Who around here is worried about exit poll discrepancies and generally bad polling this election?

[hellofromreddit]

There will be more elections beyond this primary. Will you have confidence in them? What should change?

1. every election.

Look at the polling nonsense in 2012, That Romney was so close? Even ahead?

[Jackie Wilson Said]

2. Exit polls were always accurate until the stolen election in 2004 in Ohio.

4. ^^^This. The same time HAVA introduced the new electronic voting machines, whose

source code and inner workings are propriety to the company with no local elections board oversight whatsoever.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

5. And now it is even worse because the GOP controls so many counting processes.

Between that and voter obstruction, we are in deep trouble if we dont GOTV.

[silvershadow]

6. We are in deep trouble already. Frogs in a pot. nt

[Jackie Wilson Said]

9. Difference is you and I are in the pot, our POC and gay friends and Latino friends

and Muslim and women friends are under it.

[silvershadow]

10. Bernie has a plan to take the pot off of all of us. nt

[Jackie Wilson Said]

11. he does, but he no longer is allowed in the kitchen after June, I think

[silvershadow]

13. Time will tell. If he doesn't make it, it will be because of Bonnie and Clyde's Great

Coast to Coast Disenfranchisement Tour.

3. What we learned…

It is apparently fact that polling, ahead of schedule, for general elections are reliable while polling for primaries is more questionable.

8. The system is corrupt. We all know it even though

many of us won't admit it. It's designed to protect the establishment from the ground up, and that is exactly what it's doing. The will of the voters be damned....they're not "registered" properly, or their registration was mistakenly changed...boo hoo.

[Dem2]

15. You know it

I'd know it too if there was some concrete evidence to look at.

14. Extremely concerned.

Exit polls are an exceptionally accurate measure of elections. In the last three elections in Germany, for example, exit polls were never off by more than three-tenths of one percent. Unlike ordinary opinion polls, the exit sample is drawn from people who have actually just voted. It rules out those who say they will vote but never make it to the polls, those who cannot be sampled because they have no telephone or otherwise cannot be reached at home, those who are undecided or who change their minds about whom to support, and those who are turned away at the polls for one reason or another. Exit polls have come to be considered so reliable that international organizations use them to validate election results in countries around the world.

I'm wondering if there are any organizations like verifiedvoting.org mounting investigations into suspect elections? (Other than the AZ efforts like this one.)

16. I am and I didn't expect to see these things in the primary

too much. But the case of Arizona clearly involved criminal fraud--using signatures from drivers licenses to change the registration of Dems--that appears to have mainly benefited Clinton. I originally thought this was Republican voter suppression, but it doesn't seem to make sense.

But truthfully the entire political system seems to be designed to limit choices to a narrow spectrum of political views.

[Buzz Clik]

17. not in the slightest.

Year after year. Same old whining.

NEWSFLASH!!! EXIT POLLS ARE NOT ACCURATE!

give it a rest.

[msongs]

19. oddly enuff it is only cheating when bernie loses. when he wins it is TOTALLY HONEST lol nt

[hellofromreddit]

20. I never said that. What are you trying to accomplish by lying all the time?

[onecaliberal]

21. I definitely am, we should all be concerned.

[Demsrule86]

22. Exit polls are stupid

They have always been erratic...people lie...and the sample is not good. What difference does it make...only poll that matters is the one on election day.
