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.

4. what I have been saying about the exit polling is..

we have used this method for YEARS to determine the election..it was showing Kerry in a landslide which we all believed to be certain...and of course...

it changed..

why was it so off THIS year as opposed to others? they can't explain it away except that "the exit polls just were not showing what we thought" the MINUTE I heard that asshole Lisa Meyers start spinning that the machines were showing different numbers...I knew it was starting to go the other way..due to fraud...no proof just a hunch..

YEARS of exit polls have worked..and this one hasn't..

Why do weird things happen with Bush presidential elections? TWO in a row...Rove involved...hmmm....nobody seems to see it...its so OBVIOUS


sorry I got off topic and went off on a tangent..but it is so annoying! LOL!
