Reply #125: That's why we need to know the TN precincts that were included.

In fact, Tennessee was one of the few states where Kerry's vote exceeded the exit polls slightly. That doesn't surprise me, given the considerable anti-Bush sentiment being expressed among the conservative country people who I helped register to vote, as well as the visible disgust with Bush being expressed in the wealthy neighborhoods of Williamson County, a very Republican county south of Nashville. What did (and does) surprise me is that neither the "reported" vote nor the exit polls in Tennessee came close to any of the pre-election polls.

Given Mitofsky's apparent complicity in the election theft (despite him apparently "getting religion" recently and submitting a report which contained hard evidence he did not need to include which debunked for us his primary theory for the poll/"reported" vote disconnect), I would be interested in the representativeness of the precincts chosen by Mitofsky to poll in Tennessee. Selecting heavily Republican precincts to poll would pad the exit polls as easily as manipulating the 70%+ of our votes that was cast for the first time on touch-screen machines without paper trails in Tennessee.
