11. Thing is though.. they need the exit polls in one form or another... |
|
...in order to know how many votes to steal so it still looks credible.
I can't see the networks agreeing to this though. Not to mention politiical scientists etc.

15. how many votes to steal? |
|
althecat, you are correct. How are they going to know how many votes to steal if they don't have the exit polls?
I guess they could simply steal them all...as gullible and lazy as the media is, they wouldn't question it.
These guys are trying to steal democracy from us and are not hiding it very well. Where is the outrage?! I cannot believe that most Americans cannot see through this.

Yeah, really. That's exactly what they'll say. They'll get Radical Cleric Pat Robinson out in the media, starting prayer teams to pray for the end of the evil sin of exit polling. I can see it now.
And welcome to DU! :hi:

22. They don't need the exit polls to know how many votes to steal |
|
Using the AP feed of actual votes or manipulating the central tabulator is easier and gives more reliable data that the reliable exit polls.
Don't let them spin the exit polls being "wrong" into an excuse not the have them!

23. We have to organize our own exit polls |
|
We have to do this now. We have to have checks and balances on the exit polls. We need to hire a university or a news org or some kind of institute to do our exit polls.

25. I'm surprised they didn't say they wanted to end voting altogether. |
|
As long as they can call a terror alert in the middle of a dem county ballot count, what's the dif, I guess.
