The NYT says EXIT POLLS are used to Protect the Integrity of the VOTE |
|
Why are people just rolling over and discounting what happened? The exit polls are used all over the world to monitor for voter fraud! Read what this New York Times article said just last month: --------------------- Exit Polls to Protect the Vote
By MARTIN PLISSNER Published: October 17, 2004
WASHINGTON — Since the 1960's, the exit poll, that staple of election-night television, has been used along with other tools to declare winners when the polls close in each state, and its accuracy is noted later when the actual vote count proves it right. A landmark exception, of course, came in 2000, when the networks initially gave the decisive Florida vote to Al Gore.
But now exit polls are being used in some places to monitor the official vote count itself, either to validate the outcome or to mount a challenge to it.
That has happened in several countries in the last year, and in the United States one organization plans to use exit polls in five closely contested states in November to measure whether there have been impediments to voting.
Last fall, an American firm, whose polling clients have included Al Gore and John Edwards, was hired by some international foundations to conduct an exit poll in the former Soviet republic of Georgia during a parliamentary election. On Election Day, the firm, Global Strategy Group, projected a victory for the main opposition party. When the sitting government counted the votes, however, it announced that its own slate of candidates had won. Supporters of the opposition stormed the Parliament, and the president, Eduard A. Shevardnadze, later resigned under pressure from the United States and Russia.Full article here: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/17/weekinreview/17plis.html

The rule of law may still apply in the US of A! And the chimpo has already laid some bad cards out on the table! He may well have started smirking too soon!
