CNN just changed their Ohio exit poll page

[EarlG]

It's been showing the following all night:



Kerry up 2 among men, up 6 among women.

At 1:41am they changed the results to favor Bush:



Now Kerry is suddenly down 5 among men, tied among women,

The media is trying to steal this for Bush.

9. MSNBC's also changed...

Earlier, when the crap started getting funny, I made sure I had that window open, then saved it to my hd. I also bookmarked the page.

When I went back to the page just now, the numbers had changed.

I just don't know how to insert graphics on DU.

[magatte]

10. I had noticed this as well,

But didn't know how to do a capture of the screen. I am not sure how they can change exit polls results in the middle of the night... 8(

15. CNN changing Ohio exit polls

It's true. CNN is scum. But, haven't we known that? There is one good thing about CNN and that is Aaron Brown...everything else and everyone else makes me want to tear my hair. CNN has some mystique, some cachet, some indefinable something that makes people think they are above the craven networks. But CNN is just as corrupt as the networks if not more so...I mean, they've got Bob Novak...doesn't that say something is really rotten? And by the way, when is that SlimeMeister going to jail?

20. Email Kerry/Edwards camp and send to air america radio

[MacGregor]

21. The updated numbers aren't even mathematically possible.

Unless the original figures were in error. But even if they uncovered an additional 57 respondents, the math doesn't work. (And why, then all of a sudden now are the original figures in error? Does someone need a legitimacy booster shot now? Shit, don't answer that...)

I think my math is right, here, but try to follow:

With 1,963 respondents, a 47% men respondents figure is 923. A 49%/51% B/K split is 452/471. With 2,020 respondents, a 47% figure is 950 men, an addition of 27 men respondents. A 52%/47% B/K split is 494/456. Except even if all 27 new responses were solely for *, it could be no more than 479/471 (50.4%/49.6% B/K ).

With 1,963 respondents, a 53% women respondents figure is 1040. A 47%/53% B/K split is 489/551. With 2,020 respondents, a 53% figure is 1070 women, an addition of 30 women respondents. A 50/50 B/K split is 535/535. Except even if all 30 new responses were solely for *, it could be no more than 519/551 (48.5%/51.5% B/K).

Jesus, we been so completely jobbed by the pollsters and media. Fuck, these assholes learned nothing from 2000, did they? Not that they give a round little damn, of course.

[makhno]

22. Lubing up the electorate for some major buggery

Just like the reports of Dick Cheney's motorcade leaving the Naval Observatory. It's all being set up to make a shrubco "victory" feel "natural."

But it won't pass. No concession from Kerry = no victory for bush.

[Shadoobie]

23. Thank you!

I saw the other threads and when I looked at the polling data it didn't match. Thank God for screen capture.

[NinetySix]

24. Save this information!

It will be vital to add it to all the other information being compiled on this, what amounts to a coup. I'm nominating your post for the homepage.

[socalover]

26. I printed it in color and can scan it! I saw it! LYING FUCKERS!

[blm]

25. Media blast this ...especially to Knight-Ridder.

[fwiff]

27. Post this on the pres thread, too!

[Julius Civitatus]

28. Good job, Earlg

These big media people are EVIL!!!!

They are trying to steal it again for Bush and cover their tracks regarding Kerry's poll numbers. Save these screengrabs, they are priceless. As some suggested, send them to Michael Moore and also to Gregg Palast.

[socalover]

29. WRITE CNN, COMPLAIN, http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form1.html?21

LYING FUCKERS!

[SoCalDemocrat]

35. Forget CNN, give it to their rivals

Send it to all the rival networks along with my statistical analysis of the unexplainable 5% edge Bush pulled off in EVoting states with no audit trails.

Please help me compile more information on this problem here:

[Jasper 91]

51. I've just emailed CNN

And am going to send emails about this to everyone I can think of . How can Kerry be ahead in the swing states in the early voting , ahead in yesterday's exit polls and still have less votes than * . It just doesn't make sense .

As soon as I saw * smug face early on , I knew he knew the fix was in . Diebold and other Republican voting machine manufacturers have served this election to their satanic master , as promised , and the right-wing media is complicit in this fraud . Their bias and distortions of the truth , will only get worse , and The * White House will only get more secretive .

This is grand larceny , on the grandest scale , and as long as these machines are used , the Democrats will never be elected again .

[SoCalDemocrat]

30. I did the math, it's NOT POSSIBLE - clear fraud

Please help me compile more information on this problem. I've been tracking it for several hours now and have observed a discrepancy in every state with EVoting that doesn't have audit trails. I've been reporting it here at DU. In the past hour CNN has apparently begun altering their exit polling data to cover up the problem.

We need to start a national media alert campaign to get this information into the press. Every state I analyzed that used EVoting and no audits showed a 5% edge for Bush. Every other state with EVoting and audits or no EVoting the exit polls matched the actual voting results.


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...


I ran CNN's numbers above, and it's clearly impossible for their results to have changed that much. What they're doing is fraudulent and a blatant attempt to cover up this emerging EVoting scandal.

Between those two screen shots, exactly 57 more persons were polled. If every single one of them were female, and every single one of them voted for Bush, that would account for a 2.3% increase in the exit polling results for female voters. They show a 6% increase for Female voters supporting Bush.


Why am I thinking CNN has been reading my thread on DU that shows the EVoting is inexplicably skewed to favor Bush?


Also try to get us screen shots of the percent of precincts reporting against those numbers. Their other page shows it.

I've been tracking this all night. Every exit poll vs. actual results was skewed about 5% in favor of Bush in states with no audit trails on EVoting. Those with audit trails matched up.

I resampled Florida and Ohio twice, and got the same results. This was with 90% or more precincts reported.

To prove it, we need screen captures of their pages with the 89% precincts reporting and their exit poll data up.

[socalover]

31. Enough is enough!

[kainah]

32. Chuck Todd on C-SPAN

is reporting that they re-weighted the exit polls because, based on actual voter tallies, it became clear that the exit polls had oversampled black voters.

That's what Chuck Todd said.... I don't know why they would go back to change exit polling, but.....

[pschoeb]

47. Yep, all the exit polls for every state have changed at CNN

"Rewiegh black vote" - means black vote suppressed.

[Romberry]

33. Someone please do the math. Is that swing even possible?

At the 12:21 am update with 1963 respondents they showed men for Kerry over Bush by 51-49% and women for Kerry by 53% to 47%. The 1:41 am update shows a complete swing including a full 6% among female voters with a total of 2020 respondents. 2020 minus 1963 = 57. Can a mere 57 respondents account for this swing? If so, wouldn't basically each and every one of the *new respondents* have had to been for Bush? What are the odds?

[MacGregor]

39. I did, up in Post 21. IT'S AS FISHY AS SHIT!

I still don't see how it works even if all 57 of their new phantom respondents went for *.

(Though I'll admit am, in all regards spent, I think my math is right. Anyone else, feel free to check my work...)

[Doodlesweaver]

42. We are going to bust these assholes!!!

[PretzelWarrior]

34. THANK GOD someone was on this! My god..they are unbelievable

they will say and do anything. just like 1984. down the memory hole.

[Doodlesweaver]

36. Are you going to save this someplace else?

We all need to save this to our computers, etc. Send to memory hole. Otherwise they might take it down and we will lose it. I hope to God someone with more computer sense than me can figure out how to save this.

[socalover]

37. KICK THIS FUCKING THREAD UP!

[VolcanoJen]

38. Send this to Atrios, David Brock, Josh Marshall ASAP!!

Nice capture!!!

[monchie]

43. I've sent them to Atrios

I also sent my MSNBC Ohio screen captures.

[Roland99]

40. *60* People can swing the % by THAT MUCH?? BULLSHIT!!

[gcomeau]

48. Mathematically impossible. See post 46 for the figures.

-Grant

[imax2268]

41. just sent

to the Kerry Campaign...!!!

[symphony]

44. this is freakin' unbelievable

how do you change something that concluded hours ago?

Those bastards have thought of everything. We can outsmart them though.

[gavodotcom]

45. WAY TO FUCKING GO, EARLG!

Great catch and nominated.

[gcomeau]

46. Math clearly shows updated results are RIGGED...

... to reflect the vote counts that were reported.

First CNN exit poll:

1963 respondents: 47% Male (923), 53% Female (1040)

Males for Bush: 49% of Males = 452 voters
Females for Bush: 47% of Females = 489 voters

Males for Kerry: 51% of Males = 471
Females for Kerry: 53% of Females = 551

Second CNN exit poll:

2020 respondents (57 more than the first report): 47% Male (949), 53% Female (1071)

Males for Bush: 52% of Males = 493 voters.
Females for Bush: 50% of Females = 535 (and a half, I don't know how they rounded)

Males for Kerry: 47% of Males = 456
Females for Kerry: 50% of Females = 535 (and a half)

Hello? Apparently not only did they find an extra 57 voters HOURS after the polls closed to add to their **exit polling** results, but they LOST 21 Men and 16 Women who had voted for Kerry in order to make the exit polls match the vote count. Maybe they just decided after the fact that those people had actually said they voted for Bush and they misheard them... because Bush's totals went up by well MORE than 57 votes.

There can be no doubt, the update is bogus.

[FatDave]

49. Florida changed too

Please see this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

[FatDave]

50. You know what they're going to say...

That we photoshopped the screenshots.

But I fucking saw the numbers change with my own eyes.

[Charles19]

52. I noticed this too, if these bastards steel another election

If I were the Dem's in House and Senate, if they do this again I would have them ALL resign in protest and leave those defunct lying bastards to fend for themselves.

No f'ing way can we let this happen in America again.

[VIHMH5L50P]

53. I can't believe this

need I say the obvious? It was rigged and we were robbed. So basically we busted our asses for a year to win an election and we did, but then just got uit taken away, for the second time in a row and by and the same sonsofbitches who got the art of screwing people all figured out like an artform, they got all these fucking lawyers ready to freeze us out of the process and if we complain, even if you can prove it, tough shit, get your ass out of here, heil hitler. This is America now.

[cthrumatrix]

54. they needed to "clean up" the crime scene....why would you change it?

[FourStarDemocrat]

55. People send this page to MEDIA MATTERS.ORG and everywhere else!

We have to fight it out with them each step of the way.

[marcus_b]

56. I've seen it.

I have seen this change, too. I have witnessed it live. I was completely baffeled by it.

I don't know why that happened. Your guess is as good as mine. But it certainly requires an explanation from CNN.
