26. But, if Mitofsky's "exit survey" data was corrupted
- by mixing in "actual" votes towards the end of the day - in terms of what proportion of votes went to which candidate,

- and if this "racially profiled" data could only come from the "real" exit poll data from earlier in the day (since the "actual" votes ae not so profiled),

- then - either this "race" data cannot be directly related to the "actual" vote (nor to Mitofsky's "final" totals), or else these figures were also massaged, fiddled, cooked in Mitofsky's "survey".

Where is the flaw in this logic?

Was similarly "profiled" data released (at the state level) along with the exit poll updates earlier in the day, and if so, were these percentages the same?
