46. The Exit Poll report presumes that the vote counts are right--
http://www.exit-poll.net/election-night/EvaluationJan192005.pdf
(Page 35) Italics mine
In precincts with an interviewing rate of “1” (every exiting voter is approached), there was still a WPE (Within Precinct Error)
in the Kerry direction of almost 4 points. Again, this indicates that a portion of the WPE is coming from differential nonresponse.

Why in the world do they presume the polls are across-the-board incorrect when they actually approached every voter in the above example?
