Those faulty exit polls were sabotage
It's a mere four days after the election and there are a flood of reports coming out about the electronic voting machines not working right. Where "hanging chad" was the catch phrase of the 2000 elections, "computer glitch" will quick become the catch phrase for the 2004 elections.
I'd think that the republicans would want a thorough investigation into the matter. Would they really prefer a president elected through a "glitch."??
Those faulty exit polls were sabotage=The Hill.com=: "Exit polls are almost never wrong. They eliminate the two major potential fallacies in survey research by correctly separating actual voters from those who pretend they will cast ballots but never do and by substituting actual observation for guesswork in judging the relative turnout of different parts of the state.
So reliable are the surveys that actually tap voters as they leave the polling places that they are used as guides to the relative honesty of elections in Third World countries. When I worked on Vicente Fox�s campaign in Mexico, for example, I was so fearful that the governing PRI would steal the election that I had the campaign commission two U.S. firms to conduct exit polls to be released immediately after the polls closed to foreclose the possibility of finagling with the returns. When the polls announced a seven-point Fox victory, mobs thronged the streets in a joyous celebration within minutes that made fraud in the actual counting impossible."
