2 Perhaps Bush voters voted later in the evening than Kerry voters, and perhaps the exit polls didn't properly account for this.

Baloney. The places with the most problems regarding long lines late in the day were places with high Dem turn-out. Dems work during the daytime, most of them vote after work.

3 Perhaps Bush voters were more reluctant to participate in the exit polls.

Why would they be reluctant :shrug: unless they were ashamed to admit they voted for the shrub. ;-)
