74. Wait they contradict themselves.
They state "Their results, in conjunction with other elements of statistical models used by the National Election Pool (NEP) and the decision desks of their news organization members, are best suited for determining the difference between the two leading candidates and whether it is safe to call a particular race for one of them."

So these exit polls are designed to tell the news media if it safe to call the election for one party or the other. So the exit polls were right on target until late in the evening.

Only after adjusting for the actual vote did these exit polls call the vote for Bush. Sooo to me this indicates a serious problem.

Does anyone else see this?
