Exit polling done by the bias press.

How about no polling period within the last week of the campaign.

When you tell 'em "F#&@ You" do they count that as a Kerry vote?

The problem isn't exit pollers. The problem is members of Moveon.org and ACT posing as exit pollers in order to harass and intimidate GOP voters.

I am against exit polling and early calling of the election results. The leftist media just use this tool to manipulate the public.

Hmm. The plain text of the statute excludes anyone except voters and officials from 100 feet of the polling place. Yet, the judge overturns that law because of the media's claim that it infringes their First Amendment-derived right to report the news?

Sigh. The First Amendment protects the media's right to publish information. It does not protect a "right" to collect information. If it did, then the government would have no ability to keep any information secret. Reporters would have to be allowed to broadcast secret intelligence briefings, criminal court proceedings, jury deliebrations, etc.

Apparently, that isn’t too far from the truth. Gallup, supposedly, was taking people who refused to talk with them after exiting early voting sites and marking them for Kerry.

First: When I was a child, your vote was known only to you. Not your wife, not your kids. They knew what party you stood behind, but not your actual vote.

Second, NO ONE asked you before or after you went. It eliminated all efforts at intimidation, AND eliminated the power the MEDIA has to PREDICT/FORECAST, basically suck you up into watching TV so they can hawk products for their advertisers.


We ought to insist it be this way again. Betcha if we did, the MSM's would file lawsuits. I don't know how they could FORCE anyone to tell, but if everyone cooperated and WOULD NOT TELL, the MSM would lose all it's POWER, and actually have to resort to RESEACHING FACTS, REPORTING THE TRUTH, etc.

too late to organize this now but there should have been a concentrated effort to get out this message to conservatives:

"If you are approached by an exit poller just say you voted for Kerry"

a) it will keep them from harassing you
b) it would skew the numbers on the news and help drive more conservatives to the polls
c) it would skew the numbers so badly on the news that it would be shown for how useless it is
