25. They said something about a 15% Early/Absentee threshold.
Edited on Sun Jun-26-05 09:01 PM by Bill Bored
If the Early/Absentee vote is that high, they still used the precinct to make their "projections" but left it out of the analysis of the exit poll discrepancy. It does seem as if the error/fraud was lower in these precincts, but perhaps not significantly. It could be that the absentee/early voting polls came closer to the actual result too, but I don't think we've shown this yet from the numbers.

This could mean there was more fraud/exit poll error on election day, which you'd expect if someone were using the early results to decide to shift votes on E-day.

Off hand, do you know if their are any safeguards against viewing the early voting results partially or completely in either DREs, Op Scans or GEMS itself? (I doubt it, but stranger things have happened!)
