Sorry, didn't see this earlier--I usually mention that when I share this article. I think it's still relevant bc: a. It's an analysis of the shady history of election machine companies, & it's all the same people today; 2. Obama did fix *some* of the issues in the HAVA act, but many are still there.

People are going to tell you that exit polls matched the outcome. You may be interested to learn that exit polls are "adjusted" by the pollsters to match the outcomes. Raw exit polling data is hard to find. Thom Hartmann wrote about this here: hartmannreport.com/p/exit-polli...
