"AP becomes sole source for vote-counting on election day"
"Six major US media organizations such as ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox News Channel and the AP have formed the National Election Poll(NEP) to replace VNS.
This time, the media organizations signed contracts with two veteran polling companies -- Mitofsky International and Edison Media Research that will conduct exit surveys for the Nov. 2 presidential election.
The two polling companies agreed that the AP, which has been counting the vote since its founding in 1848, would be their sole source for vote counts. Each of the news organizations will use data provided by NEP to make its own projections on the election night."

They change their names pretty regularly, but it's the same thing. . .
they need to just ban exit polls.
I am now comforted that they will likely be crap due to high GOP turnout in rural areas that won't be as represented, many voters still to come, and absentee ballots needing to be counted.......plus how off they were at this point in Florida in 2000.
GOTV!!!!
