1. I remember that night.....

boy, did it suck.

But it's posts like that one that make me proud to be a DUer.....I went to bed that night knowing that they scammed the results. All because we have people here that don't buy the bullshit that corporate media trys to sell us.

4. I wanted so much to join DU that day

but it was locked to new members. I read every thread though. What torture it was and still is...

5. I was locked out too---and I was going nuts watching CNN and

reading the posts on DU.
To this day, my friends (all of them are Dems) still think I'm imaginng that something went terrribly wrong that night. I am thankful for DU.

6. CNN knows it was stolen

Even they aren't stupid enough to buy the changes in their numbers. They just don't want to report it.

8. thank you

I really admire the people who are diligent and intelligent enough to capture this information and record it. Thank you so much. Our media sources are not watching out for us, they're at the root of the problem. I'm glad I found DU - I cancelled cable after the election.

10. i remember reading somewhere that adjusting the exit poll

to factor in the actual vote was stadard procedure for the exit polling company. i'll try to find the article -- i might have been dreaming.

12. exit poll data is changed.........

as more exit poll data comes in. That way you get a total true picture of the results factored over time.

Look at the 2 screens carefully. Notice the swing in % changes vs. the incremental # of samples added. It is impossible for the overall results to move as much as it did, given the small added # of samples that were included in the dataset.

Clearly, they (the Republican corporate media and this administration) had a problem. The "corrections" to the actual votes were not squaring with exit polling sampling. So they "fixed" their exit poll results.

Note the time in the AM. Probably figured no one would notice. No added explanation on why the small addition to the sample population creates a move in the aggregated results that's outside of the realm of possibility, either. Either the CNN statisticians aren't very bright or they were hoping to pull a fast one on the viewers that were watching the election results.
