Reply #187: Well, that's quite possible of course [View All]

and I didn't mean to imply that exit poll skews all by themselves are necessarily persuasive. My point is that those skews do count for something and if, for example, people hypothesize from them that the vote tallies may be distorted and investigate the latter thoroughly then that's a good thing. I think perhaps one should also differentiate between understanding something and being able to persuade others. My sense is that what transpired in the election can be understandable. In my experience there's a lot of overlap in the way people think, so if there was fraud then it can be figured out, given time, effort, persistence and perhaps a little luck. Persuading others, though, well that's another story!
