OUR LAST AND BEST HOPE: Beat on Edison Media Research and Mitofsky

[Shalom]

There's an intriuging article by Lynn Landes in Online Journal that emphasizes how the American people have been stiffed by the National Election Pool (NEP) and it's two exit poll providers, Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International:

One need not agree with the interesting hypotheses proposed by Ms. Landes to note how useful her efforts have been, even though as a single individual, she has merely scratched the surface of the stonewall that has been erected around the exit poll process.

It suggests that a concerted effort by thousands to contact staff members of these organizations, could put some more pressure on them to come clean. For example, the web site for Edison Media Research lists the following individuals on their management team:

Larry Rosin
Joe Lenski
Rob Farbman
Melissa DeCesare
Jason Hollins
Sean Ross
Tom Webster
Deena Hollander
Sabrina Benton

These are real people, who I guess work in Somerville, New Jersey (based upon the phone number on their web site). Without harrassing such people, one would hope that one of them might be willing to share some of the vital information on their sources and methods that we are unrightfully being deprived of.

I've focused a bit on Edison partly because Mitofsky seems to get a lot more attention, but this kind of focus should definitely be applied to both organizations, from top to bottom.

Going back to the info in the Online Journal Article, it cites information from the NEP website that 5,000 poll workers were hired to conduct the exit polls.

WHERE ARE THESE 5,000 PEOPLE ?
CAN'T WE GET IN CONTACT WITH A SINGLE ONE OF THEM ?

A final amusing tibdit from Larry Rosin, President of Edison Media Research (would be funnier if it wasn't really so sad):

"In Ohio, for instance, Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) tends to report extremely late. So there is a chance one will see Bush leading in the vote count throughout the night, only to be eclipsed by Kerry at the wire as heavily Democratic Cleveland’s votes come in."

Finding out more about these exit polls is our last best chance to demonstrate that something really rotten happened in the United States of America on Nov. 2 2004. The tracks of the computer hackers may have long been erased, and the more our scholarly research demonstrates statistical evidence of fraud, the more they will laugh at us.

WE NEED TO FIND SOME REAL PEOPLE WHO WILL TALK, AND SOON!
