Will anyone in either party have the guts to outlaw the release of exit polls until all the polls in the country are closed. They are used to make decisions on how people may have voted, what issues were more important than others, how certain groups voted, etc.

They are now being used to try and predict outcome, affect the morale of one group over another. It’s against the law to campaign at a polling station, even wear a candidates hat or button to a polling station. Why the hell do we allow the early release of exit polls? They serve a purpose, but they are not meant to be used on the day of the election to try and influence people.

Being a conservative and all, I favor the “personal responsibility” approach.

When will voters perform a cranial-rectal extraction and learn to vote their conscience without regard to exit polls?
