39. My position...
- Fraud did not occur to an extent that changed the election.
- The exit polls were not designed to be accurate until weighted with actual vote totals. Therefore they are incapable of detecting fraud.
- I had thought the polls might be helpful in verifying particular precincts, but after seeing the WPE scatterplot Internut posted above, that doesn't look promising.

The Ukraine exit polls were designed to detect fraud, this poll was not.

I've probably missed a few of TIAs posts but I have read most of them. I simply don't agree with the conclusions. For the most part, I think the calculations are accurate, but the input data is bad... "garbage in, garbage out".

I'm not an activist... for me politics is more of a "spectator sport". I respect your commitment, but doubt I will ever get involved to that level. I don't have a goal on DU... I like to read others viewpoints. I occassionly throw in my .02... my read to write ratio is extremely high.
