125. You miss their point
They argue that data cannot be used to verify the election in any way. It can't be used to prove fraud. It can't be used to disprove fraud.

Yes, if they were to analyze the data, they would have to show the data they are using. But, if they analyzed the data, they would have to ignore their own thesis - that the data cannot be used to verify the election.

Does that make sense? If no, let me know. I can probably come up with an analogy to make it easier.

*****************************************

Why the raw data isn't released: If the raw data is meaningless, why would anyone release it? To accept this answer you must accept that exit poll experts know more than you do about exit polls and what they are capable of telling us (depending on it's design). I had to do it. But, I could be irrational.

"This nation has a history of manipulating exit polls in other nation's elections to validate or invalidate the perception of an election's validity"

Please provide some links and sources for these claims.
