What's the status of exit polling for this election to expose BBV fraud?

[JohnOneillsMemory]

Remember when there was none in 2002 and we were hoodwinked hard?
Seems that's all that can prevent another Repub theft of democracy.

2. Won't prevent it. Can merely expose it.

No recounts possible. Voting and counting will be once and final.

3. VNS was disbanded, right?

4. There is no more exit polling

The pukes made it look like exit polling got it wrong in florida in 2000 and caused a problem making the networks call it for Gore (and giving chimpy a reason to drink too many beers).

There will be no more exit polling because americans don't give a damn about honest elections.

6. See the Carter op-ed?

Don't remember if it was the Times this week, or where.
Basically said that Florida is in as bad a shape as it was in 2000 and possibly worse considering the electronic voting machines. At this late date all we can do is pay particuarly close attention. Sounded to me like he would be working for independent observation in Florida.

7. Do you mean this one from the Washington Post 9/27/04??

<snip>
After the debacle in Florida four years ago, former president Gerald Ford and I were asked to lead a blue-ribbon commission to recommend changes in the American electoral process. After months of concerted effort by a dedicated and bipartisan group of experts, we presented unanimous recommendations to the president and Congress. The government responded with the Help America Vote Act of October 2002. Unfortunately, however, many of the act's key provisions have not been implemented because of inadequate funding or political disputes.

The disturbing fact is that a repetition of the problems of 2000 now seems likely, even as many other nations are conducting elections that are internationally certified to be transparent, honest and fair.

The Carter Center has monitored more than 50 elections, all of them held under contentious, troubled or dangerous conditions. When I describe these activities, either in the United States or in foreign forums, the almost inevitable questions are: "Why don't you observe the election in Florida?" and "How do you explain the serious problems with elections there?"

The answer to the first question is that we can monitor only about five elections each year, and meeting crucial needs in other nations is our top priority. (Our most recent ones were in Venezuela and Indonesia, and the next will be in Mozambique.) A partial answer to the other question is that some basic international requirements for a fair election are missing in Florida.

8. That's good, but not the one I saw

I'll have to check. It was within the last week and had some of the same language, but did not say they could not monitor Florida. The one I saw suggested that if they didn't do it, some other independent organization should.

Damn, I like that guy. Real class act
