Virginia Lt. Gov. Fairfax says he took polygraphs, again denies sexual assault allegations

Are we to believe that two polygraphs are more definitive than just one?

If a person passed the first polygraph, what would be the motivation to take a second one?

Is passing two polygraphs out of three a sign of truth or deception?

“And there is a reason polygraph tests are not admissible in court.”

That is particularly true with respect to politicians, because they have honed the practice of lying down to where it is second nature to them, and hence undetectable by a polygraph.

How to beat a polygraph test.

1. If you know the person administering the polygraph will not release bad results there is no stress and thus you can lie and pass the test.

2. The use of anti-anxiety drugs will allow you to pass a legitimate polygraph test even if you are lying.

Polygraphs are useless against a person that knows how to defeat them. They are very effective against the ignorant.
