As far as the exit polls go...they were not right for several past elections..and for several reasons..Accuracy of exit polls depend on the pollsters. First...by its very nature, early exit polls can only canvass the early voter. Habits of early voters are ASSUMED to be one party or another based on past experience. Yet,not all people vote according to party affiliation. Just as weather forecasts miss often times, exit polls will do the same if the assumptions or the statistical models are inaccurate. For example, in Florida, registered Dems DID NOT vote for Kerry in the numbers assumed. So, the exit polls were wrong because the statistical models were wrong. Exit polls cannot be used to predict the winner. Also, what people say and how they vote are not always the same..especially considering some of the abuse Bush voters got while standing in line for example (check out the media accounts)
As far as knowing about fraud, the best way to figure that out is to determine IF people who are registered and voting are (1) still living in the area (2) dead or alive. If we don't require some photo proof of our right to vote, fraud will continue...especially in the large cities where people do not know each other. But everytime that is suggested, people cry voter intimidation!
I DO think the Dems knew they did not have the provisional votes in Ohio to counter Bush AND Bush would have been able to counter NHampshire and PA (NHampshire has same day registration....another prime possiblity for fraud)

Sorry for the long post...but I still don't see why The LP, if all they want is to check out fraud, hasn't been as vocal in other states than just the ones Kerry lost.

I agree with you about the exit polls. They could never be accurate in the way the MSM pretends them to be. Heck the polls conducted on a daily basis are rife with bias one way or another depending on who is funding the poll or what is being asked. I also heard that some puposely lied to the exit poll takers to make them look bad. I also know some Libertarians who lied in these polls saying they voted for Bush in front of R friends, or for Badnarik when they really voted for Bush.

As far as not being vocal in other states: My guess at this point is that we have been active in other states. You see we _never_ get covered by the MSM no matter what we do. The only reason this is actually being covered by any station IMHO is because the G's and D's are the darlings of the media and they've decided to pursue these things also.

I'm asking around the LP right now about other investigations, I will reply when I find out more solid information. For now, I'm going to say goodbye cause my dinner is getting cold!

I appreciate everyone's respectful discussion of this matter. It would concern me greatly if the LP weren't doing things to uncover and fix electoral abuse in those other states.

BTW: I do know the LP received reports of at least one Republican being accosted who had his hand slashed in Ohio by some claiming to be Democrats. They stated when they attacked this man that it was because he was "one of the ones who hadn't allowed them to vote". This has been submitted as part of the ongoing investigation, and I'm sure that it is also being pursued as a criminal assault investigation at this point as well.
