Polls show Shrub not winning 1994 Gov race.. Any DU Scoop?

[Melissa G]

Hi all,
There is wonderment about the polls in the 1994 Texas gubernatorial race? There is a question as to whether Shrub won that one legitimately.

A post in the comment section by PollStudent is below along with a link to the article.
Any knowledgeable DU input here?
Thanks,
Melissa

A detailed exit poll analysis shows that GW Bush had a FRAUDULENT 25% added to his actual vote count in the 2000 Texas presidential race. Also, Bush had a FRAUDULENT 15% added to his actual vote count in the 1994 Texas gubernatorial race. Many other Republicans have a 15% to 20% error added to their vote totals. According to the exit polls, GW Bush LOST both of these races, but the large errors were added to his vote totals, which caused him to win the Texas governorship, and the US presidency.

The source of the exit poll data is the Roper Center's Voter News Service (http://www.ropercenter.uconn.edu/elect_2004/past_state.html), and the source of the final vote count is the printed reference: "America Votes", volume 24,
ISBN 1-56802-600-5.

Next month, we can expect ALL Republicans to win, with "last minute upsets", as the vote counting is fraudulent.

3. so do I assume from the lack of response that Texas DUers

Think shrub won the 1994 race fair and square? I'm asking for someone else's research and your opinion matters if you know something about this. I was disinclined to think there was basis for this assertion but I was not watching for election fraud at the time. Please respond if you have some helpful input. I'd like to put this question to bed...
Thanks,
Melissa

4. Hi Melissa!

I need to talk to you off list. I'll send you a PM, I think I have some good information for you on this, but it needs someone with good analysis skills to do it. I think you will be impressed.

6. Let me see if I follow you...

...if extrapolated samples of exit polls don't match the certified election results, then clearly it's the certified election results that are wrong.

Sorry, wrong. Many counties in Texas were still using punch cards (including mine, Jefferson) not Diebold and Democrats made up the majority of vote counters in those counties.
