Today is Election Day

Yippee!!!
My stomach is in knots. I am so excited and unless they cheat AGAIN, this is for history.

Today is a momentous day anyway because of some weird Saturn Uranus opposition. Saturn (the old) fights Uranus (the new, the avant garde, the Change) above and below.

This just in...

Historically, exit polls have been used as a gauge of the validity of an election. In 2004, for the first time in history, exit polling was invalidated as an institution because they failed to support the Bush "victory".

I went to Drudgereport.com to see what's up with those freaks and found this:

McCAIN CAMPAIGN MEMO: READING THE EXIT POLLS

As we have seen in previous election cycles, the exit poll results do leak early and that ends up influencing the coverage of the race before even the first state polls close at 6:00 PM Eastern.

However, we want to remind the campaign that the media’s own post-election study of the exit polls in 2004 showed that the exit polls overstate the Democratic candidate’s support. Therefore, we would discourage a rush to judgment based on the exit polls and wait until there has been a representative sampling of actual tabulated results from a variety of counties and precincts in a state.

Here are the key points to keep in mind when the exit poll data starts being leaked:

1. Historically, exit polls have tended to overstate the Democratic vote.

2. The exit polls are likely to overstate the Obama vote because Obama voters are more likely to participate in the exit poll.

3. The exit polls have tended to skew most Democratic in years where there is high turnout and high vote interest like in 1992 and 2004.

4. It is not just the national exit poll that skews Democratic, but each of the state exit polls also suffers from the same Democratic leanings.

5. The results of the exit polls are also influenced by the demographics of the voters who conduct the exit polls.

After the 2004 election, the National Election Pool completed a study investigating why the exit polls that year showed John Kerry over performing 5.5 net points better than the actual results showed him to have done. Their conclusion was that the primary reason the exit polls was that Kerry voters and Democrats were more likely to participate in the exit polls.

“Our investigation of the differences between the exit poll estimates and the actual vote count point to one primary reason: in a number of precincts a higher than average Within Precinct Error most likely due to Kerry voters participating in the exit polls at a higher rate than Bush voters. There has been partisan overstatements in previous elections, more often overstating the Democrat, but occasionally overstating the Republican.

I am really wary of these kind of things because its like they are setting up to steal it again.
Stay tuned...
