"The news of the early exit poll numbers sent shockwaves through everything...the internet, talk radio, mainstream media, and most likely some mid-day voter turn-out.
If Kerry truly had been up big in every single battleground state then indeed it should have ended much differently.
Dick Morris just said on O'Reilly that "exit polls sometimes miss percentages - but they never make up results that aren't there".
"By doing so," he went on to imply, "it seems to indicate that someone was manipulating the results or the process."
He went on to explain different ways it could have been done. Having some knowledge of where the exit pollsters were polling the Kerry campaign could have flooded those areas - not with voters but sheer numbers designed to answer the polling surveys. Another option was on the part of the survey takers to purposefully avoid polling men in disproportionate numbers. And yet another option - they just flat made things up.
From the stock markets, the futures trading, the blogosphere, and mid-day poll workers it seems likely that the early Pro-Kerry false returns were designed to suppress enthusiasm of committed Bush voters.
Morris claims that in itself is a violation of federal laws regarding voter suppression and illegal tampering.
Morris went on to call for a federal investigation."

wont happen
The "morality/evangelical numbers look fudged -- too convenient for the liberal boogie man to show up in such unexpected numbers.
wishful thinking... but do you remember...
The "pants stuffer"
The "Rathergate"
These stories mysteriously dissapeared......
I really like Dick Morris. I know most people can't look past his association with Clintoon. I think he is smart and reformed. Maybe he's been scared straight.
Well I must agree!
"it seems to indicate that someone was manipulating the results or the process."
Noooooo. Now who would do such a thing?
He's correct. They should.
Morris is alright, for a toe-sucker.
Tomorrow is another day for The T.S.
"wont happen"
I bet it will. Everyone has egg on their faces, and they can't let that stand.
They need to let people know about "drag and drop" too.
I heard him say this, right after he said exit polls are the most reliable. I believe it. After all, as I've stated before.. I've never been exit polled and have lived in Philly, L.A. and now S.D. Where exactly are the exit pollers and are they getting the truth?
Some people like to mess with polls, too, so that's another factor.
Why does everyone call him a toe sucker?
p.s. Fire Joe Pa
(Before he dicks you!)
No investigation is needed.They either need to do them right or stop them,it`s not a hard thing to figure out.If your sample is 60-40 favoring women, any political novice can tell you that will give you a skewed result.The same would apply if the sample was 60-40 regular church goers,MTV viewers or pick any demographic with known leanings the results will not be accurate.
AP NEWS RAN THE EXIT POLLS for cryin' out loud...sheesh, do we have to drawer a pitcher???
All of a sudden Morris seems to be somewhat honest.
Did he convert to Christianity or something?
Trite phrase. Very old and not relevent. Give it up. Sheesh.
Trite phrase. Very old and not relevent. Give it up. Sheesh.
What we should have is an investigation into widespread voters fraud in Philly. Arrests should be made and those convicted should be sent to jail.
