AN EASY AND VISIBLE EXIT POLL TO ASSURE A TRUE VOTE!


January 14, 2008
by Kathryn Smith

This plan was developed by an activist friend of mine. It’s easy and brilliant!

A) When voting for a President, the precincts should have color-coded chips for each voter to drop into a jar. Color A is for Candidate A and Color B is for Candidate B.

B) Voters drop the color-coded chips into a jar on the way out the door.

C) Color chips are counted at the end of the voting day.

BINGO! You have a visible exit poll.

To avoid voter discouragement, the jar should be submerged from view, perhaps inside a box. But when the jar is taken out of the box, it is caught on camera by members of the public (using cell phones or video cameras), and the chips counting also is done on camera. The results are posted to the internet (Very important) and bingo! You’ve got it.

2. Bill Maher suggested this the other night.
He said that is how the ancient greeks voted -- with one dark and one light pebble.

4. Screw exit polls
Just count the votes correctly in the first place. They are in fact the only thing that does count. Exit polls count for nothing. Why waste time trying to construct an accurate exit poll
