5. So he condemns the "early leaks"? What about prior elections? Any leaks?

Quote from article:

"Since exit polls historically have been quite accurate, and the differences as likely to have been in one candidate's favor as the other's, we're confronted with the question of what caused them. Given the indefensible withholding of the full exit-poll data by Edison Media Research, Mitofsky International, the Associated Press and various networks, we can only hazard guesses based on what was available election night. The obvious speculation, alluded to above, is that the exit samples were decidedly nonrandom."

Just release the data, Mr. Mitofsky, and quit your bellyaching!
