9. some cover-up
They posted the preliminary exit poll results around 7:30 PM ET, left them up for hours, then eventually reweighted to official returns as in previous elections. How does one say it? Lamest. Cover-up. Ever.

("shut down the election reporting system"? umm, whatever)

No, sorry, independent exit polls are not a high priority: unless you are anticipating double-digit fraud (and perhaps even then), they will not be accepted as strong evidence by folks who don't expect fraud in the first place. The aftermath of 2004 makes my point here, no matter what you think actually happened. You are convinced, most people aren't, you are left to complain about it.
