The National Exit Poll must match the official vote count — come hell or high water - x
Assume you had the full set of the Preliminary National Exit Poll results that showed Obama winning with a 57.8% vote share. ... The poll results differ sharply from the official vote count that has Obama winning 52.34%.  But the National Exit Poll Final results must match the official vote count — come hell or high water.  It’s standard operating procedure: pollsters alter exit poll data to be the same as the election results.  How would you go about it?
...

1. With so much early voting and voting my mail exit polls have become meaningless
That's my take on it. Too few people vote on election day at the polls to get an accurate number from exit polls.

2. *Final* Exit Polls become mathematically impossible when forced to match fraud-based vote counts.

"...It’s standard operating procedure: pollsters alter exit poll data to be the same as the election results..."



"Too few" vote on Election Day? All-time high absolute turnout.

121 million on Election Day (Official Count was 52.34% Obama; *Final* Exit Poll was matched to the recorded vote count, whether or not fraud-based; Prelim Exit Polls haven't been released yet, unlike in previous election years)...10 million "late" votes (Obama 59%) added to make 131.37m == 52.87% Obama. (Uncounted Votes still to be determined, 70-80% will be Democratic.)

"Meaningless"? That the 2008 Final Exit Poll is mathematically impossible suggests the Obama vote count -- whether election-day 52.3% or current 52.87% -- is fraudulent. Final Exit polls are always 'forced' to match the vote count "come hell or high water". In 2004, the Preliminary Exit Poll was plausible, while the Final Exit Poll was impossible. Under present election conditions, there's less basis for "Vote Count Fundamentalism" than "Exit Poll Fundamentalism". Obama may have won the vote count, but that doesn't diminish the election fraud factor. The size of a mandate matters.

The NEP pollster has chosen NOT to disclose Preliminary Exit Poll results in 2008 as they unfolded on Election Day. Only the 'forced' Final has been released. (It always "confirms" the vote count...and the pollster is always 100% "accurate".)

The Final National Exit Poll anomalies should have been reported by the media.  But the NY Times,  CNN,  ABC,  the Washington Post commissioned the NEP.  The impossible results will remain official.  Otherwise, the public would know that Obama really won by more than 20 million votes. That’s too big a mandate; he would be compelled to enact a progressive agenda.  More important, the Corporate Media does not want the public to know that Bushco stole both elections, and that the same Final NEP anomalies existed in 2004.

3. No surprise--otherwise pollsters would have to declare exit polls "wrong." (As they did
a few years ago.)
