I don't know why you would accuse me of that, Vern. I think what I wrote
below was entirely correct and not misleading. It was a statement based
on my reading of the two documents that I cited. Anyone can check if I
was accurate. Imoprtantly, I don't think anything you wrote in the
remainder of your reply indicated that I was incorrect.
here is an excerpt of what was originally said about weighting that has
to be answered, and NO ONE, not even the honorable Robert Kennedy knows
the formaula used to derive who is winning based on the exit polls, no
one that is, EXCEPT the pollsters.
Why do you say that? The pollsters don't make raw data available? Where
did you read that?
So how can anyone be sure of the accuracy of this exit poll? It has
never been done before.
Right. They never had that large of a sample before. It was twice as
large as in previous years -- so we should be doubly skeptical of the
results? You really need a stat course, Vern.
Why is it that someone who knows nothing can come across as so confident
in his opinions as you do? I think it is because you are an ideological
extremist who wants to promote a political-religious agenda. You won't
let facts get in your way. You don't seem to really think anything
through. You just toss out one silly objection after another hoping that
one of them will work for you. What a waste of time. Try being objective
some time. I'm serious - it's a lot more fun and interesting to try to
figure things out than to try to defend a position against all reason.
Even the smartest of people make mistakes.
Right, so we don't really know anything? Or are you saying that you might
be wrong?
I want the election fraud stopped, no matter who performs it, but I am
not prepared to say there is a concerted effort from either party to
overthrow American elections. There could be those instances in some
precincts and we have to deal with those issues as they come up. .
Apparently, they have come up.

That table is very misleading because when you go to the source...
http://www.tcf.org/publications/pow/nov17_2004.pdf
...you find that the numbers are "completely unweighted," which is
inappropriate and entirely different from the exit poll numbers in the
Bush/Kerry race.
