Exit polls - methodology is everything.

That's something I'm no seeing discussed here. What methodology is being used in the exit polls being talked about? Any fault in methodology makes them unreliable, I'd think.

I suspect that's the flaw here. Without a detailed description of the methodology of an exit poll that doesn't line up with actual vote counts, there's no way to evaluate the poll.

So, does anyone have a link that actually details methodology in polls that are being used to question election results?
