167. The corresponding Hamilton precincts' WPEs are -28%, -12%, and -9%
The raw-to-actual deviations shown in post #163 were calculated using the multiple precinct polling place data - because it is likely that all of the precincts at the polling place were sampled.

However, Mitofsky's Within-precinct Error (WPE) is calculated using the specific precinct data.

Four of the 5 National exit poll precincts in Hamilton and Cuyahoga counties have higher WPEs (-28%, -12%, -12%, -9%) than those counties' 8 State-only exit poll precincts (-8% to 8% WPE).


Perhaps it is more difficult to administer the 4 (intermixed) National questionnaires than the single State questionnaire.
