Pick a precinct.
Collectively we need to hire a profesional and recognizable polling firm to contact voters from some small precincts, maybe in Florida, to do post election exit polling. Seriously, how could the media ignore the findings?
Obviously most would try to discredit it, but we need to know and would be difficult to dispute.
Any ideas as to what it would cost or who could do it?

1. See if the MoveOn people can help
We worked at the precinct level canvassing door-to-door in targeted precincts nationwide. They have databases and we gave them feedback on whether people were Kerry, Bush, or not voting or undecided. Then they had us check people in to make sure they voted, if they were voting Kerry.

They are now involved in pushing for the investigation.

3. They may be to partisan.
At least up front. They may be able to fund such an effort though
I've been contacting them. I was encouraged that they are finally getting involved. Seem to be on the side of caution at this point.

2. forget it.
the exit polling is fine its the media which is lying and they know it.

exit polls are used all around the world to verify the honesty of the vote. they pretend that only in bushworld exit polling is no longer valid.

vns had it right in florida in 2000. rather than question the count which they couldnt or wouldnt verify they demonized and destroyed vns. 2002 more mysteries.
2004 top news orgs put together their own exit polling then when it shows the fraud they jigger the numbers to make them fit and demonize the exit polling again instead of the obvious. there is no spine or honesty in this corporate media. it is almost useless except as a diversion from reality.
