75. Or how about this possibility?
There were irregularities/mistakes (whatever you want to call them) in both the vote tabulations and the exit polls between 1988 and 1996?

It would be interesting to know what these were, but I believe that would be impossible to determine. It would also be interesting to know what the pollsters learned that enabled them to do better in 2000. Why didn't that work in 2004?

The 2004 polls appear very suspicious but without the nitty gritty detail about how the sampling and analyses were done, I would find it difficult to argue that they constitute proof of fraud.

I remain suspicious because I wonder why these organizations bother with exit polls on election night if they are going to be so far off anyway. If they are only doing it in order to determine who voted and why, then why not just report that information and forget about data that is untrustworthy anyway?

I do strongly suspect that fraud was committed because it would have been so easy to do and the motivation was there.
