Reply #5: Exit Polls are used worldwide to verify elections and check for fraud. [View All]

And it is universally accepted (except here) that a discrepancy between the Exit Polls and the "official result" probably means that fraud has occurred, and an investigation is warranted, and probably a re-vote.

Exit Polls must therefore absolutely continue in use here. The problem with the Exit Polls on 11/2/04 (which Kerry won by a 3% margin) is that the TV networks CHANGED the Exit Poll results--"altered" the Exit Poll data that everybody was looking at on their TV screens--to fit the official BushCon-controlled electronc results (the "official vote"). Thus, most Americans DIDN'T KNOW that Kerry won the Exit Polls (unlike the folks in the Ukraine, for instance).

One other problem: Edison/Mitofsky (the 2004 Exit Pollster) chose (or the networks chose) to do a demographic poll, in which they not only ask who you voted for but also gathered information on race, religion, etc. This gave the BushCons a ready-made but DECEITFUL talking point, when the real Exit Poll numbers came out, that "it was just a demographic poll." In reality, there is no reason a demographic poll would be inaccurate on the prez numbers (which Mitofsky admitted). And then Edison/Mitofsky, trying to save their sorry asses, threw them another bone--that Republicans were shy of the pollsters on 11/2. This has been entirely refuted, in a Jan. 29 report signed by NINE Ph.D.s from leading universityies, who say that E/M's Exit Poll data actually indicates just the opposite--that the Exit Poll FAVORED BUSH--and that this means that Kerry's margin in the Exit Polls (3%) is probably even larger.

Without the Exit Polls--that is, without their REAL results (which were leaked)--we would not have had any data for analyzing the election, except the BushCon-controlled "results."

The only comparison data would have been paper vs. electronic--and also top of the ticket vs lower ticket, number of voters vs. number of votes, and other internal evidence from the election itself.

In the two '04 cases that have been studied of paper vs. electronic--Florida and N. Carolina--fraud (or utterly impossible skew to Bush) has been found in the electronic vote (vs. the paper vote). Impossible skews to Bush have also been found in the other internal evidence.

But without the Exit Polls, we would have been unable to show the OVERALL skew that occurred NATIONALLY, and our case for fraud would be weaker.

Exit Polls are vital to the integrity of the election process, and would be even with paper ballots and hand counts, and no central electronic tabulators owned by BushCons.
