Reply #10: No no no no.... It says absolutely NOTHING about the recorded vote. [View All]

Sorry, but it doesn't.

Unless, that is, you know for a fact that every other number in the exit poll is a 100% accurate reflection of the actual vote count, voter preference, etc. And you don't. No one does.

There are an infinite number of ways the numbers could have been tinkered with to match the recorded vote. They simply chose a way which made no sense based on the facts (maximum number of possible 2000 Bush voters voting).

They could have chosen any number of possible combination of percentages (both within the realm of possibility and without) and still ended up with the same net totals for Bush and for Kerry.

Let's try this:

4 reds + 4 blues + 4 greens = 12 total

1 red + 8 blues + 3 greens also = 12 total

Proving "4 reds" is impossible doesn't prove 12 total is also impossible.
