I see how that throws my statistics off. A lot of Presbyteries have voted after the matter has been decided, both approving and rejecting the amendments. Perhaps you see something I don't. Can you elaborate?
