trump loyalists will attempt to conduct their own crowd-funded exit polling on election day, ostensibly due to fears that electronic voting machines in certain areas may have been “rigged”, the Guardian has learned.

But the effort, led by Trump’s notorious informal adviser Roger Stone, will focus on 600 different precincts in nine Democratic leaning cities with large minority populations, a tactic branded highly irregular by experts, who suggested that organizers could potentially use the polling as a way to intimidate voters.

Stone told the Guardian that around 1,300 volunteers from the controversial Citizens for Trump grassroots coalition would conduct exit polling in Cleveland, Detroit, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Milwaukee, Fort Lauderdale, Charlotte, Richmond and Fayetteville – all locations in pivotal swing states.

Stone, who did not identify the particular precincts volunteers would be targeting, argued that the polling methodology, was “designed by professionals”, but was unable to identify who these professionals were. The former Richard Nixon adviser added that the effort was being run by the “Stop the Steal” organization, a group founded by Stone in the lead up to the Republican national convention in July, which organized protests aimed at preventing party delegates from taking the nomination away from Trump.

2. Just more dribble by Trump. He is a business man, does not know how to govern.

7. In other words ...

We know he lost big time and we are doing some
whining ahead of time to avoid the rush.

10. Does he really think that minority voters will talk to Cheeto poll watchers?

I'd tell them get the f away from me you bigot.

12. It sounds more like voter intimidation than

an attempt to get any meaningful data.

11. If any of those states have early voting,

then exit polls simply aren't reliable.

I don't know if the early voting states announce those early voting results as soon as the polls close, or not.

13. yeah and who is doing an exit poll of the exit poll?

Trump is going to come out the day after the election with evidence that all the urban areas voted for him but he still lost. willing to bet the percentages will miraculously be JUST enough for him to win those states if the vote wasn't "rigged"

and then the lawsuits begin.
