An analysis of the original AP exit polling, which
showed Kerry with a tighter margin and leading in myriad states, raises
serious questions about the authenticity of the popular vote in several
key states. Since the actual outcome of the votes have been called, AP
has changed nearly all of their exit polling to tighten the margin. A
reason has not been given. The analysis, first conducted by a poster at
the popular Democratic Underground, suggests possible voter fraud in
states that do not have electronic voting receipts, and those that
limit the media's access to polls. Two inquiries placed by RAW STORY
with the media contact for the six-network exit polling consortium at
NBC News has received no response. The curious result comes after the
head of Diebold, which produces much of the nation's electronic voting
machines, told Republicans in a recent fund-raising letter that he is
"committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president
next year." An exit poll involves asking someone after they walk out of
the election booth who they voted for. While not a guide for proving
results, it can be a mechanism for ensuring voting accuracy and
flagging potential fraud. Exit polls were recently used in Venezuela to
ensure the vote was accurate and legitimate. [more]
