How can you tell a rBr from a rKr?

How can you tell a rBr from a rKr?
Do they look different?
Do Bush voters look different from Kerry voters?

Now, for sure an exit pollster can tell if a rBr or rKr is male or female.
And also if a rBr or rKr is black or white.

But how can an untrained pollster tell the difference between a rBr and a rKr? She can't.

Unless...she sees the rXr drive off.

The rBr will drive off in a brand new SUV, 7 MPG.
The rKr will squeeze into an old Volkwagon.

More SUV's.
That's how they knew.

1. Yup. And I think a lot of those rKr's were registered Republicans who...
...might well have been concerned for their lives admitting a Kerry vote in Republithug precincts.

2. Almost everyone in Seattle is pro Kerry
Lexus and VW alike. One of my kids goes to a private schools full of the ultra wealthy and being for bush is a rarity.

3. You are right. You can't tell a rBr from a rKr.....

and you can't assume he/she voted the same as a respondent having the same age, sex and race.

That is the problem NEP has with "adjusting" for non-respondents.


(On edit: you could assume that a young black woman rr is probably a Kerry voter.)

5. They're shadowy people. Hard to see, but we know they're there, otherwise
we have a serious problem with our election system. And that would be just plain unAmerican.

6. They can actually be detected only when...
swamp gas trapped in a thermal pocket is reflecting the light from the planet Venus.
