When they (freepers) say that the polls were not accurate (despite the evidence that they were)

and

the exit polls--which are used worldwide to verify elections and check for fraud--

Hmmmm. Okay. I'm not a freeper. Guaranteed. Find one freeper comment I've made. But, I'm skeptical of:

<> the tallied results of the November 2004 election

<> the news monopolies

<> the voting machine vendors

AND

<> the exit polls.

The main exit poll guys were hired by the news monopolies. The same news monopolies that REFUSE, utterly refuse, to seriously cover the massive and diverse instances of election flaws and fraud. Mitofsky/Edison STILL haven't released details of their numbers, methodology, etc. They and the media are hiding it. Why? You tell me.

Exit polls, you say, verify elections. Well, sure, they can "verify" each other, if they're both crooked, and they change midstream to match each other. Then, the media comes afterward and "verifies" the whole sham.

Exit polls can, in theory, be used to find out what certain demographics did-- did young Hispanic males vote this way or that, what about soccer moms, etc. But, none of this stuff works without transparency and honesty, and these exit polls had no more transparency than the election itself.

I'm not saying they exit polls are wrong. I'm saying I don't know, and I'm not hitching my wagon to them.
