The TV networks altered the Exit Polls that night. It's very important to understand this, because it's why there was no Ukraine-like reaction from Kerry voters.
Late in the day, they began feeding the "official" Republican controlled electronic vote tabulation "results" into the Exit Poll figure on screen, and this made it look like Bush was winning both the Exit Polls and the "official" results. We did not get two separate figures to compare (as they did in the Ukraine). And this didn't' come out until about a week later (at least that's when I learned about it, with the Freeman report on 11/10). I picked up somewhere that Mifosky (the Exit Pollster) admitted that they did this.
Exit Polls are not useful at detecting fraud unless they are kept separate from the "official results." That is the point of Exit Polls--to COMPARE them to the "official results."
If we'd had two conflicting figures on our TV screens--the Exit Polls saying Kerry won, and the "official results" saying Bush won, you can be sure that we--Americans--would have been out on the streets. This lying piece of shit they did--mixing the results--is THE worst, most treasonous, most disgusting, journalistic crime that Bush's lapdog media has ever committed, bar none.
Some smart people took screen shots of the Exit Polls in the afternoon, before they began to be polluted with the "official results," and this is what Freeman used for his analysis.
But we don't have all the Exit Polling data. It undoubtedly shows a Kerry blowout. (What we have shows a Kerry win, I think by 3% to 4%.) Mifosky and networks refused to give it up.
Mifovsky's statement was something like they're still "analyzing" the data (uh-huh, I'll bet that's what they're doing to the data) and will release it sometime in the spring of '05. Conyers and others have asked for it. They refuse.
Americans saw through all the BushCon B.S. and voted these criminals out of the office. So, Americans are neither stupid nor lazy.
In fact, it was a feat of great intelligence and savvy--because Americans saw through it all WITH NO HELP FROM BUSH'S LAPDOG MEDIA! --in fact, with nothing but constant 24/7 Bush propaganda in their eyes and ears. So, what Americans did was AMAZING!
It was the greatest moment in our democracy's history!
Some may be fearful NOW. I don't think anybody was BEFORE, because we thought our democracy would work. I did, anyway. You get a bunch of lying, scumbag, mass murderers running your government, you vote them out, right?
I knew about electronic voting. I figured Kerry needed a 5% cushion to overcome it. I was wrong. As someone upthread commented, no amount of votes could have put Kerry in the White House. (Although, possibly a 70%-90% margin might have been impossible to fiddle--but BushCon dirty tricks and relentless propaganda news prevented anything like that. If some of the fools who voted for Bush, or who didn't vote, had had honest journalists on their TV screens during the campaign, Bush would have been reduced to his 20% to 30% white Christian fundamentalist base--his only real support, in my opinion, if all the truth about him and his cabal were on the airwaves.)
I had that horrible, sick feeling in my stomach, and my whole being, that people are describing--much like what people felt after JFK's assassination--for some hours on the evening of Nov.2--but, by midnight, I'd figured out that the early polls and the later polls could not be so out of whack (it's the working poor who vote in the evening! --didn't add up), and I had a working hypotheses of how they stole it. That made me feel much better. Then I found DU.
