Ohio Does Its Magic: Hillary’s 3% Exit Poll Margin Morphs to 10% in the Vote

TruthIsAll      http://www.geocities.com/electionmodel/OhioOldReliable.htm

Ohio just did for HRC what it did for Bush in 2004. Bush's Ohio vote share exceeded his "pristine" exit poll share by 5.4%.
Clinton's 2-party vote share exceeded her unadjusted (9pm) exit poll share by 3.6%   (55.2 – 51.6%).

Clinton won the 2-party vote by a 10.6% margin  (55.3 – 44.7%).  But her unadjusted exit poll margin was just 3.4%  (51.7 – 48.3%).
As is always the case, the Final Exit Poll was adjusted to match the vote count.
For comparison, the Unadjusted and Final Exit polls are provided below.

The final Zogby Ohio pre-election poll had the race dead even. The poll was confirmed by the unadjusted exit poll, just as it was in New Hampshire and in 2004 in the battleground states. John Zogby must be one awfully frustrated pollster. Since 2000, election fraud has consistently skewed his projections. But he never mentions the F-word.

It should be obvious by now to anyone who has analyzed pre- and post-election polling data since 2000 that primaries and general elections have been silently screaming election fraud. But the main stream media and the politicians keep blinders on the public while catapulting the misinformation that the pre and post-election polls are wrong and the vote count is correct. They never mention the probability of election fraud as the root cause of the polling discrepancies. Like 9/11, election fraud is a” third-rail” subject not to be openly discussed, much less investigated by the media.

Tommy Heinrich was a NY Yankee baseball player who played right field with Joe DiMaggio in center. His nickname was "Old Reliable" because he could always be counted on to deliver in the "clutch". Ohio is "Old Reliable" for the Republicans. It will deliver its phantom votes in the clutch for John McCain just like Diebold's CEO and Secretary of State Blackwell delivered them for Bush in 2004.

Stalin said it: It's not who votes. It's who counts.


      Clinton  Obama   Margin
Vote
   55.23   44.77    10.46
EPoll  51.65   48.35     3.30

Shift   3.58   -3.58     7.16

The probability that the 3.6% shift was due to chance is 1 in 4,436 (assuming a 2% exit poll margin of error).
Assuming a 3% MoE, the probability of the shift is 1 in 103.

Calculate the probability of a 3.58% 2-party shift from the unadjusted exit poll to the vote.
Assume a 2-3% margin of error (MoE) range.

Use the Excel normal distribution function:
Probability = Normdist (0.5165, 0.5523, MoE/1.96, true)

MoE        Prob      1-in-

2.0%      0.02%    4,436
2.2%      0.07%    1,403
2.4%      0.17%      578
2.6%      0.35%      287
2.8%      0.61%      164
3.0%      0.97%      103
