Chuck Hagel and election fraud?

Yesterday evening after I got home I watched part of a program that I believe was on Current TV about election fraud and more particularly about how exit polls began to vary wildly in some elections beginning back in the 1980's. It was interesting to me to note that they said that Chuck Hagel's election to the Senate seat from Nebraska was the first example of a late nigh complete reversal of the poll predicted results. In short they implied heavily that Hagel's election was rigged. Anyone know any more about this?

A few other websites had articles on it. It might even be in the archive of www.salon.com

That shows him to be a very smart politician, possibly pro-active.

Rigging the vote, spewing hate speech, voting for the Iraq War, however you slice him, he's a peach of a Republican. DU loves him now.
