Defendants-Appellees. 

AFFIDAVIT OF DR. ROBERT S. MILLER  

STATE OF LOUISIANA ) 

PARISH OF ORLEANS ) 
SS: 

Dr. ROBERT S. MILLER, being duly sworn, deposes and says: 

1. I make this affidavit in opposition to Appellants motion for summary 
judgement. 

2. I am currently President of Market Research and Issues Management, 

Inc., located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. A copy of my resume' and relevant 

professional experience is attached to this affidavit as Appendix A. 

3. I have extensive experience in the analysis of voter behavior with 

particular reference ta voter fall-off, turn-out participation, and voter 

demographics In Louisiana. Specifically, I have conducted statewide legislative 

district analyses for the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, and 

have participated professionally in more than 70 elections in Louisiana. I have 

provided voter analysis, targeting, and opinion research for 11 judicial elections 

and have worked for Sylvia Cooks, a black candidate in the 18th Judicial 

District, in her most recent judicial election, and Fay Williams, a black 

candidate in the 8th Louisiana Congressional District. I have worked for eight 

black candidates in municipal and legislative offices. I have served on the staff 

of the Department of Experimental Statistics, Louisiana, State University, and I 



am the political polling and elections consultant to Channel 2, WBRZ television 

station in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. 

4. I was retained by the Louisiana District Judges Association to assist 

in their analysis of reports prepared by the experts for the State of Louisiana 

and the plaintiffs in Clark v. Edwards. The State of Louisiana in this case has 

asked me to present my opinions with regard to those reports analyzing the 

presence of racial dilution in judicial elections conducted within Orleans Parish. 

5. The fact that there is voter polarization does not mean that there is 

racial vote dilution. In the elections in the First Judicial District involving 

Lynch and Stewart, in the 19th Judicial District involving Pitcher, and in 

Orleans Parish involving Morial, Ortigue, and Magee, although there was 

polarized voting, the black candidate chosen by black voters was elected. 

While bivariate ecological regression is one method to establish polarization in 

voting, both sign-in and participation rates must be considered to establish 
racial vote dilution. 

5.1 Sign-in data as available in Louisiana, is an indication that a voter 

has actually presented himself at a polling place on election day. In Louisiana, 

this information is recorded for each voter by the dates he has presented 

himself to vote, as well as his race, precinct where registered, party 

affiliation, and date of birth. By knowing the dates of the election, the type 

of office contested (executive, legislative, or judicial), as well as the race of 

the voter who signed-in, the best evidence is generated to determine voter 
participation patterns. 

5.2 Participation is the choice of the voter to •cast a vote in one or more 

elections on a single ballot. On a multi-election ballot the number of voters 

casting ballots for each position to be chosen may vary. The variance in the 

actual number of black and white voters casting ballots in the same election 

forms the basis with sign-in data and bivariate regression to establish the 
presence of racial vote dilution. 

6. Bivariate Ecological Regression as used by Engstrom is a procedure to 

estimate polarization in previous voter behavior. The best data to study 

specific voter behavior is exit interviews of voters as they leave the polling 

place. The next best procedure is to use sign-in data as the basis for analysis 

of voter behavior. A study or experiment should not be designed to suit any 

particular method. A researcher must be guided by theoretical, practical, and 

observational demands. Whatever data are generated, should be analyzed by 



the optimal method of analysis that the researcher can find. A method of 

analysis should never dictate the measurement, design, and collection of data; 

this applies to the use of the bivariate procedure by those wishing to document 

vote dilution. The availability of election day voter participation data by race, 

(sign-in data), indicates that the bivariate procedures used by Engstrom are 

not the optimal research procedures to analyze Louisiana elections. Sign-in 

data is available from State Registrar of Voters. The data used by Engstrom 

to analyze Orleans elections ignores sign-in data. 

Engstrom's analysis seeks to test covariational relationships. Typical 

propositions stating covariational relations are: "The higher the A, the higher 

the B"; "The higher the C, the lower the D"; and "The lower the E, the lower 

the F." The first proposition states a positive covariational relation, the 

second a negative covariational relation, and the third proposition, a reverse of 

the first, is also a positive relation. Propositions about covariational relations 

are concerned with co-occurrence of two or more activities. They provide no 

information about which activity is cause and which is effect. For example, the 

covariational proposition, "prestige varies directly with power", suggests that a 

person who has a lot of prestige, however defined, is likely to have a lot of 

power over others. The proposition does not tell us whether he gains prestige 

because he is powerful or becomes powerful as a result of his prestige. The 

problem is that Engstrom's methods are designed not to explain actual voter 

behavior. Rather, his methods are designed to reach a conclusion that if the 

results of elections are polarized, then racial vote dilution is to be implied. 

This methodology, which is based on but two factors (votes per candidate and 

the race of registered voters, not the race of those who actually voted), 

factors that are not the best available data, does not enable one to reach valid 
conclusions about vote dilution. 

It is my view that the dilution issue has not been proven by 

Engstrom's analysis. Specifically, Engstrom must show not only the extent to 

which the electoral preferences of the minority group members differ from those 

of the rest of the electorate; he must also show the extent to which the level of 

participation .in the electoral process is lower amongst minority group members 

than others, leading to minority voters having less opportunity than other 

members of the electorate (i.e. white voters) to elect candidates of their choice. 

Engstrom's analysis is based on estimates of behavior of potential 

voters, where potential voters represent the pool of registered voters in each 



precinct who may or may not vote in any election on election day. Under 

Engstrom's logic, potential voters could as easily be minority individuals of 

voting age, whether they are registered or not. 

Engstrom's estimates of both votes cast for the black or white 

candidate and "participation" rates are biased by imputing black voter efficacy. 

Engstrom assumes that 100$ of black voters desire to vote for every position on 

a ballot. This establishes the benchmark for black voter behavior at 100$ of 

registered voters. This is a key bias in one's analysis as both estimates of 

"participation" and voter percentages are based on a model of total voter 

participation. The preferred procedure is to measure actual participation and 

percentages based on the numbers of black and white voters signing in, 

computing the various roll-off and turn-out percentages, then comparing these 

percentages to the total voting population, or the potential voting population. 

7. The dilution question in judicial elections can not be resolved if 

drop-off characteristics (whether voters had voted for one item on the ballot 

but had failed to vote for a judicial post lower down on the ballot) are not 

considered. Engstrom does not use drop-off data in his analysis. If a voter 

signs in on election day, he has an opportunity to vote. If the voter does not 

cast a ballot for a particular post, then that is the voter's choice; the voter 

still had an opportunity to vote. The results of roll-off can be dramatic. As 

Fay Williams' pollster during the congressional election, I recall that in the 

run-off election between her and Clyde Holloway, a white candidate, almost 

6,000 fewer voters voted for the congressional position than voted on the same 

ballot for either U. S. Senate candidates John Breaux or Henson Moore in the 

Scotlandville area, a 90% black area of East Baton Rouge Parish. As Ms. 

Williams lost her election by fewer than 6,000 votes, had those voters cast a 
ballot, Ms. Williams might have won. 

8. In Engstrom's double-regression procedure, non-participation rates 

are based on the pool of potential voters rather than actual voters. The result 

is that the potential exists to misinterpret voter preferences. For example, the 

results of the Sylvia Cooks election (an election in which I designed voter 

targeting objectives), show that when Ms. Cook ran a second time, she received 

fewer votes (both black and white) than during her first campaign. At the 

run-off following her second campaign, she received still fewer votes than 

during the primary. However, the percentages of those black's who did cast 

cast ballots for Ms. Cook were consistent. This shows that Engstrom's analysis 



is biased. If one looks at actual voter behavior, one cannot account for 
election results using Engstrom's procedure. 

9. I have reviewed material by Dr. Ronald E. Weber concerning the 

Louisiana Secretary of State 1987 primary election. Dr. Weber used a 

precinct-based data base in doing his. statewide analysis. He performed 

regressions based on the total number of registered voters, not the actual votes 

cast. Dr. Weber analyzed each precinct in each judicial district and reported 

his results by judicial districts. I prepared the following figure as a graphic 

presentation by judicial district of the weighted regression analysis performed 

by Dr. Weber. As shown in the chart, there is no clear pattern among the 

estimated voter cast by black voters. From my expert review of Dr. Weber's 

report, I can conclude that there is no clear pattern among the estimated votes 

cast by black voters even using Dr. Engstrom's analysis methods. Sometimes 

the estimated black vote for all white candidates exceeds the estimated black 

vote for a candidate. Sometimes the estimated black vote for one or more 

specific white candidate exceeded the estimated black vote for both black 

candidates. At no time did the estimated black vote for one black candidate 

uniformly exceed the estimated black vote for any white candidate. I also 

participated in a district court primary election in the 19th judicial district 

between McDonald, Pierson, and Clark, a black candidate. In that election, 

Ms. Clark received substantially less than 50% of the black vote. The majority 

of black voters preferred Pierson, a white candidate. This shows the fallacy of 

the assumption that when given a choice, black voters always prefer a black 

candidate over a white candidate. Therefore, the use of only black/white 
election contests is flawed. 

11. Given that Louisiana has had open primaries since 1976, at which the 

party affiliation is irrelevant for voting, that single shot voting is allowed; and 

that I am not aware of any impedimenta to voting sine 1976 in the First 

Supreme Court Judicial District, I believe that all judicial elections since 1976 

should be included in any analysis seeking to to establish that minority voters 

can not elect candidates of their choice. The analysis prepared by Dr. 

Engstrom in my view is incorrectly limited to elections with black and white 

candidates. Dr. Weber examined 191 judicial district court elections (126 

majority win, 34 plurality win, 31 run-off win). As shown by the following 

charts, which I prepared using Dr. Weber's data, it appears clear whether one 



looks at the results statewide by district, or statewide by year that black 

voters have elected candidates of their choice more often than not.
