The underlying error, Mitofsky's firm said in a report this January, is "likely due to Kerry voters participating in the exit polls at a higher rate than Bush voters."

Possibly because Republicans, who've never done an honest day's work in their lives, have day jobs on election day, all the lay-abouts have time to chat with pollsters.

That was my immediate take, on Nov. 3.

That would be my take. I walked to the poll, voted, and then walked to the bus stop to get to work. Students might've been off, but teachers weren't.

The only person I spoke to were the two or three people on line at the front desk. I saw that they had their cards out and ready. I stopped and told the first one I made eye contact with, "This line's for information. If you have your card and know your district, you can just walk in there." (She smiled and then all three walked into the next room. My civic duty was done.)

I got to my precinct at 6:00 A.M. that day, waited in line nearly 2 hours + then made it to work only an hour late at 9:00 A.M. Everything was orderly, and everyone had I.D. There was some "observer" running around like crazy trying to find irregularities.

You should have seen all those Republicans who had never worked a day in there lives with company trucks and vehicles going to work after they voted before sunrise that morning.
