I found this at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx As stated on the web page, these numbers should be taken with a huge grain of salt.

In 2000, the early numbers favored Bush. In 2002, exit polling was terribly innacurate. Exit polling also doesn't account for absentee and early ballots. And it's still early in the day. PA and MN will be much closer than these number indicate.
i didn't even know that they started counting votes until the polls closed... things like this are bad - it might cause people to vote who normally would not have voted.. just another step to make this election a mess.


hope for america...

You're right Bishop, I didn't think this through before I posted it. I got excited and let my fingers get ahead of my brain. If a moderator wants to delete this thread I have no problems with it.

What you should know about exit polls.

Very informative. The Mystery Pollster explains just how Exit Polls are taken and their limitations.
