I have never told the truth to an exit pollster. Nor will I ever.

[cherokeeprogressive]

If you want to know how I voted, count my ballot by hand. Count it tonight, or count it tomorrow. Count it THE DAY AFTER FOR FUCK'S SAKE. I don't care. You've NO RIGHT to ask me how I voted, and I'm under NO OBLIGATION to tell you. EVER.

I've lied about how I voted, I've lied about my demographic, AND I've lied about whether or not I've even voted.

We practice SECRET BALLOTING in this country. Google it, or go to Wiki and learn what "secret balloting" is.

The MSM has imploded because of its need to "call the election" before anyone else.

I like to think I had a hand in that.

1. Thank you.

I agree 100%.

2. Cantankerous!

:evilgrin:

I guess they're just mad because they couldn't smell the fish in the stream.

3. So...why not just refuse to answer instead of lying?

:shrug:

[Der Blaue Engel]

4. Yeah; strange, that

No one forces you to answer an exit poll. :shrug:

[Freddie Stubbs]

6. Perhaps he/she is lying right now

:silly:

I just said "I prefer not to say" and bolted Tuesday

What's with all the dramatics?

5. You do realize exit polling is done internationally in order to

help verify the election in the absence of a forced recount, right?

And you do realize exit polling- at least, prior to this shameful era in this one lonely nation- is very widely recognized as a valid indicator of likely election results?

I don't *trust* exist polling to be a be-all-end-all Magic 8 Ball, but neither do I condemn exit polling as an unconscionable practice. Exit polling is one benchmark among several, and in this day and age, we need as many benchmarks as possible.

10. Well Said.

Are you going to bother to vote in our "primary"? I haven't decided if it's worth it.

7. In 35 years of voting, I've never BEEN exit polled

I'm surprised you say you "never" answer them. Do you live in New Hampshire or something?

How many people here have actually been asked to participate in an exit poll? I'm suddenly curious.

[HughMoran]

9. I was Tuesday

I told them "I would prefer not to say" and bolted. They has a video camera in my face too - how annoying!

8. It's what Rachel Maddow said tonight on MSNBC

It's none of the pollsters' damned business.

12. Wow, you must be so proud. I'll bet your mom is proud too.

Someone call the Nobel committee.
