66. AAAUUUUGGGHHHH. I didn't bookmark the thread.
The original source came from Faun Otter (someone with search capability can find it in a flash).

There was an analysis of "raw exit" polls that were released (but they were not all that early in the day) -- and those raw exit polls accurately predicted the outcome of the election in states whose election machinary was largely "paper" oriented (i.e. auditable). Those raw exit polls did not predict the outcome so well in "electronic balloting" states so well (and hence the charts from TIA).

And despite what the media has been saying with their noise machine for the past 4 days, exit polls have been very accurate at predicting the outcome of elections for many, many decades. Someone will be sure to tell you the exit polls from FL 2000 didn't work, but we all know the problems in FL, between butterfly ballots, punch cards, etc.

There is also evidence that one of CNN's exit polls, which had something like 1980 samples and was a few points in Kerry's favor, dramatically swung like 5 points giving Bush a few point lead. The swing came about after only 50 more samples were added to the poll.

The evidence is there to show the "final" exit polls may well have been "cooked" to match the final "official" tallies. This is why the focus is on the "raw" exit polls, because if they predicted the outcome in paper balloting states, then why the heck do they not predict the outcome in electronic balloting states?

Please read that previous paragraph again. It is the crux of the issue which has us smelling vote fraud at a massive scale.
