What can we do to protect Exit polling data from being eliminated?

[shance]

As we have learned from the elections in 2000,2002, and 2004, the exit poll data has consistently been the primary source of warning that something wasn't right.

The exit polling data is the canary in the coal mine and is absolutely essential in showing the overall voting momentum and is virtually fire proof. Now it appears that there are those who are trying to eliminate the *truth-telling data* from being used by the networks until hours before the results are in, thus trying to insure more invalid, and/or questionable election outcomes.

What are some actions we can take in order to stop this? Any suggestions?

1. I have an idea.

I wrote about my plan on my blog today (under the burning bush). I think it's doable. All we need is 2 or 3 people per precinct, paper, sharpie markers, some locked containers, and some video cameras.
