Has Professor Freeman made any comments |
|
about M$Ms about face re exit polls. He presented one of the best papers about the 2004 Exit Poll scandal.
Has anyone at M$M said a word about why they accept exit polls now but rejected them when strange things happened in Ohio in 2004?
Why do we allow these criminals and their hacks to 'get away' with this madness?

are starting to re-calibrate the polls from the very beginning as they notice differences between the probably phony machine read-outs and the raw data coming in for the exit polls.
In 04 and 06 I think they didn't start re-calibrating until later on, when the differences between the polls and the "results" became obvious and so might possibly prove disconcerting. This was the basis of Freeman's book and the work of Baimon at www.electiondefensealliance.org
In other words, now the exit polls will be almost entirely worthless as a way to verify the accuracy of the machine count unless the raw data is released and the chances of that happening are probably not high.
Stay tuned.

Thanks :hi:
I read both the original article and his update but I haven't read the book yet. What I do know is that he did not buy the difference between the exit polls and the final result on Ohio. Indeed he said the difference was mathematically impossible.
