36. You mistake me
I am ALL in favor of getting the raw data. I agree, it can be useful.

My only contention is that the current exit polls we have, the ones that are partially weighted and the final one that is fully weighted, are not themselves useful for fraud detection because both have empirically been shown to be flawed (either by always weighting to heavy Democratic in the pre-fully-weighted version, or being tailored to the actual vote in the fully-weighted version).

Conyer's is not a senator, by the way. Boxer has not made the request, as far as I know. I wish she would.

As for the difference between WPE and methodological bias, I would ask that you define WPE. I don't know what it is, and I have been following most exit poll threads. So, it would be polite to actually define the term, so I know if there is an actual difference or not.
