1. Funny how information is scheduled to be released too late.

Edie Emery, a spokeswoman for the consortium, said the group did not want to comment on Conyers' request. She said that, as after past elections, much of this year's data "will be archived at the Roper Center and the University of Connecticut in early 2005."


In addition, she said, the firms that produced the exit polls are reviewing this year's results and will submit a report to the AP and networks "in mid- to late-January."


The information Conyers wants typically isn't made public. He's looking for the late afternoon or early evening rough estimates of who was ahead. That data are only supposed to be used to help reporters and editors plan stories.

2. The owner of this website has a lot of data.

I believe I recall him stating that he would keep all the data collected from before, during, and after the election. I'm sure he'd be happy to share anything, as he was a Kerry supporter.
