[extropy-chat] An odd discrepancy in exit polls in touch-screen electronic voting states

[Mike Lorrey]

This may be true. However, I want to state that at the Amherst, NH
polls, where I held signs for my libertarian candidate from 6 am to
1pm,  there was a NYT exit pollster who I was incredibly unimpressed
with. In my opinion, his results could be no more counted on than an
internet poll. If pollsters in general acted like him, it is no wonder
results were off (oh, and NH is a paper ballot state, btw, with
widespread reports of vote fraud from people jumping the border and
falsely registering).

This fellow gave his poll to two sorts of people:

a) people who specifically came up to him that wanted to take the poll,
and
b) a handpicked few persons who I observed to be overwhelmingly what I
would call 'obvious liberals', based on clothing, facial hair, etc.
