I have never told the truth to an exit pollster. Nor will I ever. |
|
If you want to know how I voted, count my ballot by hand. Count it tonight, or count it tomorrow. Count it THE DAY AFTER FOR FUCK'S SAKE. I don't care. You've NO RIGHT to ask me how I voted, and I'm under NO OBLIGATION to tell you. EVER.
I've lied about how I voted, I've lied about my demographic, AND I've lied about whether or not I've even voted.
We practice SECRET BALLOTING in this country. Google it, or go to Wiki and learn what "secret balloting" is.
The MSM has imploded because of its need to "call the election" before anyone else.
I like to think I had a hand in that.

3. So...why not just refuse to answer instead of lying? |

No one forces you to answer an exit poll. :shrug:

5. You do realize exit polling is done internationally in order to |
|
help verify the election in the absence of a forced recount, right?
And you do realize exit polling- at least, prior to this shameful era in this one lonely nation- is very widely recognized as a valid indicator of likely election results?
I don't *trust* exist polling to be a be-all-end-all Magic 8 Ball, but neither do I condemn exit polling as an unconscionable practice. Exit polling is one benchmark among several, and in this day and age, we need as many benchmarks as possible.

Are you going to bother to vote in our "primary"? I haven't decided if it's worth it.

7. In 35 years of voting, I've never BEEN exit polled |
|
I'm surprised you say you "never" answer them. Do you live in New Hampshire or something?
How many people here have actually been asked to participate in an exit poll? I'm suddenly curious.

I told them "I would prefer not to say" and bolted. They has a video camera in my face too - how annoying!

It's none of the pollsters' damned business.
