Exit Polls Will Be Delayed

"The consortium of news organizations that runs the election exit polls has voted to delay distribution of data for several hours on future election days," the Washington Post reports. "Exit poll data will not be distributed until after 4 p.m. EST."

Said a spokesman: "There were an awful lot of people on the Internet talking about things they don't understand. First-wave exit poll data is not terribly accurate."

Mayflower Hill interviews exit pollster Warren Mitofsky.

Meanwhile, Mystery Pollster examines some of the "must-read" academic studies examining the exit poll results and concludes "it's tempting to engage in a little wishful thinking about the exit polls. However, to continue to see evidence of vote fraud in the 'unexplained exit poll discrepancy' is more than wishful. It borders on delusional."
