Koppel gave a phony reason for why the exit polls didn't match the vote!

[glarius]

This was a cooked up explanation. If the question was asked "who did you vote for?" and the answer was "I don't want to tell you" (obviously they didn't say I'm voting for Bush but I don't want to tell you)....how do the pollsters know whether the voters who wouldn't answer were for Bush or for Kerry?....This is a phony theory!

Whitewash.

3. I truly believe now that

there are no honest, couragous reporters left here. None on TV anyway.

At your service, again....

5. Gee, Ted, you must like taking the vote from Minority voters!

Inner City voters had to wait HOURS to vote while their white suburban counterparts had NO PROBLEMS voting.

6. Of course it is phony. They have no way of knowing

why exit polls did not match the official results, if they say their exit polls were wrong. How in the world would they know why their exit polls were wrong, if they were wrong to begin with?
The only way they could know is if they contacted all those voters again, and some voters admitted they lied when polled, but they obviously didn't do that. So, HTF did they arrive to their stupid conclusion, using their "false exit polls"?

7. I agree. That's garbage.

Perhaps we can come up with a better one.

8. How come Zogby's poll matched the exit polls?

I'm sure I heard him say this after the election.

[More Than A Feeling]

9. A pollster told me that the reason the exit polls didn't match

Is that the early polls were biased in favor of females and democrats. It wasn't yet a representative sample. They get adjusted at the end to match the actual outcome.
