115. Exit polls are NOT the way to prove fraud folks! And this "data" is missin
missing so much. There is no way this is going to fly with the press. I am a sociologist and I've taken stats classes and this is missing too much info to be taken seriously.

1) clearly from people's posts there are a mixture of voting methods in various states. Thus, you can't say one state is wholly one way or the other. You could do this with specific districts in states- but I don't know how you would get that data.

2) where are the exite polls from? I asked this (as did others) and no reply.

3) exit polls change. they depend on the time they were taken- when people got out to vote etc... I know someone who worked for the Wisconsin polls and they explained to me that exit polls always change during and after the election.

4) (why I am replying this to BevHarris specifically). I so very much appreciate what you are doing pulling this all together- but I really stress that this only weakens our fraud case. There is data that shows fraud- but this isn't it. Maybe if it were much more detailed.

ok. my 4 cents!
