Thank the GODDESSES! "Exit Poll To Be Conducted In California"


Exit Poll To Be Conducted In California self.SandersForPresident

submitted 2 hours ago * by RLS_2

The Institute for American Democracy & Election Integrity has arranged for the Columbus Institute of Contemporary Journalism to conduct an exit poll in California. They have the funding they need for the polling. From their website:

“Be sure to take a printed copy of your registration to the polling location if you are not a permanent absentee voter. If you are, and your ballot came in the mail, check your ballot to be sure it accurately represents the party in which you are registered, which allows you to vote for the candidate of your choice. We recommend physically taking your ballot to the polling location, rather than mailing it, so there is no chance that it gets lost in the mail.

“Other things you can do include becoming a poll observer with a modest amount of training. Manipulation of the vote can frequently be minimized when there are people watching the process. Becoming a poll worker is an even bigger step. If you happen to be voting on an electronic voting machine without a paper trail, take a video or snapshot of the screen if you see it was flipped to the opposing candidate or if your candidate of choice fades away on the screen.

“If there are major discrepancies in the California exit poll and the vote totals … participating in an audit could be a great contribution. The exit poll we are proposing will be run through the Columbus Institute of Contemporary Journalism.”

I delivered my ballot to the Office of the Registrar of Voters a week ago.
Not sure why anyone would not want an absentee ballot.

I can't explain it, but it's always a fulfilling experience. When my daughter was young, I'd wait until she was out of school and take her with me. I wanted to reinforce it as an important civil duty.

How's a corrupt politician suppose to steal an election when people are watching?

California is, without a doubt, the most important primary in this election. I am so thankful they're doing exit polling!

And if there is a major discrepancy, people damn well better scream bloody murder.
