"The new report shows that exit polls overstated Kerry's support in 26 states, while estimates overstated Bush's support in four states. The problem is not new -- in every presidential election since 1988, exit polls have overstated support for Democrats nationally -- but the discrepancy in 2004 was more pronounced than in previous years."

- AND THAT AFTER THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE "FIXED" THE METHODOLOGY TO "AVOID" THIS TYPE OF "PROBLEMS"!

HOW IN THE HELL IS THE DNC NOT PURSUING LEGAL ACTIONS AGAINST THESE CRIMINALS???

They REALLY DON'T HAVE statisticians and decent pollsters to EXPLAIN THEM what happened on November 2nd???

More "jewelry" for you:

"-Distance restrictions from polling places imposed upon the interviewers by election officials at the state and local level.

- Weather conditions, which lowered completion rates at certain polling locations.

- Multiple precincts voting at the same location as the precinct in the exit poll sample.

- Interviewer characteristics, such as age, which were more often related to the errors last year than in past elections."

ALL THOSE PROBLEMS "UNDERSTATE" "*" VOTERS BUT DON'T AFFECT KERRY'S VOTERS.

This type of "rationale" CANNOT, SHOULD NOT BE ACCEPTED BY ANYBODY WITH A FUNCTIONING BRAIN.

IS AN INSULT!
