why would a SOS try to prevent exit polls?
I tell you, you may think I am a heretic but, mark my words, the rest of the nation will soon be under the total grips of evoting because no one paid attention to Nevada.



"Parker, in a letter Friday to Buckley, said, "Certainly, if polled, the citizens of America would opt for higher vote turnout rather than the right of network television and other media outlets to proclaim a victor based on exit polling."

Heller also said he had concerns about exit polling in Nevada because "it screwed up the 2000 election."

"Here we go again. Did we learn nothing from 2000? If we give out Nevada numbers early, do we affect people who are still voting in Alaska or Hawaii?" he said."

1. The house Judicial Cmmte is req. Mitofsky info, so that should get to the
bottom of the exit poll vs. tally problems, (especially if we keep up the pressure).
