But the Dems have learned from their mistakes during ‘Walker’ and have honed their voter fraud skills. Trying to stay positive though.

Here is MSNBC saying the Wisconsin Recall is TOO CLOSE TO CALL. It would be HOURS AND HOURS until we knew the result.
49 MINUTES later it was called for Walker 53-46.

That's a helpful bit of history.

Lesson: Don't believe exit polls. They oversample Dems. By big margins.

Funny. Especially the idiot saying in the coming days Walker might be indicted.

Been sick as a dog for 4 days now.
It’s 34° and raining.
When I left from voting the real count said one more for R&R.
.. and one more from my wife earlier in the day.
.. and one more from the young girl we convince today that she is really a republican. :)

Does anyone know if there is an “official” Election night thread?

Thanks for the reminder, MNDude!

We all know better than to trust exit polls. In the 2000 and 2004 elections they were wrong.

I've read that there is a lot of "response bias" in exit polls. I'm not sure what that means in this context, but I do know that Republican voters tend to be less likely to be interviewed by exit pollsters on their way out of the polling place.

Why is this?
Could it be that Republicans want to hurry home to their families, have dinner and put the kids to bed...
...while a lot of Dems are single people, or have no children ... so they are lonely and in no hurry to get home (but are eager to chat up --or hit up-- the young pollster)?

Another question for me is the selection of precincts for exit polling.
Supposedly certain precincts are chosen because they are thought to be good "bellwethers" for the whole state, based on previous elections.

But what if things have changed drastically from the previous election? E.g., maybe a coal-mining precinct in eastern Ohio will turn out to be a better bellwether, this year, that some other traditional bellwether precinct.

WI is a bonus state, right? Not a necessary one, unless OH is lost?

That said, glad to hear we might get this one.
