Stolen or Lost?    Story Here  Archive

Steven F. Freeman, AlterNet. Posted January 20, 2005. Russ Baker's critique of my work analyzing the exit poll discrepancy ("Election 2004: Stolen or Lost") ? and, by implication, of the courageous stand taken by John Conyers and a small number of his Congressional colleagues ? is flawed from the first line. No one has said, "Exit poll results were more accurate than actual ballots." The question is whether the official count is an accurate reflection of ballots cast. In a system where campaign managers serve as election supervisors, where voting machines provide no assurance that votes are counted as cast, and where counts and "recounts" are conducted in secret, we must rely, unfortunately, on indirect evidence, such as exit polls, to ascertain the veracity of this official count as a measure of actual ballots cast.
