Richard Morin, WaPo "Director of Polling", confirms fraud while denying it |
|
It is the same guy that wrote the article I posted last night. I really think that this person is an extremely important source of information. http://www.theunionleader.com/articles_showa.html?article=47559

1. Odd, he seems to shy away from the historical accuracy of exit |
|
polls on calling elections. And he makes no mention of Republicans owning the voting machines and Republican Sec. of States who controlled machine placements. Or how easy it is to game results on machines with no paper trails.
I wonder which Party Morin belongs to?

He insists in writing this opinion, that I find most revealing:
"In the first release, at 12:59 p.m. EDT on Election Day, Kerry led Bush 50 percent to 49 percent. That statistically insignificant advantage grew to three percentage points in a late-afternoon release, where it remained for hours, even as the actual count began to suggest the opposite outcome. It was only at 1:33 a.m. Wednesday that updated exit poll results showed Bush ahead by a point."
Once again, the exit poll results, he says, were "fixed" to match the vote "totals."
No doubt about it!

It also includes this gem:
"Perhaps the Democratic skew this year was the result of picking the wrong precincts to sample? An easy explanation, but not true. A post-election review of these precincts showed they matched the overall returns. Whatever produced the pro-Kerry tilt was a consequence of something happening within these precincts."
Thus very nicely exploding what many skeptics had concluded was "obviously wrong" with the exit poles.
