textExit polls and ‘actual’ results don’t match; Evoting states show greater discrepancy by repost

This also makes sense with the obvious consolidation of exit polling into AP alone and the strange 'failure' of the only other exit polling company besides AP in 2000 (VNS), so that exit polling data cannot be examined. International observers complained they had worse access to polls than in the Middle East, and states like Florida are suddenly making strange laws that no...

That's because, in important states like Ohio, Florida and New Mexico, voter names have been systematically removed from the rolls and absentee ballots have been overlooked—overwhelmingly in minority areas, like Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, where Hispanic voters have a 500 percent greater chance of their vote being "spoiled." Investigative journalist Greg Palast reports on t...

Pro-Kerry campaign-watching sites began trumpeting early exit poll data just before 2 p.m. These included MyDD.com, which said it had access to exit poll data showing Kerry leading in several swing states....
