Exit poll in battleground states indicated Kerry victory

Several waves of exit poll data about the national, popular vote showed Kerry beating Bush by two to three percentage points. Early polling data showed Kerry beating Bush in Pennsylvania and Ohio. And two of three surveys of people leaving polls in Florida showed him winning there, too. (The third had the candidates tied.)

That bears out Zogby's prediction as well. May I add that after the 2000 fiasco, the exit poll was rebuilt. And it's this rebuilt exit polling was showing a Kerry win. Wake up, people! It's not the poll that's messed up, it's the count!

Electronic Voting Machines Woes Reported

But there were also several dozen voters in six states—particularly Democrats in Florida—who said the wrong candidates appeared on their touch-screen machine's checkout screen, the coalition said.

In many cases, voters said they intended to select John Kerry (news - web sites) but when the computer asked them to verify the choice it showed them instead opting for President Bush (news - web sites), the group said.

An Election Spoiled Rotten

It's not even Election Day yet, and the Kerry-Edwards campaign is already down by a almost a million votes. That's because, in important states like Ohio, Florida and New Mexico, voter names have been systematically removed from the rolls and absentee ballots have been overlooked—overwhelmingly in minority areas, likeRio Arriba County, New Mexico, where Hispanic voters have a 500 percent greater chance of their vote being "spoiled." Investigative journalist Greg Palast reports on the trashing of the election.
