Exit polls - At least a glimpse of the Senate race in Mass.
Boston.com ^

Posted on 01/19/2010 12:41:17 PM PST by jcsjcm

Since they will not be showing exit polls very well in Massachusetts, take a look at Boston.com 2010 senate results at link provided.

On the right column you will see Pollwatcher and under that it states this: poll reports from readers. Click on that link. Now pick a city/town to view reader results. I checked my town and every town around me and the overwhelming majority is for Brown.

I was very excited to see this! Pick a town and give results if you want. Should be interesting to see what is really happening by voters!

I chose a few towns that are close by and I got: Franklin: 25 Brown, 7 Coakley, 1 Kennedy Norfolk: 6 Brown, 3 Coakley Franklin: 6 Brown, 3 Coakley Upton: 3 Brown Mendon: 6 Brown, 1 Coakley

Not bad - at least it shows that Brown supporters are revved up. I didn't go for any towns around Boston. Some comments were pathetic and disgusting! ;)

One writein for a Kennedy is more than enough; but, this demonstrates that there are still many people in MA enchanted by the Kennedy mafia.

These are not “exit polls”. They are self reports from folks who voted. Maybe trust worthy ——at least as good as what the news guys do

Kennedy is the Libertarian candidate.

Self reported exit polls by MA residents!

I’m sure they can and will be tainted at a later time, but for now they seem pretty accurate on what is going on at the polls. A little glimpse is better than none!

You can tell the difference between our little towns and where the suits live by how many Coakley are voted on. I wasn’t surprised when I viewed Boston! I just hope our little country towns can overpower the vote!

I stand corrected; but, again, I daresay it’s a vote for the name, not the candidate-that’s a shame.

Check out Pittsfield, in the leftest end of the state, where Coakley is from - just one report:

“HOW CROWDED: There were trickles of people around 9:30AM”

Dums are no-shows!

Beverly—I scrolled down and it looked like 17-8 for Brown. Make that 18-8, as I entered my own observations—I think they have to verify my entry by email

Cove Elementary School 8:50 am
I voted for Brown
Observation: 4 sign holders for Brown, 0 for Coakley
Tough to find a parking space. Steady stream of voters

Hmmm...interesting website, but I come from a very small town and just put in my voting information. One other person, supposedly from my town, listed her information saying she voted at the high school. We don’t vote at the high school, we vote at the town hall.

From Andover on that page: “Essentially
a Scott Brown rally at the entrance to the parking lot, must have been 30 people with tons of signs, waving, smiling, lots of cars honking. On the other side of the entrance, 3 Marth Coakley supporters, talking to one another.” (Andover High)

My main concern is in absentee ballots. There are only limited ways to cheat in regular ballots because people were there and count the number of people. There may be some differences in numbers, but it cannot be too big. Absentee ballots, however, are more easy to manipulate. Does the SoS issue the daily number of absentee ballots received by them? E.g., Jan 12 - 2,054 votes, Jan 13 - 4,543 votes, and so on.

This way, they couldn't pull Gregoire or others, where suddenly a bunch of absentee ballots was found.

I’m sure they will be watching for this very carefully (I hope). I really don’t know what they do in this state, but I do know that my son got an absentee ballot. They would not allow me to pick it up. I could go to the town hall and request one for him, but they would then mail it to my home.

I just made him go down during his Christmas vacation from college and they allowed him right there on the spot to vote and seal. It was good that they requested his license to verify his address and person. I hate corruption!

The Libertarian candidate is named Joe Kennedy.

He's a Democrat stalking horse, designed to draw votes away from Brown based on his name alone.

A Kennedy on the ballot? The grannies in the nursing home will vote for him. They voted for Jack back in 1960.

Certainly makes sense with “that” name.
