91. Althecat, you said/please explain
Edited on Sat Jan-01-05 01:34 AM by Bill Bored
"In a nutshell 20% of the exit pollees were new voters."

Well, either new or 3rd-party voters in 2000, but mostly new.

"According to the exit poll these broke 65%/35% to Kerry."

Yes.

"The actual result is the reverse."

Where did you see an actual result that showed that 65% of new voters voted for Bush?

"We are not talking about a 5% or 10% or even 3* the MOE discrepancy here... the exit poll among these 20% of the voters was out by 100% (recording bush's vote at half of what it actually was) no systemic error can explain this."

I don't see where this was recorded. Please explain. Are you perhaps confusing new voters (i.e. those who didn't vote for Bush or Gore in 2000) with the ~65% of the vote Bush would had to have gotten after 7:30 PM (see post 29)? These are apples and oranges.
