Reply #7: What a piece of crap he is.

TERENCE SMITH: Warren Mitofsky, what do you think about that? Has it reached a point where you ought to review what you do and how you do it?

WARREN MITOFSKY: Well, we review what we do after every election. We learn from our mistakes. Fortunately, we've had very, very few mistakes. The process is extremely reliable. As I say, I've participated in over 3000 elections in a half a dozen different countries. Prior to last night I have had exactly five mistakes in all these years. No process is perfect, but this process is about as good as I think you can make it. And we'll make it even better learning from last night's mistakes.

TERENCE SMITH: What are the lessons from last night's mistakes?

WARREN MITOFSKY: Well, the lessons are not to be more careful. We were as careful as we could be. And we were wrong. We can institute certain statistical procedures to help us with our quality control and our verification of numbers before we believe them and use them. And that part of the process deserves looking into and will probably get refined as a result of what happened last night.
