The second exit poll - showing Kerry and Bush about even - would been Mitofsky's attempt to match the recorded vote as it came in, wouldn't it?

If the difference between the first exit poll and second exit poll was at least partly the result of sampling bias (rBr), that portion of the red shift could have been caused by additional Republican voters or by additional Independent voters who voted for Bush. It would not necessarily mean that Democrats stayed home.

How high were the turnout rates in the West?
