Reply #44: It is still just a smell test - the word rigged for the election is solid

[papau]

but I would not use the word rigged for the exit poll.

The rules of the game required a final fit be made between the "real" votes and the exit poll.

It was the "real" votes that were rigged. The FINAL exit poll was messed up by that fraud.

The only exit poll rigging is the fact that our pollesters do not scream that the final fit violates the smell test - and that it therefore implies the election "real vote" numbers are a fraud.

In other countries we call for new elections IF - and only if - there are reports of observed fraud in the election. For some reason the 40,000 reports in the US Election are deemed not enough to trigger that response - so we are left with "fixing our exit poll procedure" -

crazy.... :-(
