[Vision2020] Disenfranchisement (was re: Conspiracy?)

[Joan Opyr]

Or, alternatively, the early exit polls were accurate.  Can you not concede the possibility?  Or, better yet, can you explain the apparent discrepancy between the accuracy of exit polls in paper ballot precincts versus their inaccuracy in electronic voting precincts?  That's the question here.  Are people who vote via computer more reticent than those who vote by paper?  Or has something else gone wonky, e.g., the computer ate my vote?   

I certainly haven't noticed any computer-related reticence on this list, politics-wise, so I doubt the former explanation will prove satisfactory.

PS: Also, since when have Kerry voters been more vocal than Bush supporters?  Are you trying to argue, Dan, for a nation full of painfully shy, wallflower conservatives?

Exactly.  And evidently, early on in the evening, the bulk of answerers were Kerry voters.
