Reply #31: Yes! I agree!

Sorry if my post didn't make it clear. When I used the word "reliably" with the skewing of the exit polls I didn't mean that they skew in such a way as to be predictable or correctable. What I meant was that one can reliably expect that there will be a skew.

As for my little equation, I did not mean to imply that Diebold was in Ohio or that all three of those things (gerrymandering + vote suppression + faulty machines) occurs in all states. What I meant here was that those three things do occur in various places (not necessarily all at once everywhere) and all work to undermine the election system.

I absolutely agree that Vendor From Hell scenarios did not happen and that speculation is both pointless and unhelpful when there are documented problems.
