My letter to Dick Morris, about the exit polls..........
To Dick Morris,
About the exit polls. You know if you would be honest with yourself that we never had problems with exit polls until 2000, the very year electronic black box voting machines with no paper trails, were first used. Gee, imagine that. Well those guys who got it wrong for the first time in 2000 were fired and new guys were hired. Now, if you are an honest person you will note that the states that had outcomes that matched the exit polls were the states that were not using the electronic voting machines. The states that didn't match exit polls were using the machines. If you are an honest man you will also note that Mr. Dell, owner of Dibold, maker of these machines, said last year that he would deliver Ohio to Bush. Well, I guess he did just that.

1. Good letter, great points!
Too bad Morris has crossed over to the dark side and won't get it, or if he does, won't care. The inmates are now officially in charge of the asylum!

3. Has anyone analyzed this?
You say that there is a correlation between the accuracy of exit polls and the use of electronic voting. I've not seen that before and find this an interesting point if true. But where is there evidence that backs this assertion up?

There is a bar graph here on DU, I saw it this morning
I don't know how to link you to it but I bookmarked it. Kerry won exit polls in Ohio and Florida. He had a huge 80% lead in new hamp. but it turned into almost even. All three states heavily use the machines.

7. The link that you are talking about I posted below. Hadn't read your
thread before I posted it. The graphical analysis was posted by pandorasox on The Faun Otter link; Showed 9 states, 3 paper ballot states from Illinois, Maine and Wisconsin with very good correlation between exit polling and actual counted votes. The 6 states with electronic cheating machines, showed marked discrepancies between exit polling and tabulated votes. Bush won FL and OH by electronic cheating in which Kerry had won in the exit polling. These 6 states were NC, NH, NM, FL, OH, and PA.
