Footprints of Electoral Fraud:
The November 2 Exit Poll Scam
by Michael Keefer
www.globalresearch.ca 5 November 2004

Republican electoral fraud in the 2004 presidential election was widely anticipated by informed observers--whose warnings about the opportunities for fraud offered by "black box" voting machines supplied and serviced by corporations closely aligned with Republican interests (and used to tally nearly a third of the votes cast on November 2) have been amply borne out by the results.1

One of the clear indicators of massive electoral fraud was the wide divergence, both nationally and in swing states, between exit poll results and the reported vote tallies. The major villains, it would seem, were the suppliers of touch-screen voting machines. There appears to be evidence, however, that the corporations responsible for assembling vote-counting and exit poll information may also have been complicit in the fraud.

Until recently, the major American corporate infomedia networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox, and AP) relied on a consortium known as the Voter News Service for vote-counting and exit poll information. But following the scandals and consequent embarrassments of the 2000 and 2002 elections, this consortium was disbanded. It was replaced in 2004 by a partnership of Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International known as the National Election Pool.

The National Election Pool’s own data—as transmitted by CNN on the evening of November 2 and the early morning of November 3—suggest very strongly that the results of the exit polls were themselves fiddled late on November 2 in order to make their numbers conform with the tabulated vote tallies.

2. That's very interesting, TIA

So at one point in the evening, the discrepancy between exit polling data and tabulated counts amounted to -- what? -- about 12 points. That's rather difficult to believe, isn't it?

7. Perhaps e.g. Keith Olbermann can confront the exit poll suppliers
with this?

8. Can I ask what may be a dumb question?
I’m not used to looking at statistics or exit polls etc. but I was just looking around on the net and found this information regarding CNN Exit Polls (the adjusted ones).

If I'm reading it right, the breakdown of respondents regionally is

East 2888
West 2640
South 4456
Midwest 3676


My question is this:

Doesn’t this breakdown mean that exit poll results (nationally)would really have been skewed even more in Bush’s favor given the geographic distribution of Respondents to the exit poll? What am I missing in understanding these?
