16. So then, it seems to me that the reports of the two precincts
which the USCV report refers to as a "smoking gun" must have involved vote fraud (unless the miscount was accidental of course). Whether you talk of sampling bias or non-response bias doesn't matter, because the USCV report apparently refers to all voters who did not complete the exit poll, whether they refused or were never approached. In other words, even if every voter who refused to take the poll or who was not asked to take the poll were counted in the poll as Bush voters, the official count would still over-state Bush's vote. How can that be due to sampling bias?

Am I missing something?
