How do exit polls work with mail voting? Retrograde May 2016 #12
Exactly, and a vast majority of vote by mail voters. No exit poll would be accurate anyway. nt anotherproletariat May 2016 #14
Good idea. Betty Karlson May 2016 #13

An exit poll in California is not cheap. But I guess the Revolution is all about spending other people's money.

stand outside all day, and ask people how they voted?

Oh I get it.... they want someone else to do that for them. No problem, just hire some people and pay them $15 an hour.

It worked in the Republican primary this election cycle. It just doesn't work for Democrats.

probably wouldn't have the same clout as a poll conducted by a professional organization.

California isn't Oregon - only about half of voters here vote by mail. So, aside from the sheer size of California, how does one set up an exit poll that takes mail - and early - voting into account?

So many DUers ascribed so many devious shenanigans to Rove's evil genius that I almost started to get impressed with him despite myself. Now if DWS is capable of all of this awesome sorcery she must have some uncommon superpowers.

Can't imagine how you make the connection with sorcery. It's just corruption. But hey: if you want to call DINO-Debbie a witch, feel free. Clinton supporters get away with a lot of sexist language on this forum.

Just not announcing it. They want to know where to campaign and sshit like that, right?

Anyways time would be better spent figuring out how exit polling works and getting a group together or finding an independent group to do it.
