44. Those are fine questions
...that I wish we had answers for. But, we can only get answers if we ask for more interviews. That's a pretty hard thing to get if everyone is going around saying the exit polls are done just fine, no need to look into it, nothing going on here, move along...

I don't think it negates the racial claim. I think someone who is mildly racist can get past it, if approached better. If left to the mildly racist voter, I can see them choosing to move past the pollster. However, if this voter is approached in a manner that is more disarming, then I can see more of these voters getting past it and taking the interview. It doesn't negate the racism, it just gets better at overcoming it.
