CNN - VNS data is unreliable and election results will be measured by real votes and NOT projections.

Exactly as it should be - if it were up to me, exit polls would be outlawed, and the only thing they would be allowed to report is actual vote totals after all polls were closed.

post 2000 the media felt pressure to dump VNS. they resisted that pressure because they were too lazy and greedy to spend the money to do their own work. now the chickens come home to roost. Well, at least no projections in florida before the panhandle votes this time.

Translation: Our exit polls show to many Republicans winning and Democrats that were supposed to be winning slipping or close to losing.

BTW, What are they saying on the Fox News Channel? Any reports from them?

Let me guess......the good numbers being showed by Drudge is what the VNS was giving out.....and now they have found it to be an error.

Geez........right when I get excited, something bad happens. I think I need to get off of FR until late tonight and don't watch tv for a long time tonight........

Nice translation! And it explains why Rush has consented to being on NBC tonight. He smells it too.

NEW YORK (AP) – Voter News Service, an elections consortium of six media organizations, is developing and testing a new system to count votes that will be running for November’s midterm elections, VNS officials say.

The member organizations – ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox and The Associated Press – reviewed the changes at a board meeting last week.

VNS IS the media....the reason they beleive the material is unreliable is that Republicans are kicking butt....AND THEY CANT BELIEVE IT....

The Real Story:

As reported in a paperback book years ago, the VNS is a fraud and used to steal elections for the powerful......

Last year, GWB had the resourses to prevent Algore and the democrats from stealing the election.....since then an honorable man has been in office, and the VNS is afraid of getting caught

In Addition, Fox news, a user of the VNS but not a part of the criminal liberal media, started, as a legtimate user of the service, to look closer and ask questions, questions that before were NEVER ANSWERED......so

This year the VNS, criminal enterprise going to the highest bidder, is out of business, and America gets a real vote, and hopefully the Predsident gets a real senate.

BTW, where did the exit polls come from that were also posted on here (the numbers that conficted with Drudge)? I am afraid those horrible numbers may be closer to reality if the Dems got out the vote like it looks like they did.

Weird. What the f*ck is going on? Why exactly is exit polling so much less "reliable" than in the past, now?

See above -- it's a new system. The interesting question is how they've determined it's untrustworthy.

Based on early exit polls, GOP is set to win Georgia, Missouri, Minnesota and S Dakota

This is the information that shut VNS down.......

Add this to reasonable projections already made: Dole, Allard, and the others and bingo....away go the hill billy bandits and little tommy
