5. After 2004 and 2006, the exit polls no longer reveal the actual raw data
as I understand it. Now instead of "re-calibrating" toward the end of the election so that the exit polls match the alleged real result, the exit polls are now being adjusted as the election proceeds, and I don't think the raw data is going to be revealed anymore either, presumably because the great unwashed can't be trusted to come up with an "accurate" exit poll based on raw data. Only the cognoscenti can do that.

If I am coming to false conclusions here, I'd be interested to know where I'm off base.
