Exit polls...

Please remember that participants in exit polls are self-selected. That means they choose whether or not to participate. Ron Paul voters are more likely to self-select than the supporters of other candidates. They want to announce they voted for Ron Paul.

This is what I've always been saying.

This is true.

QFT about the truth.

This is unlikely to be the cause for our performance and more likely about vote fraud. Vote fraud could easily drop us 2% in New Hampshire without appearing to be blatant. In fact, I believe the Iowa exit polls showed us doing worse than we did.

I was exit polled in the 2004 election. The pollsters stood outside the exit and asked every other voter to fill out a two page survey as they exited. Most agreed. While there is some "self-selection" in that some people don't want to be bothered, most people seemed to participate from my small bit of experience.

How about growing a brain?

It is a proven FACT that exit polling is a flawed process.

Sure, elections can be stolen, but PLEASE, accept reality.

I had the same experience in 2006. They're usually just right there, and most people are more than happy to do it. I don't really think "pride" in a particular candidate skews things too much.

I'm not saying they work, I'm just saying you can't presume that Ron Paul is going to do worse than the exit polls. On New Hampshire there probably was fraud bringing us down to fifth. If it happens again in Michigan I'm calling shenanigans.

That would be great if we were playing a card game of BS, but we couldn't even get the funds for a recount in NH. How are we going to do that here?
