The problem is the density of the population ~ exit polls do not poll everyone, nor are they set up to target populations ~ the result is if you wanted to poll East Asians you set up at a couple of polling stations in Honolulu county.

See how IRS was able to target the TEAParty by selecting a couple of key words to use to select applications. Think of exit polling the same way. A key word would be Hawaii. Another key word would be Chicago, another Philadelphia ~ and so on.

South Asians are even more difficult to target that way because they tend to be much more integrated than the East Asians. Still, there aren't really enough of either to make it possible to run a statistically valid exit poll to determine their preferences.

This is not what happened with the CNN exit polls. The real problem is that the GOP doesn't want to accept reality and then deal with it. The Reps problem is changing demographics fueled by misguided immigration policies. Political correctness and the delusion that they can somehow attract the majority of minorities and immigrants to vote GOP have prevented them from taking the necessary actions to address these problems. It is much the same way that Obama fails to identify radical Islamic fundamentalism as our enemy.

I can tell you from personal experience here in Fairfax County where there is a sizable population of both, they vote overwhelmingly Dem--as do all minorities and immigrants.
