Source: CBS News, 9/26/18, Christine Blasey Ford's attorneys release polygraph results on Kavanaugh allegations.
The test administered to her violates all professional protocols for polygraph tests. For example, see The Polygraph and Lie Detection, Appendix A, Polygraph Questioning Techniques. Look at the sections on Relevant/Irrelevant Questions and Comparison (Control) Questions.
A comparison/ control question is ALWAYS asked first. This was clearly not done.
I'm surprised that there is virtually no question being raised about this bogus polygraph test she was given. It's obvious that Jerry Hanafin (he gave the test) is complicit.
“A comparison/ control question is ALWAYS asked first. This was clearly not done.”

Yes - two things:
First, if that is the entire record of the session, the examiner usually asks a series of questions to calibrate the polygraph’s base line -
e.g. Is your name ———?
Do live in -—?
and so on. They usually also ask a question(s) to “gauge lying”, that is ask them to give a false answer to an obvious questioh, e.g. ask a Caucasian if she is Asian and have have her reply “Yes”.
Second thing - only two questions? That’s absurd on it’s face.
Congenital liars always ace the polygraph!
